Elasticsearch: index lifecycle management

When to use

Use this skill for index lifecycle management in Elasticsearch. This skill specifically handles index lifecycle management and nothing else in the Elasticsearch family.

Procedure

Configure ILM policies with hot/warm/cold/delete phases, rollover on size/age, and attach policies to index templates.

Notes

This is the Elasticsearch skill dedicated to index lifecycle management. Sibling skills cover other Elasticsearch capabilities; this one is the right choice only when the task is about index lifecycle management.
