Issue Description
indices detail page --> Administration ---> recommended add delete index function
We're considering it. We may hold off on adding this until we have users/roles/permissions in place. This is a highly destructive operation that allowing any user to do without credentials may be a bad idea.
LOL, I'm new with elastic and I was exactly looking for that. Since I'm running lot of experiments while learning now I have tons of indexes.
Just a hint that may make things easier while you learn... the DELETE call will take a pattern: curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/foo*
LOL again, I just executed that command right now, someone is spying me :
❯ docker-compose exec webphp sh# curl
# curl -XDELETE http://elastic:9200/my_apps_index
You can add checkboxes to an index list and allow deleting indices in batch.
When is this happening?
Not sure but if I remember correctly ElasticHQ has a delete index sometime ago. But can't find it now :-(
What if there were at least a config option to enable delete functionality for now? I'm just running it locally in Docker against a local ES cluster in Docker. I'm more interested in a having a useful GUI for quick actions while developing than worrying about security or accidentally destroying an index. However, I understand the legitimate concern for other situations so a flag that has to be set with an environment variable or config file change would be a perfect solutions until users and permissions exist.
I just find the UI to be confusing. I too am developing something locally and am rebuilding indexes etc. I find it weird that there is a menu item under indicies called Deleted Indicies but then no way to actually delete.
