[DOC+][ILM][Troubleshooting] JQ for transient steps #99612
Conversation
👋 howdy, team! Can we add these common JQ queries to the [ILM Troubleshooting Doc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/index-lifecycle-error-handling.html) which check for indices not in "waiting" steps (as defined by Stef) of `[complete, check-rollover-ready]` and defining them as expectedly "transient" steps. Is helpful until/unless #93859

No - these commands need test coverage to avoid them going stale over time. I think the easiest way to achieve that will be to add these things to the ILM explain API, but maybe there are other ways if we really want to have |

I think we can close this, since we discussed it and decided adding columns to the cat indices would be a better solution. |

👋 @dakrone @DaveCTurner I would still prefer an aggregated summary on how ILM indices are doing if possible. Maybe my team's just used to the JQ query if we'd reconsider it. Alternatively, It looks like some ES Diags on more recent versions also have an |

That is the ILM indicator of the health report API, which is documented at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/health-api.html#health-api-response-details-ilm |

[complete, check-rollover-ready]and claiming the rest are "transient" steps.Will still be helpful even after #93859 .
