= {ilm-init}: Manage the index lifecycle

You can configure {ilm} ({ilm-init}) policies to automatically manage indices
|
|
according to your performance, resiliency, and retention requirements.
|
|
For example, you could use {ilm-init} to:
|
|
|
|
* Spin up a new index when an index reaches a certain size or number of documents
|
|
* Create a new index each day, week, or month and archive previous ones
|
|
* Delete stale indices to enforce data retention standards
|
|
|
|
You can create and manage index lifecycle policies through {kib} Management or the {ilm-init} APIs.
|
|
When you enable {ilm} for {beats} or the {ls} {es} output plugin,
|
|
default policies are configured automatically.

[TIP]
|
|
To automatically back up your indices and manage snapshots,
|
|
use <<getting-started-snapshot-lifecycle-management,snapshot lifecycle policies>>.
