Hi I'm learning how to maintain clean my ES and I found this article today
http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/examples.html The first example is "Delete all indices older than". I've installed curator tool to execute the command: *# curator delete indices --older-than 14 --time-unit days --timestring '%Y.%m.%d'* 2015-05-04 11:50:49,600 INFO Job starting: delete indices 2015-05-04 11:50:49,613 INFO Pruning Kibana-related indices to prevent accidental deletion. 2015-05-04 11:50:50,046 INFO Job completed successfully. then I've checked again my index and the index called "logstash-2015.04.19" have disappeared. So, turns out it really remove all index and the documents but then... What is difference with "close indices"?
