[[ilm-rollover]]
=== Rollover
Phases allowed: hot.
Rolls an alias over to a new index when the existing index meets one of the rollover conditions.
IMPORTANT: If the rollover action is used on a <<ccr-put-follow,follower index>>,
policy execution waits until the leader index rolls over (or is
<<skipping-rollover, otherwise marked complete>>),
then converts the follower index into a regular index with the
<<ilm-unfollow-action,the Unfollow action>>.
For a managed index to be rolled over:
* The index name must match the pattern '^.*-\\d+$', for example (`my_index-000001`).
* `index.lifecycle.rollover_alias` must be configured as the alias to roll over.
* The index must be the <<<<indices-rollover-is-write-index, write index>> for the alias.
For example, if `my_index-000001` has the alias `my_data`,
the following settings must be configured.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT my_index-000001
{
"settings": {
"index.lifecycle.name": "my_policy",
"index.lifecycle.rollover_alias": "my_data"
},
"aliases": {
"my_data": {
"is_write_index": true
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
[[ilm-rollover-options]]
==== Options
You must specify at least one rollover condition.
An empty rollover action is invalid.
`max_size`::
(Optional, <<byte-units, byte units>>)
Triggers roll over after the specified maximum primary shard index storage size is reached.
`max_docs`::
(Optional, integer)
Triggers roll over after the specified maximum number of documents is reached.
Documents added since the last refresh are not included in the document count.
The document count does *not* include documents in replica shards.
`max_age`::
(Optional, <<time-units, time units>>)
Triggers roll over after the maximum elapsed time from index creation is reached.
[[ilm-rollover-ex]]
==== Example
[[ilm-rollover-size-ex]]
===== Roll over based on index size
This example rolls the index over when it is at least 100 gigabytes.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT _ilm/policy/my_policy
{
"policy": {
"phases": {
"hot": {
"actions": {
"rollover" : {
"max_size": "100GB"
}
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
[ilm-rollover-documents-ex]]
===== Roll over based on document count
This example rolls the index over when it contains at least one hundred million documents.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT _ilm/policy/my_policy
{
"policy": {
"phases": {
"hot": {
"actions": {
"rollover" : {
"max_docs": 100000000
}
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
[ilm-rollover-age-ex]]
===== Roll over based on index age
This example rolls the index over if it was created at least 7 days ago.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT _ilm/policy/my_policy
{
"policy": {
"phases": {
"hot": {
"actions": {
"rollover" : {
"max_age": "7d"
}
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
[ilm-rollover-conditions-ex]]
===== Roll over using multiple conditions
When you specify multiple rollover conditions,
the index is rolled over when _any_ of the conditions are met.
This example rolls the index over if it is at least 7 days old or at least 100 gigabytes.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT _ilm/policy/my_policy
{
"policy": {
"phases": {
"hot": {
"actions": {
"rollover" : {
"max_age": "7d",
"max_size": "100GB"
}
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
[ilm-rollover-block-ex]]
===== Rollover condition blocks phase transition
The rollover action only completes if one of its conditions is met.
This means that any subsequent phases are blocked until rollover succeeds.
For example, the following policy deletes the index one day after it rolls over.
It does not delete the index one day after it was created.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT /_ilm/policy/rollover_policy
{
"policy": {
"phases": {
"hot": {
"actions": {
"rollover": {
"max_size": "50G"
}
}
},
"delete": {
"min_age": "1d",
"actions": {
"delete": {}
}
}
}
}
}
