Description
Search customers create indices using the API (Search > Content > Indices > Project > Overview).
- So how can I optimize my 5000 indices? Why don't we create a template or alias, or something for them? They have to rebuild everything.
- They go to Index management to find the index they created. They “Apply a lifecycle policy”, and it doesn't work. Cluster is broken. Banners saying index can't roll over. Even if it did it can't move to next phase.
- Problem is that index doesn't have the 00001 suffix.
- Applying the policy from our docs for manually created indices won't work.
- The only way is to skip the rollover, and move the indices manually.
- Aliases and rollover is not covered very well.
