Delete Indices
action: delete_indices description: "Delete selected indices" options: continue_if_exception: False filters: - filtertype: ... Note
Empty values and commented lines will result in the default value, if any, being selected. If a setting is set, but not used by a given action, it will be ignored.
This action deletes the selected indices.
In clusters which are overcrowded with indices, or a high number of shards per node, deletes can take a longer time to process. In such cases, it may be helpful to set a higher timeout than is set in the configuration file. You can override that request_timeout as follows:
action: delete_indices description: "Delete selected indices" options: timeout_override: 300 continue_if_exception: False filters: - filtertype: ... Tip
See an example of this action in an actionfile here.
