Here is the query that finally got me some results: curl XGET 'httpd://192.168.1.72:9200/logstash-2015.05.01/_search?q=message:'Error in the RPC receive'' This gives me the information I wanted to confirm before I deleted. { "took": 1990, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 5, "successful": 5, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 123503, "max_score": 2.8327804, "hits": [ { ...foo... When I switch this to this command (curl XDELETE 'httpd://192.168.1.72:9200/logstash-2015.05.01/_search?q=message:'Error in the RPC receive''), The other node in the cluster has an issue: { "error": "RemoteTransportException[[es-logstash-n2][inet[/192.168.1.80:9301]][indices:admin/mapping/delete]]; nested: TypeMissingException[[_all] type[[_search]] missing: No index has the type.]; ", "status": 404 } On Friday, May 8, 2015 at 9:38:31 AM UTC-5, Allan Mitchell wrote: > > Hi > > Then it definitely sounds like delete_by_query is your friend here. > Follow the link I sent earlier.
