Where to set destructive_requires_name

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi All,

I am new to Elasticsearch. I am currently trying to disable delete* and I read in the documentation that in order to do that I need to set destructive_requires_name to true. I wrote the following code using Nest client-

            .Settings(s => s
            .Setting("index.mapping.depth.limit", 22)
            .Setting("action.destructive_requires_name", true)

However got the following error-
unknown setting [index.action.destructive_requires_name] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings

It's obvious from the error that it's not the correct way, but unfortunately I couldn't find how can I set it right. Can anyone please help?

Tia!

This is a setting that goes into elasticsearch.yml

Thanks Thiago! Do I need to recreate indices, in order to apply this setting?

No. This setting is not bound to any index, it works at cluster level. It tells Elasticsearch to only accept explicit names when deleting indices.

Cool. Thank you!
