Welcome to our community! 😃

Please don't post pictures of text, logs or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂

Checkout the [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/ilm.html) relating to index lifecycle management. There's an option that can be used to disable the feature.

`setup.ilm.enabled: true`
