Delete pipeline API

Deletes one or more existing ingest pipeline.

resp = client.ingest.delete_pipeline(
    id="my-pipeline-id",
)
print(resp)

response = client.ingest.delete_pipeline(
  id: 'my-pipeline-id'
)
puts response

const response = await client.ingest.deletePipeline({
  id: "my-pipeline-id",
});
console.log(response);

DELETE /_ingest/pipeline/my-pipeline-id

Request

DELETE /_ingest/pipeline/<pipeline>

Prerequisites

If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the manage_pipeline, manage_ingest_pipelines, or manage cluster privilege to use this API.

Path parameters

<pipeline>

(Required, string) Pipeline ID or wildcard expression of pipeline IDs used to limit the request.

To delete all ingest pipelines in a cluster, use a value of *.

Query parameters

master_timeout: (Optional, time units) Period to wait for the master node. If the master node is not available before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to 30s. Can also be set to -1 to indicate that the request should never timeout.
timeout: (Optional, time units) Period to wait for a response from all relevant nodes in the cluster after updating the cluster metadata. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the cluster metadata update still applies but the response will indicate that it was not completely acknowledged. Defaults to 30s. Can also be set to -1 to indicate that the request should never timeout.

Examples

Delete a specific ingest pipeline

resp = client.ingest.delete_pipeline(
    id="pipeline-one",
)
print(resp)

response = client.ingest.delete_pipeline(
  id: 'pipeline-one'
)
puts response

const response = await client.ingest.deletePipeline({
  id: "pipeline-one",
});
console.log(response);

DELETE /_ingest/pipeline/pipeline-one

Delete ingest pipelines using a wildcard expression

resp = client.ingest.delete_pipeline(
    id="pipeline-*",
)
print(resp)

response = client.ingest.delete_pipeline(
  id: 'pipeline-*'
)
puts response

const response = await client.ingest.deletePipeline({
  id: "pipeline-*",
});
console.log(response);

DELETE /_ingest/pipeline/pipeline-*

Delete all ingest pipelines

resp = client.ingest.delete_pipeline(
    id="*",
)
print(resp)

response = client.ingest.delete_pipeline(
  id: '*'
)
puts response

const response = await client.ingest.deletePipeline({
  id: "*",
});
console.log(response);
