false, the request returns an error (1) if any wildcard expression (including_alland*) resolves to zero matching indices or (2) if the complete set of resolved indices, aliases or data streams is empty after all expressions are evaluated. Iftrue, index expressions that resolve to no indices are allowed and the request returns an empty result.-
expand_wildcardsstring ExpandWildcards · default: all Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as
open,hidden.Supported values include:
all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices.

Must be combined withopen,closed, orboth.none: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.
