Delete similarly named indexes from elasticsearch Head Plugin

Question

I want to execute a curl request from the elasticsearch head plugin in order to delete all the similarly named indexes. I am using the following command but getting an error.

Answer 1

The _search endpoint doesn't support the HTTP DELETE method.

Do this instead:

1. In the location field, set parkingapi-farhad-*
2. Select the DELETE method
3. Click the "Request" button

You can also do it using a simple curl:

curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9500/parkingapi-farhad-*
