Set index retention patterns
This article describes how to configure the maximum number of indices to keep in your Aiven for OpenSearch® instance. For more information on OpenSearch® indices and shards, see this article.
To create cleanup patterns for OpenSearch indices:
-
Log in to the Aiven web console and select your service.
-
Select Indexes from the left sidebar.
The Indexes section lists the patterns that are currently in use.
-
Select Add pattern.
-
Enter the pattern that you want to use and the maximum index count for the pattern, then select Create.
Alternatively, you can use our API with a request similar to the following:
curl -X PUT --data '{"user_config":{"index_patterns": [{"pattern": "logs*", "max_index_count": 2},{"pattern":"test.?", "max_index_count": 3}]}' header "content-type: application-json" --header "authorization: aivenv1 <YOUR TOKEN HERE>" https://api.aiven.io/v1beta/project/<project>/service/<service_name>
