Rollover Policies

What is Rollover Policies?
Rollover policies in Elasticsearch automate the management of indices over time. They define conditions, such as index size, document count, or age, that trigger the creation of a new index and the transition of write operations to it. This process helps maintain manageable index sizes, optimize search performance, and simplify data retention strategies.
