Hi, I installed logstash1.4+eleasticsearch1.0.1 and kibana3. Everything is working fine. I want to delte or reste all data and index in certain period time, like two days or 7 days. Is it possible add this time in the run command line or config file? Cheers Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
