Automated Index Management for Elasticsearch.
Fully integrated with Search Guard Security.

Index Lifecycle Management
AIM allows you to define policies that automatically manage the entire lifecycle of your indices. From creation to deletion, each stage is handled based on your specific requirements. This ensures that your data retention policies are consistently enforced without manual intervention.
Data Rollover
As your indices grow, AIM can automatically roll over to new indices based on size, document count, or age thresholds. This prevents individual indices from becoming too large and impacting performance.
Index Replication
AIM can manage index replication, ensuring that your data is properly distributed across your cluster for high availability and fault tolerance.
Index Shrinking
Over time, as data becomes less frequently accessed, AIM can automatically shrink indices to optimize storage and improve query performance on older data.
Snapshot and Restore
Regular backups are crucial. AIM can schedule and manage snapshots of your indices, providing peace of mind that your data is always protected.
Cron-based Scheduling
With cron expression support, you have granular control over when each policy executes, allowing you to align index management tasks with your cluster's low-usage periods.
Node Selection
AIM lets you specify which nodes should execute these tasks, distributing the workload efficiently across your cluster.
Security Integration
Fully integrated with Search Guard's security features, AIM ensures that all automated actions comply with your access control policies.
