stack es indices forcemerge cli command

elastic stack es indices forcemerge [options]

Force a merge.

Behaviour flags:

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

--allow-no-indices

A setting that does two separate checks on the index expression. If false, the request returns an error (1) if any wildcard expression (including _all and *) resolves to zero matching indices or (2) if the complete set of resolved indices, aliases or data streams is empty after all expressions are evaluated. If true, index expressions that resolve to no indices are allowed and the request returns an empty result.

--expand-wildcards enum

Whether to expand wildcard expression to concrete indices that are open, closed or both.

Values: all, open, closed, hidden, none

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

--flush

Specify whether the index should be flushed after performing the operation

--ignore-unavailable

If false, the request returns an error if it targets a concrete (non-wildcarded) index, alias, or data stream that is missing, closed, or otherwise unavailable. If true, unavailable concrete targets are silently ignored.

--max-num-segments number

The number of segments the index should be merged into (default: dynamic)

--only-expunge-deletes

Specify whether the operation should only expunge deleted documents

--wait-for-completion

Should the request wait until the force merge is completed

--index string

A comma-separated list of index names; use _all or empty string to perform the operation on all indices

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

--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

--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
