AWS Elasticache -- How to flush node from console?

I have a number of Elasticache nodes running and would like to clear them. I know it's possible to do this programmatically but I'd like to use the AWS console instead.

How can I flush an Elasticache node using only the AWS console?

The correct answer is - "NO, you can't." There is no way to flush from the AWS console. You have to connect with Redis tools, eg cli, to Redis and then flush.

It's not possible to run from the AWS Console, but you can clear the cache running FLUSHALL connecting using telnet:

telnet HOST PORT

After you connect, run FLUSHALL.

telnet host123.0001.use1.cache.amazonaws.com 6379
Trying 172.0.1.1...
Connected to host123.0001.use1.cache.amazonaws.com.
The escape character is '^]'.
FLUSHALL
+OK
