Prerequisitesedit

Descriptionedit

Two, separate caches exist for service account tokens: one cache for tokens backed by the service_tokens file, and another for tokens backed by the .security index. This API clears matching entries from both caches.

The cache for service account tokens backed by the .security index is cleared automatically on state changes of the security index. The cache for tokens backed by the service_tokens file is cleared automatically on file changes.

See Service accounts for more information.

Examplesedit

The following request clears the service account token cache for the token1 token:

POST /_security/service/elastic/fleet-server/credential/token/token1/_clear_cache

Specify multiple token names as a comma-separated list:

POST /_security/service/elastic/fleet-server/credential/token/token1,token2/_clear_cache

To clear all entries from the service account token caches, use a wildcard (*) in place of token names:

POST /_security/service/elastic/fleet-server/credential/token/*/_clear_cache
