|
(Required, string) Comma-separated list of indices to delete. You cannot specify
|
|
<<alias,index aliases>>.
|
|
|
|
By default, this parameter does not support wildcards (`*`) or `_all`. To use
|
|
wildcards or `_all`, change the `action.destructive_requires_name` setting to
|
|
`false`. You can update this setting in the `elasticsearch.yml` file or using
|
|
the <<cluster-update-settings,cluster update settings>> API. Wildcard patterns
|
|
only match open, concrete indices.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You cannot delete the current write index of a data stream. To delete the
|
|
index, you must <<data-streams-rollover,roll over>> the data stream so a new
|
|
write index is created. You can then use the delete index API to delete the
|
|
previous write index.
