As I am running out of my disk space, I want to remove all the indices from the node. Note that I have just one node, and I am running the elastic server on my local machine.
Basically, when I start the elastic server, it fails with the following log -
[2020-12-13T22:06:51,839][WARN ][o.e.c.r.a.DiskThresholdMonitor] [sedna] flood stage disk watermark [95%] exceeded on [k7t835EJQ6KzPu-7a-aW8Q][sedna][/home/ssahoo/elasticsearch-7.10.0/data/nodes/0] free: 879mb[0.8%], all indices on this node will be marked read-only
While on the terminal I get the following error -
Could not rename log file 'logs/gc.log' to 'logs/gc.log.05' (Reserved).

Therefore I want to free up space by removing all the indices, and therefore the node. So how can I remove the single node that I have?
Or if may I ask what would your suggestion be to overcome this? I can't afford additional disk space and is my major constraint.
Thank you.
I want to remove all the indices from the node
In order to remove all indices from a node, get the list of indices and then call delete on each.
E.g.
for i in $(curl -s -u user:password -XGET "<your_es_host_name>:9200/_cat/indices?s=index&h=index"); do echo "deleting Index --> $i"; curl -s -u user:password -XDELETE "< your_es_host_name>:9200/$i"; done
This will delete all your indices. If you want to exclude certain indices, you can modify the code to exclude indices like "<your_es_host_name>:9200/_cat/indices?s=index&h=index | grep -v exclude_index".
Hope this helps.
