Im trying to get rid of debug syslog Messages after a certain amount of time.
The query is running without Errors but isn´t deleting any data:
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/logstash-syslog-vmware/_delete_by_query?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '
{
"query": {
"bool" : {
"must" : {
"match" : {
"syslog_severity" : "debug" }
},
"filter" : {
"range" : {
"#timestamp" : {
"gt" : "2017-10-13T09:00:00",
"lt" : "2017-10-13T11:30:00"
}
}
}
}
}
}'
Not really the answer that has been solved as per comment (using a wildcard) but let me say something.
If you intend to purge everyday the debug level old documents then I'd recommend using different indices:
One for the trace, debug levels and another for the others.
Then when you need to purge old data, just drop the index like DELETE logstash-syslog-vmware-debug-2017-10-13.
It will be much more efficient.
If it was only a one go operation, then feel free to ignore me :)
My Elasticsearch version is 2.1.1 .
I just want to update discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes as described in elasticsearch docs by running this:
curl -XPUT localhost:9200/_cluster/settings -d '{
"transient" : {"discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes" : "2"}
}'
the response is {"acknowledged":true,"persistent":{},"transient":{}} which means there is nothing updated (although it is acknowledged). the response should be something like this:
{
"persistent" : {},
"transient" : {"discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes" : "2"}
}
I'm following this tutorial.
I start with installing attachment-mapper (replaced their link with latest version).
bin/plugin -install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/2.4.1
Start new, delete "test" index and then create new one:
curl -X DELETE "localhost:9200/test"
Create index, I presume:
curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/test" -d '{
"settings" : { "index" : { "number_of_shards" : 1, "number_of_replicas" : 0 }}
}'
Then I try to create mapping:
curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/test/attachment/_mapping" -d '{
"attachment" : {
"properties" : {
"file" : {
"type" : "attachment",
"fields" : {
"title" : { "store" : "yes" },
"file" : { "term_vector":"with_positions_offsets", "store":"yes" }
}
}
}
}
}'
Then I get this error:
{
"error" : "NoSuchMethodError[org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.core.TypeParsers.parseMultiField(Lorg/elasticsearch/index/mapper/core/AbstractFieldMapper$Builder;Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/elasticsearch/index/mapper/Mapper$TypeParser$ParserContext;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)V]",
"status" : 500
}
Any idea what's going on?
Could it be a problem with the attachment-mapper plugin installation?
attachment-mapper uses Tika. I've installed Tika, maybe that's installed wrong? How do I check?
Any insight would be helpful.
I had the wrong version of ElasticSearch installed.
For the attachment-mapper plugin I had installed, I needed elasticsearch version 1.4.
Removed old version, installed new version, installed attachment-mapper plugin, started service, and ran through tutorial again and it worked.
I cannot seem to get the has_child query (or filter) to function in Kibana 4. My code works in elasticsearch directly as a curl script, but not in Kibana 4, yet I understood this was a key feature of the upgrade. Can anybody shed any light?
The curl script as follows works in elasticsearch, returning all of the parents where they have a child object:
curl -XPOST localhost:port/indexname/_search?pretty -d '{
"query" : {
"has_child" : {
"type" : "object",
"query" : {
"match_all" : {}
}
}
}
}'
The above runs fine. Then to convert it to the JSON query to submit within Kibana, I've followed the general formatting rules: I've dropped the curl line and added the index name (and sometimes a blank filter [], but it doesn't seem to make much difference); no error is thrown but the whole dataset returns.
{
"index" : "indexname",
"query" : {
"has_child" : {
"type" : "object",
"query" : {
"match_all" : {}
}
}
}
}
Am I missing something? Has anybody else got a has_child query to run in Kibana 4?
Many thanks in advance

I know one can delete all documents from a certain type via deleteByQuery.
Example:
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_query' -d '{
"query" : {
"term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
}
}'
But i have NO term and simply want to delete all documents from that type, no matter what term. What is best practice to achieve this? Empty term does not work.
