Hi All: I am trying to prevent Marvel from creating the indices for each day automatically. I know there is a curl command to do that. I am not able to find it in any of the documentation that is available. Other than setting it in the config file and have to restart my instance is there a way to do it ? (and can various ES settings be changed the same way ?) Thanks Ramdev -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi Ramdev, Do you want marvel to stop sending data? The best settings is `marvel.agent.enabled: false` but that can only be set in the elasticsearch.yml and requires a node restart. As an alternative you can this (assuming you have a decently recent marvel version): curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/settings)" -d' { "persistent": { "marvel.agent.interval": "-1" } }' This will not disable the agent but stop it from sampling and shipping data.

Hi Boaz: Couldn't I do the same curl command to disable the agent ? or is that setting something that inly recognized on a ES (re)start ?

At the moment the `enabled` option is only read on restart. What I suggest you do is add that setting to all your elasticsearch.yml files and also run the following command curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/settings)" -d' { "transient": { "marvel.agent.interval": "-1" } }' This will make the agent not sample data (and thus effectively be disabled) until you restart the node - at which point the enabled: false setting will be picked up On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 11:01 PM, Ramdev Wudali [agastya71@gmail.com](mailto:agastya71@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi Boaz: > Couldn't I do the same curl command to disable the agent ? or is that > setting something that inly recognized on a ES (re)start ? > > Thanks > > Ramdev > > On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 3:55 PM, Boaz Leskes [b.leskes@gmail.com](mailto:b.leskes@gmail.com) wrote: > > > Hi Ramdev, > > > > Do you want marvel to stop sending data?
