Add policy
Adds a policy to an index. This operation does not change the policy if the index already has one.
Request
POST _plugins/_ism/add/index_1
{
"policy_id": "policy_1"
}
Sample response
{
"updated_indices": 1,
"failures": false,
"failed_indices": []
}
Update policy
Updates a policy. Use the seq_no and primary_term parameters to update an existing policy. If these numbers don't match the existing policy or the policy doesn't exist, ISM throws an error.

Remove policy from index
Removes any ISM policy from the index.
Request
POST _plugins/_ism/remove/index_1
Sample response
{
"updated_indices": 1,
"failures": false,
"failed_indices": []
}
Update managed index policy
Updates the managed index policy to a new policy (or to a new version of the policy). You can use an index pattern to update multiple indices at once. When updating multiple indices, you might want to include a state filter to only affect certain managed indices. The change policy filters out all the existing managed indices and only applies the change to the ones in the state that you specify. You can also explicitly specify the state that the managed index transitions to after the change policy takes effect.
A policy change is an asynchronous background process. The changes are queued and are not executed immediately by the background process. This delay in execution protects the currently running managed indices from being put into a broken state. If the policy you are changing to has only some small configuration changes, then the change takes place immediately. For example, if the policy changes the min_index_age parameter in a rollover condition from 1000d to 100d, this change takes place immediately in its next execution. If the change modifies the state, actions, or the order of actions of the current state the index is in, then the change happens at the end of its current state before transitioning to a new state.
In this example, the policy applied on the index_1 index is changed to policy_1, which could either be a completely new policy or an updated version of its existing policy. The process only applies the change if the index is currently in the searches state. After this change in policy takes place, index_1 transitions to the delete state.
Request
POST _plugins/_ism/change_policy/index_1
{
"policy_id": "policy_1",
"state": "delete",
"include": [
{
"state": "searches"
}
]
}
Sample response
{
"updated_indices": 0,
"failures": false,
"failed_indices": []
}
Retry failed index
Retries the failed action for an index. For the retry call to succeed, ISM must manage the index, and the index must be in a failed state. You can use index patterns (*) to retry multiple failed indices.
Request
POST _plugins/_ism/retry/index_1
{
"state": "delete"
}
Sample response
{
"updated_indices": 0,
"failures": false,
"failed_indices": []
}
Explain index
Gets the current state of the index. You can use index patterns to get the status of multiple indices.
Request
GET _plugins/_ism/explain/index_1
Sample response
{
"index_1": {
"index.opendistro.index_state_management.policy_id": "policy_1"
}
}
The opendistro.index_state_management.policy_id setting is deprecated starting from version 1.13.0.
We retain this field in the response API for consistency.
Delete policy
Deletes the policy by policy_id.
Request
