Hi.

I can not understand the operation in the curator 5.5 command line

# curator_cli --host kvm487 --port 9200 show_indices --verbose
.kibana       open  50.4KB        10   1   1 2017-08-17T08:40:19Z
 excellenting  open  41.0GB  20504001   9   2 2017-10-18T09:57:32Z

I my repository for snaphost (made manually without Curator)

curator_cli --host kvm487 --port 9200 show_snapshots --repository excelle_backup
20180824085231
20180824085459
20180824085528

Try to run curator for make snapshot, and get error.

curator_cli --host kvm487 --port 9200 snapshot --repository excelle_backup --filter_list '[{"filtertype":"age", "source":"name", "direction":"older", "unit":"days", "unit_count":30, "timestring":"%Y.%m.%d"}]'
2018-08-24 12:04:21,010 ERROR     Singleton action failed due to empty ind

ERROR Singleton action failed due to empty index list

I read several tutorials, but are for older versions, and no work with this version.

Best regards

Your index names do not match the timestring in your age filter: %Y.%m.%d. This timestring would work if your index name was 2018.08.24.

A viable timestring for your index names might be %Y%m%d%H%M%S

Well..

I delete old backups

curl -XGET 'kvm487:9200/_snapshot/excelle_backup/_all?pretty=true'
{
  "snapshots" : [ ]
}

But if I use Curator

# curator_cli --host kvm487 --port 9200 show_snapshots --repository excelle_backup
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise exceptions.NoSnapshots('snapshot_list object is empty.')
curator.exceptions.NoSnapshots: snapshot_list object is empty.

And now try run command and fail

# curator_cli --host kvm487 --port 9200 snapshot --repository excelle_backup --filter_list '[{"filtertype":"age", "source":"name", "direction":"older", "unit":"days", "unit_count":30, "timestring":"%Y.%m.%d"}]'
2018-08-24 18:14:15,192 ERROR     Singleton action failed due to empty index list

So, problem is no index name.

What is problem?

Again, your index names don’t match the timestring you provided, so there are no indices to snapshot. That’s what the log is telling you

Thanks. Very confused manual.

For create a snaphost, only need command below.

curator_cli --host kvm487 --port 9200 snapshot --repository excelle_backup --filter_list '{"filtertype":"none"}'

Now, I try to understand manual for create a new snapshot, and after delete olders snapshots than X days.

Best regards.
