The documentation for Metricbeat (beats/users.asciidoc at master · elastic/beats · GitHub) says:
When using ILM, turn off the ILM setup check
The documentation (Configure index lifecycle management | Functionbeat Reference [8.6] | Elastic) also says:
If you set this option to
false
, lifecycle policy will not be installed
So when using index lifecycle management (ILM), the lifecycle policy is not installed.
Is this a typo or a peculiarity?
