Managed indexes

This table lists the fields of managed index operations.

You can change any managed index policy, but ISM has a few constraints in place to make sure that policy changes don’t break indexes.

If you update the policy without including an identical state, ISM updates the policy only after all actions in the current state finish executing. Alternately, you can choose a specific state in your old policy after which you want the new policy to take effect.

• To attach the new policy to indexes in specific states, choose Choose state filters, and then choose those states.
• To start the new policy for indexes in the current state, choose Keep indices in their current state after the policy takes effect.
