== Start and stop {ilm}
All indices that are managed by {ilm-init} will continue to execute
their policies. There may be times when this is not desired on certain
indices, or maybe even all the indices in a cluster. For example,
maybe there are scheduled maintenance windows when cluster topology
changes are desired that may impact running {ilm-init} actions. For this reason,
{ilm-init} has two ways to disable operations.
When stopping {ilm-init}, snapshot lifecycle management operations are also stopped,
this means that no scheduled snapshots are created (currently ongoing snapshots
are unaffected).
Normally, {ilm-init} will be running by default.
To see the current operating status of {ilm-init}, use the <<ilm-get-status,Get Status API>>
to see the current state of {ilm-init}.

=== Stopping {ilm-init}
The {ilm-init} service can be paused such that no further steps will be executed
using the <<ilm-stop,Stop API>>.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
POST _ilm/stop
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[continued]
When stopped, all further policy actions will be halted. This will
be reflected in the Status API
////
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET _ilm/status
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[continued]
////
[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"operation_mode": "STOPPING"
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"STOPPING"/$body.operation_mode/]
The {ilm-init} service will then, asynchronously, run all policies to a point
where it is safe to stop. After {ilm-init} verifies that it is safe, it will
move to the `STOPPED` mode.

=== Starting {ilm-init}
To start {ilm-init} and continue executing policies, use the <<ilm-start, Start API>>.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
POST _ilm/start
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[continued]
////
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET _ilm/status
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[continued]
////
The Start API will send a request to the {ilm-init} service to immediately begin
normal operations.
