1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ an index lifecycle policy to roll over daily indices, rather than letting one shard grow until it's actually unmanageable.'
We 'apply a policy' — the standard, simple collocation for attaching an ILM policy to an index pattern. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Skipping the delete phase in an ILM policy can ___ old indices piling up until disk space is actually exhausted.'
We say a missing delete phase will 'leave' old indices piling up — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting disk pressure. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ rollover thresholds explicitly by size and age, rather than a default that fits no actual ingest rate we actually see.'
We 'set thresholds' — the standard, simple collocation for configuring when an index rolls over. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every ILM policy against a test index before applying it broadly, rather than rolling out a rule nobody's actually verified.'
We 'test a policy' — the standard, simple collocation for validating an ILM policy before wide rollout. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ index phase transitions on a dashboard weekly, rather than discovering a stuck policy only once storage costs actually spike.'
We 'monitor transitions' — the standard, simple collocation for watching indices move through ILM phases. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
