elasticsearchHow do I delete an index in Elasticsearch?


To delete an index in Elasticsearch, use the DELETE method on the /_cat/indices endpoint. For example:

DELETE /my_index

This will delete the index my_index.

The following parts make up the example code:

  • DELETE: This is the HTTP method used for deleting an index.
  • /my_index: This is the name of the index to be deleted.

If the index was successfully deleted, the response should be a 200 status code.
