Hi everyone,  
I have a self-deployed Elasticsearch cluster, and I have some troubles with a searchable snapshot. I successfully mounted NFS to data nodes, and configure Index Lifecycle Policies

I manually attach this policy for existing indices using the PUT request

But indices don`t store in the repo. Maybe, did I make a mistake?

Hey,

hard to tell with the existing information. Take a look at the explain lifecycle API, see [Explain lifecycle API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.1] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.1/ilm-explain-lifecycle.html) - this one might also help as a start: [Troubleshooting index lifecycle management errors | Elasticsearch Guide [8.1] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.1/index-lifecycle-error-handling.html)

Feel free to share any of those outputs if possible.

Thanks, for the reply  
I try this, but don't have success. Do I need it set node\_role - frozen?
