=== Managing index lifecycle policies
|
||
|
||
Your configured policies appear on the *Index lifecycle policies* page.
|
||
You can update an existing index lifecycle policy to fix errors or change
|
||
strategies for newly created indices. To edit a policy, select its name.

|
||
|
||
In addition, you can:
|
||
|
||
* *View indices linked to the policy.* This is important when editing a policy.
|
||
Any changes you make affect all indices attached to the policy. The settings
|
||
for the current phase are cached, so the update doesn’t affect that phase. This
|
||
prevents conflicts when you’re modifying a phase that is currently executing on
|
||
an index. The changes takes effect when the next phase in the index lifecycle begins.
|
||
|
||
* *Add the policy to an index template.* When an index is automatically
|
||
created using the index template, the policy is applied. If the index is rolled
|
||
over, the policies for any matching index templates are applied to the newly
|
||
created index. For more information, see {ref}/indices-templates.html[Index templates].
|
||
|
||
* *Delete a policy.* You can’t delete a policy that is currently in use or
|
||
recover a deleted index.
