found a [post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/delete-document-in-elastic-in-ingest-based-on-condition/110838/2) regarding that: > Filebeat and ingest pipeline are data ingestion components and they can't be used to delete documents. is there still no workaround to do that?

Thanks a lot! --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/calling-a-pipeline-on-deletion-operations/187116)._
