How to remove unwanted records

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I want to delete all records containing Project:cfa_uk and env:tst from my ElasticSearch indexes.

I created this son data file:

{
    "query": {
        "query_string" : {
            "fields" : ["project", "env"],
            "query" : "cfa_uk AND tst"
        }
    }
}

`
And executed

curl -d "@data.txt" --user 'ukadmin:XXXXXXX' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://kibana.maxown.com/logstream-2020-06-14/_delete_by_query

But I get a 400:

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"No endpoint or operation is available at [_delete_by_query]"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"No endpoint or operation is available at [_delete_by_query]"},"status":400}

I think this is because I am using the wrong URL.

Please could someone explain where I have made a mistake?

TIA

I think you should use POST instead of GET
