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:
|
|
|
|
* Create a new index each day, week, or month and archive previous ones
|
|
* Spin up a new index when an index reaches a certain size
|
|
* Delete stale indices to enforce data retention standards
|
|
|
|
[TIP]
|
|
To automatically back up your indices and manage snapshots,
|
|
use <<getting-started-snapshot-lifecycle-management,snapshot lifecycle policies>>.
