=== Example of using an index lifecycle policy | ||
=== Tutorial: Use {ilm-init} to manage {filebeat} time-based indices | ||
|
||
With {ilm} ({ilm-init}), you can create policies that perform actions automatically | ||
on indices as they age and grow. {ilm-init} policies help you to manage | ||
performance, resilience, and retention of your data during its lifecycle. This tutorial shows | ||
you how to use {kib}’s *Index Lifecycle Policies* to modify and create {ilm-init} | ||
policies. You can learn more about all of the actions, benefits, and lifecycle | ||
phases in the {ref}/overview-index-lifecycle-management.html[{ilm-init} overview]. | ||
|
||
|
||
[discrete] | ||
[[example-using-index-lifecycle-policy-scenario]] | ||
==== Scenario | ||
|
||
You’re tasked with sending syslog files to an {es} cluster. This | ||
log data has the following data retention guidelines: | ||
|
||
* Keep logs on hot data nodes for 30 days | ||
* Roll over to a new index if the size reaches 50GB | ||
* After 30 days: | ||
** Move the logs to warm data nodes | ||
** Set {ref}/glossary.html#glossary-replica-shard[replica shards] to 1 | ||
** {ref}/indices-forcemerge.html[Force merge] multiple index segments to free up the space used by deleted documents | ||
* Delete logs after 90 days | ||
|
||
|
||
[discrete] | ||
[[example-using-index-lifecycle-policy-prerequisites]] | ||
==== Prerequisites | ||
|
||
To complete this tutorial, you'll need: | ||
|
||
* An {es} cluster with hot and warm nodes configured for shard allocation | ||
awareness. If you’re using {cloud}/ec-getting-started-templates-hot-warm.html[{ess}], | ||
choose the hot-warm architecture deployment template. | ||
|
||
+ | ||
For a self-managed cluster, add node attributes as described for {ref}/shard-allocation-filtering.html[shard allocation filtering] | ||
to label data nodes as hot or warm. This step is required to migrate shards between | ||
nodes configured with specific hardware for the hot or warm phases. | ||
+ | ||
For example, you can set this in your `elasticsearch.yml` for each data node: | ||
+ | ||
[source,yaml] | ||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
node.attr.data: "warm" | ||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
* A server with {filebeat} installed and configured to send logs to the `elasticsearch` | ||
output as described in {filebeat-ref}/filebeat-getting-started.html[Getting Started with {filebeat}]. | ||
|
||
[discrete] | ||
[[example-using-index-lifecycle-policy-view-fb-ilm-policy]] | ||
==== View the {filebeat} {ilm-init} policy | ||
|
||
{filebeat} includes a default {ilm-init} policy that enables rollover. {ilm-init} | ||
is enabled automatically if you’re using the default `filebeat.yml` and index template. | ||
|
||
To view the default policy in {kib}, go to *Management > Index Lifecycle Policies*, | ||
search for _filebeat_, and choose the _filebeat-version_ policy. | ||
|
||
This policy initiates the rollover action when the index size reaches 50GB or | ||
becomes 30 days old. | ||
|
||

image::images/tutorial-ilm-hotphaserollover-default.png["Default policy"] | ||
|
||
|
||
[float] | ||
==== Modify the policy | ||
|
||
The default policy is enough to prevent the creation of many tiny daily indices. | ||
You can modify the policy to meet more complex requirements. | ||
|
||
. Activate the warm phase. | ||
|
||
+ | ||
. Set either of the following options to control when the index moves to the warm phase: | ||
|
||
** Provide a value for *Timing for warm phase*. Setting this to *15* keeps the | ||
indices on hot nodes for a range of 15-45 days, depending on when the initial | ||
rollover occurred. | ||
|
||
** Enable *Move to warm phase on rollover*. The index might move to the warm phase | ||
more quickly than intended if it reaches the *Maximum index size* before the | ||
the *Maximum age*. | ||
|
||
