There are no details about the default ILM policy settings or index template options in the Rollover tutorial, so I'm adding them as these topics are relevant to explore. I'm also adding a link to the page about viewing the lifecycle of an existing index or data stream into the tutorial.

To match other ILM pages, I've added tabs for Kibana and API steps where applicable.

Fixes #1562

* `index.lifecycle.rollover_alias` specifies the index alias to be rolled over when the rollover action is triggered for an index.

You can use the {{kib}} Create template wizard to add the template. To access the wizard, open the menu and go to **Stack Management > Index Management**. In the **Index Templates** tab, click **Create template**.

You could consider using a snippet if the content of this tab is the same as the one above/elsewhere on the page. It'll be easier to keep the info consistent

Thanks, Wajiha! Although very similar, these steps are not entirely equivalent.

I'm thinking it would probably be better to break this up into three separate pages (future improvement task), one per each tutorial and rewrite them with content reuse in mind.
