This addresses Edu's feedback for the popular Configure a lifecycle policy page, clarifying a few things:

  • Indicate that ILM applies to both data streams and standalone indices.
  • With standalone indices more manual work is required as compared to data streams, with additional steps described in Step 3 of the procedure.
  • Those additional steps are to set up the initial index and create an alias (we highlighted only the former).

Please see preview page.

Rel: #190
