Greetings,  
I am using elastic Stack for the Storing purpose and i have than 140 servers.  
which is preferable way (time based index or other).  
As i am using elasticsearch for storage purpose so as for 140 servers it would be a bit difficult to create time based index so if i am not using the time based indices than how should i delete data from within the time field

A help would be really appreciated

Regards  
Shrikant
