Automatically closing indices older than 2 days

Hi,

I am trying to add a cron job that will automatically close indices older
than 2 days(to free up RAM,not enough RAM on nodes )

Here is a brief snippet of the script (in $indexName i have extracted the
index name)

curlStr="curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/$indexName/_close'"
curl $curlStr

I get the following error when i run the script:
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host ''localhost'

I know this has to do with my bash scripting abilities and not ES as such
:slight_smile: However, i am hoping to get suggestions on how you might be handling
similar situations? Any solution to the above problem would be nice too :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance,
Shankar

Please ignore the error in the string below, the actual string in the
script doesn't have the extra curl

curlStr="curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/$indexName/_close'"
curl $curlStr

I get the following error when i run the script:

Hello Vicky,

I'm no bash wizard either, but it's definitely the single quotes that
bothers it. Something like this should work:
INDEX="a"
curlstr="-XPOST localhost:9200/$INDEX/_close"
curl $curlstr

Best regards,
Radu

Thanks, that fixed it :slight_smile:
Its strange how it works with the single quotes when run from the command
line (instead of being run from a script)
