Deleting data

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have a very simple graylog2 set up using elasticsearch running
happily

I want to know how to expire data, say logs older than 6 months. The
delete
query api seems to allow delete, but only by type or user, and not by
age?

Could someone kindly point me in the right direction? Thanks.

You should be able to use any query to delete documents?

As I remember you can set ttl to each document. You can find it on
elasticsearch.org pages, currently I can not check where exactly. I will
check it tomorrow if you don't find it till then.