. In the *Select a node attribute to control shard allocation* dropdown, select | ||
*data:warm(2)* to migrate shards to warm data nodes. | ||
|
||
. Change *Number of replicas* to *1*. | ||
|
||
. Enable *Force merge data* and set *Number of segments* to *1*. | ||
+ | ||
NOTE: When rollover is enabled in the hot phase, action timing in the other phases | ||
is based on the rollover date. | ||
|
||
+ | ||
[role="screenshot"] | ||
image::images/tutorial-ilm-modify-default-warm-phase-rollover.png["Modify to add warm phase"] | ||
|
||
. Activate the delete phase and set *Timing for delete phase* to *90* days. | ||
+ | ||
[role="screenshot"] | ||
image::images/tutorial-ilm-delete-rollover.png["Add a delete phase"] | ||
|
||
[float] | ||
==== Create a custom policy | ||
|
||
If meeting a specific retention time period is most important, you can create a | ||
custom policy. For this option, you will use {filebeat} daily indices without | ||
rollover. | ||
|
||
. Create a custom policy in {kib}, go to *Management > Index Lifecycle Policies > | ||
Create Policy*. | ||
|
||
. Activate the warm phase and configure it as follows: | ||
+ | ||
|=== | ||
|*Setting* |*Value* | ||
|
||
|Timing for warm phase | ||
|30 days from index creation | ||
|
||
|Node attribute | ||
|`data:warm` | ||
|
||
|Number of replicas | ||
|1 | ||
|
||
|Force merge data | ||
|enable | ||
|
||
|Number of segments | ||
|1 | ||
|=== | ||
|
||
+ | ||
[role="screenshot"] | ||
image::images/tutorial-ilm-custom-policy.png["Modify the custom policy to add a warm phase"] | ||
|
||
|
||
A common use case for managing index lifecycle policies is when you’re using | ||
{beats-ref}/beats-reference.html[Beats] to continually send time-series data, | ||
such as metrics and log data, to {es}. When you create the Beats packages, an | ||
index template is installed. The template includes a default policy to apply | ||
when new indices are created. | ||
+ | ||
. Activate the delete phase and set the timing. | ||
+ | ||
|=== | ||
|*Setting* |*Value* | ||
|Timing for delete phase | ||
|90 | ||
|=== | ||
|
||
You can edit the policy in {kib}'s *Index Lifecycle Policies*. For example, you might: | ||
+ | ||
[role="screenshot"] | ||
image::images/tutorial-ilm-delete-phase-creation.png["Delete phase"] | ||
|
||
* Rollover the index when it reaches 50 GB in size or is 30 days old. These | ||
settings are the default for the Beats lifecycle policy. This avoids | ||
having 1000s of tiny indices. When a rollover occurs, a new “hot” index is | ||
created and added to the index alias. | ||
. Configure the index to use the new policy in *{kib} > Management > Index Lifecycle | ||
Policies* | ||
|
||
* Move the index into the warm phase, shrink the index down to a single shard, | ||
and force merge to a single segment. | ||
.. Find your {ilm-init} policy. | ||
.. Click the *Actions* link next to your policy name. | ||
.. Choose *Add policy to index template*. | ||
.. Select your {filebeat} index template name from the *Index template* list. For example, `filebeat-7.5.x`. | ||
.. Click *Add Policy* to save the changes. | ||
|
||
* After 60 days, move the index into the cold phase and onto less expensive hardware. | ||
+ | ||
NOTE: If you initially used the default {filebeat} {ilm-init} policy, you will | ||
see a notice that the template already has a policy associated with it. Confirm | ||
that you want to overwrite that configuration. | ||
|
||
* Delete the index after 90 days. | ||
+ | ||
+ | ||
TIP: When you change the policy associated with the index template, the active | ||
index will continue to use the policy it was associated with at index creation | ||
unless you manually update it. The next new index will use the updated policy. | ||
For more reasons that your {ilm-init} policy changes might be delayed, see | ||
{ref}/update-lifecycle-policy.html#update-lifecycle-policy[Update Lifecycle Policy]. |
