jaegertracing/jaeger-es-index-cleaner repository overview

⁠jaeger-es-index-cleaner

It is common to only keep observability data for a limited time. However, Elasticsearch does not support expiring of old data via TTL. To help with this task, jaeger-es-index-cleaner can be used to purge old Jaeger indices. For example, to delete indices older than 14 days:

docker run -it --rm --net=host -e ROLLOVER=true \
  jaegertracing/jaeger-es-index-cleaner:latest \
  14 \
  http://localhost:9200

Another alternative is to use Elasticsearch Curator⁠.
