Elasticsearch enrich index

[Slim_Saddem]

Hi everyone!

I use enrich policy to enrich indexes with data from another indexes.

Link Documentation : Enrich your data | Elasticsearch Guide [7.16] | Elastic

its works fine, but my problem is Elasticsearch doesn't remove old enrichment indexes.

When i execute for example :

GET .enrich-users_policy/_search

"hits" : [
{
"_index" : ".enrich-users_policy-13441414",
*****
},
{
"_index" : ".enrich-users_policy-744",
*****
},
{
"_index" : ".enrich-users_policy-7474747",
*****
},

knowing that i execute the policy each 15 minutes.

Elasticsearch do not delete automatically old enrichment indexes ?

I have to delete it manually ?

Thanks

Hi @Slim_Saddem Welcome to the community.

Per the docs

Execute enrich policy API | Elasticsearch Guide [7.16] | Elastic

Instead, update your source indices and execute the enrich policy again. This creates a new enrich index from your updated source indices. The previous enrich index will deleted with a delayed maintenance job. By default this is done every 15 minutes.
