Effects of deleting a field index policy

If you delete a field index policy that has been in effect for a time, the following happens:

  • For up to 30 days after the policy is deleted, queries can still benefit from the indexed log events.

  • If you delete a log-group level index policy, and there is already an account-level policy in place that would apply to that log group, the account-level policy will eventually apply to that log group.
