Hi All, I have a working Graylog 0.11.0 + ES system for log management. My requirement is that I want to keep the logs till 30 days and archive/delete data prior to that. Is there a way to achieve this in Elastic Search? I mean without deleting the data/indices manually of course 🙂 Thanks in advance 🙂 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
