Deleting old elasticsearch indices Using NestJs

Question

green open ab_namespacename_namespaceid_appName_appId-2019.02.13 5 1 540 0 1.2mb 617kb I have a lot of logs in the format of above, I want to delete the old logs (let say which are older than 5 days) by @timestamp (in the above log (2019.02.13)) range. I have made the query to delete logs by query.

let query = { index: '*', headers: null, body: { query: { filter: { '@timestamp': { 'gte': 'now-5d', }, }, }, }, }; try { results = await this.elasticSearchClient.deleteByQuery(query); console.log('results', results); return results; } catch (e) { throw new LogHubException(e.message, HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND); I have got the below error:

[parsing_exception] no [query] registered for [@timestamp], with { line=1 & col=42 }

NOTE: I am using NestJS to call the elasticsearch api, and using elasticsearch[6.4]. I don't want to use elasticsearch-curator.

You query should look like as below:

{
  "query": {
    "range": {
      "@timestamp": {
        "gte": "now-5d"
      }
    }
  }
}

update the changes accordingly in NestJS code.
