Hi, We have setup elasticsearch + logstash. The log stash collects data from various firewalls/Linux servers etc. I do not need firewall's info logs older than 7 days, but still need logs above that (critical, warning etc). Is there any way that I can delete specific in logs from the index or say logs of specific host(firewall/Server) from the indexes Regards Prasad Lele -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
