Repair Elasticsearch ILM Rollover Alias Split
Fix ambiguous write aliases after an Elasticsearch rollover partial failure
$1
Repair Elasticsearch ILM Rollover Alias Split
Example session with this skill installed
Two indices claim the write alias while ILM cannot advance.
Available evidence: index alias state (partial). Additional evidence requested: state and configuration snapshot, error and recovery logs, deployment and alert timeline. Review the case, identify open evidence gaps, and do not invent a live test or production change.

Repair Elasticsearch ILM Rollover Alias Split — EVIDENCE-LIMITED REVIEW
Scenario received
Two indices claim the write alias while ILM cannot advance.
Source register
- S1: index alias state — PARTIAL SOURCE PROVIDED.
- S2: state and configuration snapshot — NOT PROVIDED; REQUIRED TO VERIFY.
- S3: error and recovery logs — NOT PROVIDED; REQUIRED TO VERIFY.
- S4: deployment and alert timeline — NOT PROVIDED; REQUIRED TO VERIFY.
Concrete checks
- inspect ILM history and write-index flags — PRELIMINARY, NOT VERIFIED.
- validate alias correction and rollback conditions — AWAITING CORROBORATING EVIDENCE.
- crosscheck source timestamps identifiers and changed versions — AWAITING CORROBORATING EVIDENCE.
- record exceptions and reversible verification gates — AWAITING CORROBORATING EVIDENCE.
Deliverables / acceptance gates
- index alias state evidence map: DRAFT / INCOMPLETE until evidence is validated.
- alias split exception register: DRAFT / INCOMPLETE until evidence is validated.
- one writer validation plan: DRAFT / INCOMPLETE until evidence is validated.
Decision
INCOMPLETE — HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED. Confirm dates, IDs, affected scope, owners and acceptance evidence. Do not claim authorization or execution that did not occur.

About this skill
Elasticsearch Index Lifecycle Management (ILM) failures often leave clusters in a broken state where multiple indices claim the same write alias. This skill identifies the root cause of rollover splits and generates the precise administrative actions needed to restore a single writer.
What it does
- Alias state mapping creates a clear map of which indices are currently competing for the write alias.
- ILM history inspection analyzes lifecycle logs to find the exact point of partial failure or timeout.
- Validation planning generates a step-by-step plan to remove invalid flags and re-point the alias.
- Exception registration logs timestamped contradictions between index metadata and expected ILM states.
How it works
- Analyze logs by reviewing index alias states, ILM history, and deployment timelines provided in the context.
- Classify evidence using a disciplined framework to mark observations as VERIFIED, CONTRADICTED, or UNVERIFIED.
- Generate recovery plan producing a bounded set of commands to fix the alias split without losing data.
Frameworks & tools
Specific to Elasticsearch and OpenSearch clusters using ILM or ISM policies. It requires local text exports of index settings, alias configurations, and cluster health logs.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Manual recovery from alias splits is high-risk and often leads to split-brain indexing or data loss. This skill enforces a strict evidence-led discipline that separates inferences from raw log data before suggesting any destructive alias changes.
Use cases
- Fix "multiple indices found for alias" errors during rollover.
- Resolve ILM stay-in-place stalls where the write index flag is duplicated.
- Audit cluster state after a failed manual intervention on a lifecycle policy.
Known limitations
Requires local text-based logs or state snapshots. It cannot directly connect to live clusters or execute API calls autonomously.