Link to deleteByQuery
I believe if you combine the delete by query with a match all it should do what you are looking for, something like this (using your example):
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_query' -d '{
"query" : {
"match_all" : {}
}
}'
Or you could just delete the type:
curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet
Note: XDELETE is deprecated for later versions of ElasticSearch
The Delete-By-Query plugin has been removed in favor of a new Delete By Query API implementation in core. Read here
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_delete_by_query?conflicts=proceed&pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"query": {
"match_all": {}
}
}'
From ElasticSearch 5.x, delete_by_query API is there by default
POST: http://localhost:9200/index/type/_delete_by_query
{
"query": {
"match_all": {}
}
}
You can delete documents from type with following query:
POST /index/type/_delete_by_query
{
"query" : {
"match_all" : {}
}
}
I tested this query in Kibana and Elastic 5.5.2
Torsten Engelbrecht's comment in John Petrones answer expanded:
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet/_query' -d
'{
"query":
{
"match_all": {}
}
}'
(I did not want to edit John's reply, since it got upvotes and is set as answer, and I might have introduced an error)
Starting from Elasticsearch 2.x delete is not anymore allowed, since documents remain in the index causing index corruption.
Since ElasticSearch 7.x, delete-by-query plugin was removed in favor of new Delete By Query API.
The curl option:
curl -X POST "localhost:9200/my-index/_delete_by_query" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "query": { "match_all":{} } } '
Or in Kibana
POST /my-index/_delete_by_query
{
"query": {
"match_all":{}
}
}
The above answers no longer work with ES 6.2.2 because of Strict Content-Type Checking for Elasticsearch REST Requests. The curl command which I ended up using is this:
curl -H'Content-Type: application/json' -XPOST 'localhost:9200/yourindex/_doc/_delete_by_query?conflicts=proceed' -d' { "query": { "match_all": {} }}'
In Kibana Console:
POST calls-xin-test-2/_delete_by_query
{
"query": {
"match_all": {}
}
}

The second part of John Petrone's answer works - no query needed. It will delete the type and all documents contained in that type, but that can just be re-created whenever you index a new document to that type.
Just to clarify:
$ curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet'
Note: this does delete the mapping! But as mentioned before, it can be easily re-mapped by creating a new document.
Note for ES2+
Starting with ES 1.5.3 the delete-by-query API is deprecated, and is completely removed since ES 2.0
Instead of the API, the Delete By Query is now a plugin.
In order to use the Delete By Query plugin you must install the plugin on all nodes of the cluster:
sudo bin/plugin install delete-by-query
All of the nodes must be restarted after the installation.
The usage of the plugin is the same as the old API. You don't need to change anything in your queries - this plugin will just make them work.
*For complete information regarding WHY the API was removed you can read more here.
You have these alternatives:
1) Delete a whole index:
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/indexName'
example:
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/mentorz'
For more details you can find here -https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-delete-index.html
2) Delete by Query to those that match:
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/mentorz/users/_query' -d
'{
"query":
{
"match_all": {}
}
}'
*Here mentorz is an index name and users is a type
I'm using elasticsearch 7.5 and when I use
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/materials/_delete_by_query?conflicts=proceed&pretty' -d'
{
"query": {
"match_all": {}
}
}'
which will throw below error.
{
"error" : "Content-Type header [application/x-www-form-urlencoded] is not supported",
"status" : 406
}
I also need to add extra -H 'Content-Type: application/json' header in the request to make it works.
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/materials/_delete_by_query?conflicts=proceed&pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"query": {
"match_all": {}
}
}'
{
"took" : 465,
"timed_out" : false,
"total" : 2275,
"deleted" : 2275,
"batches" : 3,
"version_conflicts" : 0,
"noops" : 0,
"retries" : {
"bulk" : 0,
"search" : 0
},
"throttled_millis" : 0,
"requests_per_second" : -1.0,
"throttled_until_millis" : 0,
"failures" : [ ]
}
Just to add couple cents to this.
The "delete_by_query" mentioned at the top is still available as a plugin in elasticsearch 2.x.
Although in the latest upcoming version 5.x it will be replaced by
"delete by query api"
Elasticsearch 2.3 the option
action.destructive_requires_name: true
in elasticsearch.yml do the trip
curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/twitter/tweet
For future readers:
in Elasticsearch 7.x there's effectively one type per index - types are hidden
you can delete by query, but if you want remove everything you'll be much better off removing and re-creating the index. That's because deletes are only soft deletes under the hood, until the trigger Lucene segment merges*, which can be expensive if the index is large. Meanwhile, removing an index is almost instant: remove some files on disk and a reference in the cluster state.
* The video/slides are about Solr, but things work exactly the same in Elasticsearch, this is Lucene-level functionality.
If you want to delete document according to a date.
You can use kibana console (v.6.1.2)
POST index_name/_delete_by_query
{
"query" : {
"range" : {
"sendDate" : {
"lte" : "2018-03-06"
}
}
}
}
