Curator

Have indices in Elasticsearch? This is the tool for you!

Like a museum curator manages the exhibits and collections on display, Elasticsearch Curator helps you curate, or manage your indices.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Curator is breaking into version dependent releases. Curator 6.x will work with Elasticsearch 6.x, Curator 7.x will work with Elasticsearch 7.x, and when it is released, Curator 8.x will work with Elasticsearch 8.x.

Watch this space for updates when that is coming.

Additional support for Elasticsearch 7.14.0 - 7.17.x

Starting with Curator 8.0.18, Curator 8 can execute against Elasticsearch versions 7.14.0 - 7.17.x in addition to all versions of Elasticsearch 8.x.

New Client Configuration

Curator now connects using the es_client Python module. This separation makes it much easier to update the client connection portion separate from Curator. It is largely derived from the original Curator client configuration, but with important updates.

The updated configuration file structure requires elasticsearch at the root level::

Action File Configuration

Action file structure is unchanged, for now. A few actions may have had the options modified a bit.
