It is common to only keep observability data for a limited time.
However, Elasticsearch does no 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 indixes 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.
