Hi Team,

I set ISM policy to remove 3 day old indeces but polict removed all of the indeces without looking time of creation of indeces. I used ISM template like filebeat-tmb\*

naming is like below;  
filebeat-tmbtstweb01-7.12.1-2023.02.11  
filebeat-tmbtstweb01-7.12.1-2023.02.12  
filebeat-tmbtstweb01-7.12.1-2023.02.13 etc…

my ISM config;  
{  
“id”: “t”,  
“seqNo”: 1396,  
“primaryTerm”: 1,  
“policy”: {  
“policy\_id”: “t”,  
“description”: “test”,  
“last\_updated\_time”: 1676296630643,  
“schema\_version”: 17,  
“error\_notification”: null,  
“default\_state”: “close”,  
“states”: [  
{  
“name”: “close”,  
“actions”: [  
{  
“retry”: {  
“count”: 3,  
“backoff”: “exponential”,  
“delay”: “1m”  
},  
“close”: {}  
}  
],  
“transitions”: [  
{  
“state\_name”: “delete”,  
“conditions”: {  
“min\_index\_age”: “3d”  
}  
}  
]  
},  
{  
“name”: “delete”,  
“actions”: [  
{  
“retry”: {  
“count”: 3,  
“backoff”: “exponential”,  
“delay”: “1m”  
},  
“delete”: {}  
}  
],  
“transitions”:   
}  
],  
“ism\_template”: [  
{

“filebeat-tmb\*”  
],

}  
]  
}  
}

Hi Team,

I created new policy but again it remove all indeces without looking index creation time. I checked system indeces about polict. Polict can detect index creation time correctly but still removing without look that. I just want to remove 3 days old indeces after closing them.
