For example, if you receive the error message "Missing alias or not the write index...", you can set the `index.plugins.index_state_management.rollover_skip` parameter to `true` and retry to skip rollover action. The index format must match the pattern: `^.*-\d+$`. For example, `(logs-000001)`. Set `index.plugins.index_state_management.rollover_alias` as the alias to rollover.
