# Delete documents by query — Amazon Elasticsearch

Botize method — `aws_elasticsearch.delete_by_query` (action).

Delete every Elasticsearch document matching a query.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `index` *(string)* — Index
- `body_json` *(string)* — Body JSON
- `conflicts` *(string, one of: "" = Abort; "proceed" = Proceed)* — Conflicts

*(Fields derived from the configuration form.)*

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{_status}}` *(text)* — _status
