Hi, I know I filebeat in my security onion so-status. I am using windows 10. The events get into my kibana, even when i so-elastic-clear and so-nsm-clear. How can I clear filebeat so kibana is completely empty?

thanks for any help, adive or suggestions

Depends what version you are on, but you can do something like `DELETE filebeat*` in Kibana's Console (or convert that to curl).

I am not sure how security onion does things though sorry.
