Start the ILM plugin
==== Request
`POST /_ilm/start`
==== Description
This API will start the ILM plugin if it is currently stopped. ILM is started
by default when the cluster is formed so this API is only needed if ILM has
been stopped using the <<ilm-stop, Stop ILM API>>.
==== Request Parameters
`timeout`::
(time units) Specifies the period of time to wait for the completion of the
start operation. When this period of time elapses, the API fails and returns
an error. The default value is `30s`. For more information about time units,
see <<time-units>>.
`master_timeout`::
(time units) Specifies the period of time to wait for the connection with master.
When this period of time elapses, the API fails and returns an error.
The default value is `30s`. For more information about time units, see <<time-units>>.
==== Examples
The following example starts the ILM plugin.
