stack es delete cli command

elastic stack es delete --id <id> --index <index> [options]

Delete a document.

Behaviour flags:

--dry-run — validate all inputs and exit without performing any action

--id string required

A unique identifier for the document.

--index string required

The name of the target index.

--if-primary-term number

Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.

--if-seq-no number

Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.

--refresh enum

If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search. If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search. If false, it does nothing with refreshes.

Values: true, false, wait_for

--routing string

A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard. Not allowed when index.slice.enabled is true for the target index; use _slice instead.

Repeatable: pass --routing multiple times to supply more than one value

--timeout string

The period to wait for active shards. This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the delete operation might not be available when the delete operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a store or undergoing relocation. By default, the delete operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for up to 1 minute before failing and responding with an error.

--version number

An explicit version number for concurrency control. It must match the current version of the document for the request to succeed.

--version-type enum

The version type.

Values: internal, external, external_gte

--wait-for-active-shards string

The minimum number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation. You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1). The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.

--error-trace

When set to true Elasticsearch will include the full stack trace of errors when they occur.

--filter-path string

Comma-separated list of filters in dot notation which reduce the response returned by Elasticsearch.

Repeatable: pass --filter-path multiple times to supply more than one value

--human

When set to true will return statistics in a format suitable for humans. For example "exists_time": "1h" for humans and "exists_time_in_millis": 3600000 for computers. When disabled the human readable values will be omitted. This makes sense for responses being consumed only by machines.

--pretty

If set to true the returned JSON will be "pretty-formatted". Only use this option for debugging only.

--input-file string

path to a JSON file to use as command input

--dry-run

validate all inputs and exit without performing any action (preview changes without applying them)

--no-validate

skip input validation and send the request as-is

--yes

confirm destructive action without prompting

--output-fields string

comma-separated list of fields to include in output (dot-notation supported)

--output-template string

Mustache-like template for custom text output (e.g. "{{id}}: {{name}}")

--json

output as JSON
