You can also set up {{ilm-init}} to manage an existing set of indices that do not already have a managed lifecycle. Note that the {{ilm-init}} policy that you apply should not contain a rollover action since the policy won't be carried forward when the rollover action creates a new index. Refer to [Manually apply a lifecycle policy to an index](/manage-data/lifecycle/index-lifecycle-management/policy-apply.md) to learn more.
