I had to redo my servers and attached to my offsite storage for snapshots before i removed them. Now that I have cleaned it out they are still showing up in the snapshot list. Is there a way to clear these out of nagios log server?

If you want to delete all the snapshots you need to gran the name of the repository from Admin -> Snapshots & Maintenance in the repository section and then replace
<repository> in the command below and run from the CLI
Note: This will delete all snapshots and is not reversible
Code: Select all
curl -XDELETE localhost:9200/_snapshot/<repository>/*

Can you delete them through the GUI?

I tried that first it just sits there forever and does nothing.

Give this a try:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagioslogserver/scripts/curator.sh delete snapshots--all-snapshots --repository 'REPOSITORY_NAME'

It looked like that errored out as well but it created a bunch of files in the repository. I went in and deleted all those and now my storage snapshots list is clear in the UI. Thank you.

Odd that it would give you an error. If you run into the error again on the new setup please open a new thread and we'll take a look.
