Rollover Action

This creates a new write index for the alias specified in the index.aim.alias_mapping index setting and removes the alias from the current index.

For every index this action should be applied to the index settings must contain an alias_mapping index.aim.alias_mapping with the rollover_alias configured. Otherwise, the rollover attempt would fail.

Index Settings Example

{
  "index.aim.policy_name": "my-policy",
  "index.aim.alias_mapping": {
    "rollover_alias": "my-alias"
  }
}

Action Example

{
  "steps": [
    ...
    {
      "name": "active",
      "conditions": [ ... ],
      "actions": [
        ...
        {
          "type": "rollover"
        },
        ...
      ]
    },
    ...
  ]
}
