Reclose index previously opened

Why can’t I change the status of an index, which was closed and I have previously opened, to closed?
I only have the options “Recalculate index range” and “Delete index”.

I have a single graylog node, with version 6.0.3

thanks

Hey @pagudo,

Can you see the ‘disabled_retention_strategies’ option within your /etc/graylog/server/server.conf?

Hello, thank you for your reply and interest

I have done some tests with that parameter and the only effect I have noticed in the UI is in the “Index Set Defaults Configuration” section (System>Configurations>Index Set Defaults>Edit configuration> field Select rotation strategy)

Currently the variable “disabled_retention_strategies” is commented.

root@xxxx:/# cat /etc/graylog/server/server.conf | grep disabled_retention_strategies
# disabled_retention_strategies =

Set the variable like this, in “Index Set Defaults Configuration” I have available “Delete Index”, “Close Index”, “Do nothing”.

Any combination of the disabled_retention_strategies values has no effect on the actions that can be exercised on a particular index.

Thanks

@pagudo It does seem like the option has been removed. In the meantime indices can be closed as below.

curl -XPOST 192.168.69.3:9200/graylog_48/_close

Can I ask what the use case was for closing, was it part of a self implemented archiving system?
