Hello,
How to delete reports ?
Do we have to use elasticsearch delete document into .opendistro-reports-instances?

Is it possible to add a button to make deletion on Kibana UI ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello,
I’m also in the same situation. How I can delete the generated reports? It’s possible to find these reports in some operating system folder?

There is a kinda hacky way to delete reports.
Reports get saved to a hidden index called “.opendistro-reports-instances”. A single report is represented by a single document in this index.

The following query would delete all currently existing reports (use with caution!) and by changing the query to match only your reports you could delete specific ones.

POST .opendistro-reports-instances/_delete_by_query
{
    "query": {
        "match_all": {}
    }
}

The code above can be executed in the DevTools > Console menu or be called using curl as well.

I hope this helps :slight_smile:

I have an error :frowning:

{
  "error": {
    "root_cause": [
      {
        "type": "security_exception",
        "reason": "no permissions for [] and User [name=admin, backend_roles=[admin], requestedTenant=null]"
      }
    ],
    "type": "security_exception",
    "reason": "no permissions for [] and User [name=admin, backend_roles=[admin], requestedTenant=null]"
  },
  "status": 403
}

How can we list all reports in console?
