- the Kibana API key ("ApiKey <encoded>" or the bare encoded value), or {"api_key": "…"}
- Config it needs
- kibana_url, space_id, owner
- Resolved by
- config.connection_id, else node.connection_id
Configuration
1 field, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ids Identifiers of the cases to delete, as a list or a comma-separated string. | array | Yes | — | ≥ 1 characters; array of string | — |
Output
One shape.
result
| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
deleted True when Elastic accepted the deletion. | boolean | — |
ids The case identifiers that were sent for deletion. | array | — |
count How many identifiers were sent. | number | — |
{
"count": 0,
"deleted": false,
"ids": []
}Notes
- Elastic deletes the whole batch or none of it and answers 204 with no body, so the node reports the ids it sent rather than a per-case outcome.
See Delete Cases run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Elastic Security connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
