Clear service account token caches API
Evicts a subset of all entries from the service account token caches.
Request
POST /_security/service/{namespace}/{service}/credential/token/{token_name}/_clear_cache
Prerequisites
- To use this API, you must have at least the
manage_securitycluster privilege.
Description
Two, separate caches exist for service account tokens: one cache for tokens backed by the service_tokens file, and another for tokens backed by the .security index. This API clears matching entries from both caches.
The cache for service account tokens backed by the .security index is cleared automatically on state changes of the security index. The cache for tokens backed by the service_tokens file is cleared automatically on file changes.
See Service accounts for more information.
Path parameters
-
namespace - (Required, string) Name of the namespace.
-
service - (Required, string) Name of the service name.
-
token_name - (Required, string) Comma-separated list of token names to evict from the service account token caches. Use a wildcard (
*) to evict all tokens that belong to a service account. Does not support other wildcard patterns.
Examples
The following request clears the service account token cache for the token1 token:
POST /_security/service/elastic/fleet-server/credential/token/token1/_clear_cache
Specify multiple token names as a comma-separated list:
POST /_security/service/elastic/fleet-server/credential/token/token1,token2/_clear_cache
To clear all entries from the service account token caches, use a wildcard (*) in place of token names:
POST /_security/service/elastic/fleet-server/credential/token/*/_clear_cache
