It is not clear what you are asking for. For someone to be able to provide a response I think you will need to elaborate on the question and provide more background and context around what you are looking to achieve. ---

Hi Christian, In our present project we implemented the Elasticsearch and kibana, and we are able to see analytics data and all for all APIs which are running . But now i want to exclude ( remove) one api analytics from the index . How can we achieve this through filtering or during the offloading, is there any way to do this ---

@sahithi From reading your requirement I understand that you are ingesting some data into Elasticsearch but there is some data you wish to exclude based on a condition. There are a few ways this can be accomplished depending on how you are ingesting your data: - Logstash - use the [drop filter plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-drop.html) in your logstash.conf configuration to match on the specific API you wish to discard and Logstash will exclude this event when indexing to Elasticsearch. - Filebeat - there is the [drop events](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/drop-event.html) processor which is similar to the drop filter plugin mentioned above. - Ingest Pipelines - [drop processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/drop-processor.html) processor. Hope this helps! ---
