Hello friends,
I'm having problems with the storage where elasticsearch is installed... I'm constantly having a full disk. What can I do to delete or clean up old indexes?
Hi @Joao_Malebo
What version are you on?
The problem you describe is exactly what Index Lifecycle Management is for.

How are indices named? indexnam_yyyy.dd perhaps? In that case, you could use curl or job to delete index directly on ES via APIs. This is a workaround.
However, ILM is only solution if you want to be a human. 
The Elasticsearch version is: 8.4.3.
Your link looks good, I'll check it out to be sure.
The indexes are named as follows:
green open .monitoring-kibana-7-2023.01.18
yellow open .ds-metricbeat-8.4.3-2023.01.13-000004
Can you share a script you've already made
