If you use a wildcard `*` while adding a policy to an index, the ISM plugin interprets `*` as all indices, including system indices like `.opendistro-security`, which stores users, roles, and tenants. A delete action in your policy might accidentally delete all user roles and tenants in your cluster.
Don't use the broad `*` wildcard, and instead add a prefix, such as `my-logs*`, when specifying indices with the `_ism/add` API.

- You don’t need to update older documents.
- Your searches generally target the newer documents.
A typical workflow to manage time-series data is as follows:
- To split your data into an index for each day, use the rollover operation.
- To perform searches on a virtual index name that gets expanded to the underlying indices, create an [index alias]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/index-alias/).
- To perform a write operation on an index alias, configure the latest index as the write index.
- To configure new indices, extract common mappings and settings into an [index template]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/index-templates/).
Even after you perform all these operations, you’re still not enforcing the best practices when dealing with time-series data. For example, you can modify the indices directly. You’re able to ingest documents without a timestamp field, which might result in slower queries.
Data streams abstract the complexity and enforce the best practices for managing time-series data.
A typical workflow to manage time-series data consists of setting up an alias, configuring a rollover operation, defining a write index, and creating common mapping fields in an index template. Data streams simplifies this process.
With data streams, you can store append-only time-series data across multiple indices with a single endpoint for ingesting and searching data. We recommend using data streams in place of index aliases for time-series data.
