- = Manage the index lifecycle
- [partintro]
- --
- 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>>.
- * <<overview-index-lifecycle-management>>
- * <<getting-started-index-lifecycle-management>>
- * <<ilm-policy-definition>>
- * <<set-up-lifecycle-policy>>
- * <<update-lifecycle-policy>>
- * <<index-lifecycle-error-handling>>
- * <<start-stop-ilm>>
- * <<using-policies-rollover>>
- * <<ilm-with-existing-indices>>
- * <<index-lifecycle-and-snapshots>>
