To customize the retention period, set up a custom lifecycle policy for logs and metrics indices:

1. [Create a new index lifecycle management (ILM) policy](../../../manage-data/lifecycle/index-lifecycle-management/configure-lifecycle-policy.md) in the logging and metrics cluster.
2. Create a new, legacy-style, index template that matches the data view (formerly *index pattern*) that you want to customize the lifecycle for.
3. Specify a lifecycle policy in the index template settings.
4. Choose a higher `order` for the template so the specified lifecycle policy will be used instead of the default.

3. Specify a custom lifecycle policy in the index template settings.
4. Choose a higher `priority` for the template so the specified lifecycle policy will be used instead of the default.
