Delete by Query - Is there a way to get the ids of the deleted documents?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am using the Delete by Query API to delete documents from an index. In the response, I can only see the number of documents that have been deleted. How can I get the ids of the documents that were deleted?

Using Elasticsearch 6.2.2.

I don't think you can.

But you can manually reproduce what elasticsearch is doing behind the scene on the client side.

Do a scroll search and bulk the delete operations.
