elasticsearch

Delete all index with similary name

Hi everyone I have 100 index into my elasticsearch and I want to delete them with one query. They all begin with myindex:

myindex-1
myindex-2
myindex-3
myindex-4
  .
  .
  .
myindex-100

when I try this query, it does not work:

curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/myindex*

I get:

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"Wildcard expressions or all indices are not allowed"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"Wildcard expressions or all indices are not allowed"},"status":400}

Do you have any idea?

Solution

  • You could use The following in kibana dev tool:

    PUT /_cluster/settings
{
  "transient": {
  "action.destructive_requires_name":false

  }
}
