### Methods

| Name | Signature | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `deleteLifecycle` | `deleteLifecycle(this: [That](./That.md), params: [SlmDeleteLifecycleRequest](./SlmDeleteLifecycleRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta](./TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta.md)): Promise<[SlmDeleteLifecycleResponse](./SlmDeleteLifecycleResponse.md)>;` | Delete a policy. Delete a snapshot lifecycle policy definition. This operation prevents any future snapshots from being taken but does not cancel in-progress snapshots or remove previously-taken snapshots. |
| `deleteLifecycle` | `deleteLifecycle(this: [That](./That.md), params: [SlmDeleteLifecycleRequest](./SlmDeleteLifecycleRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptionsWithMeta](./TransportRequestOptionsWithMeta.md)): Promise<[TransportResult](./TransportResult.md)<[SlmDeleteLifecycleResponse](./SlmDeleteLifecycleResponse.md), unknown>>;` | &nbsp; |
| `deleteLifecycle` | `deleteLifecycle(this: [That](./That.md), params: [SlmDeleteLifecycleRequest](./SlmDeleteLifecycleRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptions](./TransportRequestOptions.md)): Promise<[SlmDeleteLifecycleResponse](./SlmDeleteLifecycleResponse.md)>;` | &nbsp; |
| `executeLifecycle` | `executeLifecycle(this: [That](./That.md), params: [SlmExecuteLifecycleRequest](./SlmExecuteLifecycleRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta](./TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta.md)): Promise<[SlmExecuteLifecycleResponse](./SlmExecuteLifecycleResponse.md)>;` | Run a policy. Immediately create a snapshot according to the snapshot lifecycle policy without waiting for the scheduled time. The snapshot policy is normally applied according to its schedule, but you might want to manually run a policy before performing an upgrade or other maintenance. |
| `executeLifecycle` | `executeLifecycle(this: [That](./That.md), params: [SlmExecuteLifecycleRequest](./SlmExecuteLifecycleRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptionsWithMeta](./TransportRequestOptionsWithMeta.md)): Promise<[TransportResult](./TransportResult.md)<[SlmExecuteLifecycleResponse](./SlmExecuteLifecycleResponse.md), unknown>>;` | &nbsp; |

| `getStats` | `getStats(this: [That](./That.md), params?: [SlmGetStatsRequest](./SlmGetStatsRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptions](./TransportRequestOptions.md)): Promise<[SlmGetStatsResponse](./SlmGetStatsResponse.md)>;` | &nbsp; |
| `getStatus` | `getStatus(this: [That](./That.md), params?: [SlmGetStatusRequest](./SlmGetStatusRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta](./TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta.md)): Promise<[SlmGetStatusResponse](./SlmGetStatusResponse.md)>;` | Get the snapshot lifecycle management status. |

| `putLifecycle` | `putLifecycle(this: [That](./That.md), params: [SlmPutLifecycleRequest](./SlmPutLifecycleRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta](./TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta.md)): Promise<[SlmPutLifecycleResponse](./SlmPutLifecycleResponse.md)>;` | Create or update a policy. Create or update a snapshot lifecycle policy. If the policy already exists, this request increments the policy version. Only the latest version of a policy is stored. |
| `putLifecycle` | `putLifecycle(this: [That](./That.md), params: [SlmPutLifecycleRequest](./SlmPutLifecycleRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptionsWithMeta](./TransportRequestOptionsWithMeta.md)): Promise<[TransportResult](./TransportResult.md)<[SlmPutLifecycleResponse](./SlmPutLifecycleResponse.md), unknown>>;` | &nbsp; |

| `start` | `start(this: [That](./That.md), params?: [SlmStartRequest](./SlmStartRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta](./TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta.md)): Promise<[SlmStartResponse](./SlmStartResponse.md)>;` | Start snapshot lifecycle management. Snapshot lifecycle management (SLM) starts automatically when a cluster is formed. Manually starting SLM is necessary only if it has been stopped using the stop SLM API. |
| `start` | `start(this: [That](./That.md), params?: [SlmStartRequest](./SlmStartRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptionsWithMeta](./TransportRequestOptionsWithMeta.md)): Promise<[TransportResult](./TransportResult.md)<[SlmStartResponse](./SlmStartResponse.md), unknown>>;` | &nbsp; |

| `stop` | `stop(this: [That](./That.md), params?: [SlmStopRequest](./SlmStopRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta](./TransportRequestOptionsWithOutMeta.md)): Promise<[SlmStopResponse](./SlmStopResponse.md)>;` | Stop snapshot lifecycle management. Stop all snapshot lifecycle management (SLM) operations and the SLM plugin. This API is useful when you are performing maintenance on a cluster and need to prevent SLM from performing any actions on your data streams or indices. Stopping SLM does not stop any snapshots that are in progress. You can manually trigger snapshots with the run snapshot lifecycle policy API even if SLM is stopped. The API returns a response as soon as the request is acknowledged, but the plugin might continue to run until in-progress operations complete and it can be safely stopped. Use the get snapshot lifecycle management status API to see if SLM is running. |
| `stop` | `stop(this: [That](./That.md), params?: [SlmStopRequest](./SlmStopRequest.md), options?: [TransportRequestOptionsWithMeta](./TransportRequestOptionsWithMeta.md)): Promise<[TransportResult](./TransportResult.md)<[SlmStopResponse](./SlmStopResponse.md), unknown>>;` | &nbsp; |
