We have an elasticsearch cluster 5.6.12 which xpack didn't installed on it, new indexes created on this cluster regularly, I found the index alias and I want to see the rollover condition of that index alias but I can't find any API for this purpose at this version, can any one help me?

Welcome to our community! 😃

That's very long past its [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) date, please upgrade with some urgency.

Thanks,  
Rollover creates a new index when the existing index is considered to be too large or too old.
