Issue removing index with index.blocks.read_only set to true

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I was trying the settings to block data writes and also metadat writes to
an index applying this:

curl -XPUT 'http://testserver:9200/test_index/_settings' -d '{
"index.blocks.read_only" : "true"
}'

which works fine but now I would like to remove this index and I'm facing
this issue;

{"error":"RemoteTransportException[[lonsl1101844-master][inet[/10.243.1.10:9300]][indices:admin/delete]];
nested: ClusterBlockException[blocked by: [FORBIDDEN/5/index read-only
(api)];]; ","status":403}

I can't change anymore the configuration of the index as metdata writes are
forbidden.

I also now have an issues with my different monitoring tools as they are
using get _settings/_aliases.. request which are forbidden for this index.

Could you please indicate me how I can force the remove of this index or
change its configuration?

Thanks,
Nicolas

Just set that value to false and you should be good to go.

I have the same problem. You can't change the value to false because
metadata udpates are blocked and changing the value is itself a metadata
update!
Is there any way to delete this index now!?

Hi,
If I remuer well the isssue of setting back the read-only setting to false was due to the fact that I was performing a Put instead of a post or the opposite.
Let me know if it help you, if no I will look at some old scripts that I should have kept with this.
