Hi, We recently enabled an ILM policy for our indices using the Kibana UI. We have enabled the shrink and force merge options as follows: [image] The issue is, after rollover, the index (my-index-00001) is named as shrink-my-index-00001. Is it possible to specify the name of the new shrunk index…

[image] NerdSec: So, does that mean that my existing index pattern of my-index-* will work for the shrunk index too, right? Yes that's correct. [image] NerdSec: we are aiming to keep the shard size to around 40GB . Okay, for a 40gb shard you should be completely fine to fully force me…

Yes that's correct.

Okay, for a 40gb shard you should be completely fine to fully force merge it to a single segment.
