Documents are indexed using a preconfigured schema that captures the <<defining-rules-actions-variables, action variables>> available for the rule. By default, these documents are indexed into the `kibana-alert-history-default` index, but you can specify a different index. Index names must start with `kibana-alert-history-` to take advantage of the preconfigured alert history index template.

The `kibana-alert-history-*` indices are not configured to use ILM so they must be maintained manually. If the index size grows large,
consider using the {ref}/docs-delete-by-query.html[delete by query] API to clean up older documents in the index.
