  • Before you can delete the transform, you must stop it.

Path parameters

edit
<transform_id>
(Required, string) Identifier for the transform.

Query parameters

edit
force
(Optional, Boolean) When true, the transform is deleted regardless of its current state. The default value is false, meaning that the transform must be stopped before it can be deleted.
delete_dest_index
(Optional, Boolean) When true, the destination index is deleted together with the transform. The default value is false, meaning that the destination index will not be deleted.
timeout
(Optional, time) Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to 30s.

Examples

edit
response = client.transform.delete_transform(
  transform_id: 'ecommerce_transform'
)
puts response
DELETE _transform/ecommerce_transform

When the transform is deleted, you receive the following results:
