In multi-target syntax, you can use a comma-separated list to execute a request across multiple resources, such as In multi-target syntax, you can use a comma-separated list to run a request on
data streams, indices, or index aliases: `test1,test2,test3`. You can also use multiple resources, such as data streams, indices, or index aliases:
{wikipedia}/Glob_(programming)[glob-like] wildcard (`*`) `test1,test2,test3`. You can also use {wikipedia}/Glob_(programming)[glob-like]
expressions to target any wildcard (`*`) expressions to target resources that match a pattern: `test*` or
resources that match the pattern: `test*` or `*test` or `te*t` or `*test*. `*test` or `te*t` or `*test*`.
You can exclude targets using the `-` character: `test*,-test3`. You can exclude targets using the `-` character: `test*,-test3`.
IMPORTANT: Index aliases are resolved after wildcard expressions. This can
result in a request that targets an excluded alias. For example, if `test3` is
an index alias, the pattern `test*,-test3` still targets the indices for
`test3`. To avoid this, exclude the concrete indices for the alias instead.
