Automatically delete old indexes on ElasticCloud

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello, people.

I'm using an ElasticCloud instance.

I was searching for a way to automatically delete old indexes in ES. But the only tool I found is a script called Curator.

Since I'm using an ElasticCloud instance I'd like to have a native way to do deletion, and not rely on an external tool/server.

Is there a native way in ElasticCloud to delete indexes older than a certain date?

Thanks.

Index Lifecycle Management is coming soon.

Thanks, Aaron... so, I understand that the only way by now is Curator or any kind of custom script that uses the ES API, am I right?

That’s correct.
