--
|
|
(Request, string) Comma-separated list or wildcard expression of indices to
|
|
delete.
|
|
|
|
In this parameter, wildcard expressions match only open, concrete indices. You
|
|
cannot delete an index using an <<indices-aliases,alias>>.
|
|
|
|
To delete all indices, use `_all` or `*` . To disallow the deletion of indices
|
|
with `_all` or wildcard expressions, change the
|
|
`action.destructive_requires_name` cluster setting to `true`. You can update
|
|
this setting in the `elasticsearch.yml` file or using the
|
|
<<cluster-update-settings,cluster update settings>> API.
