Does deleting index in kibana, deletes same index in elastic search too?

Question

i am new to ELK stack internals,

So I want to completely delete the index from Elastic search also, So can this be achieved just from Kibana UI same delete option or should i execute XDELETE from elastic search

Please confirm with your experiences

Yesterday i tried to delete index in kibana ui on dustbin icon, but still i can see good health in elastic search end, thats why

Answer 1

I believe the dustbin icon you refer to is on the Management > Index patterns page. This will only delete the index pattern in Kibana, and will have no effect on the index.

To delete the actual index via Kibana, Use the Dev Tools tab and run DELETE myindex
