== Start and stop {ilm}
All indices that are managed by ILM 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 actions. For this reason,
ILM has two ways to disable operations.
Normally, ILM will be running by default.
To see the current operating status of ILM, use the <<ilm-get-status,Get Status API>>
to see the current state of ILM.

=== Stopping ILM=
The ILM service can be paused such that no further steps will be executed
using the <<ilm-stop,Stop API>>.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
POST _ilm/stop
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[continued]
When stopped, all further policy actions will be halted. This will
be reflected in the Status API

}

// CONSOLE
// TESTRESPONSE
The ILM service will then, asynchronously, run all policies to a point
where it is safe to stop. After ILM verifies that it is safe, it will
move to the `STOPPED` mode.

=== Starting ILM
To start ILM and continue executing policies, use the <<ilm-start, Start API>>.
[source,js]

////
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET _ilm/status

The Start API will send a request to the ILM service to immediately begin
normal operations.
