Hi I'm trying to disable DELETE API option from sense or via HTTP and was not able to do it . My requirement is make DELETE API not available so that user will not accidentally delete any index . I tried the following in .yml file and restarted the server ,but still i'm able to DELETE any index .Is there something i'm missing ?

Hi, Elasticsearch currently does not allow you to enable/disable specific HTTP methods. If you need that kind of security, please use a nginx or another webserver in front of Elasticsearch which does this. --Alex On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 4:50 PM, Vijay Dodla [vijay.remedy@gmail.com](mailto:vijay.remedy@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi > I'm trying to disable DELETE API option from sense or via HTTP and was not > able to do it .

Thanks Alexander . Not sure why we have setting in .yml file for Access-Control-Allow-Methods: OPTIONS, POST, GET, PUT . This raises question on the configuration usage .

Hey, CORS is not about doing anything secure from a data point of view, but about telling the browser how to behave. Does not have any impact on the elasticsearch side.
