Hello, I'm trying to write a script the invokes Curator to clean up my indexes after 14 days. If I run the following cli script manually:
./opt/elasticsearch-curator/curator_cli delete_indices --filter_list '[{"filtertype":"age","source":"creation_date","direction":"older","unit":"days","unit_count":14},{"filtertype":"pattern","kind":"prefix","value":"syslog"}]'
It works famously, but if I invoke the same exact command through cron I get the following error:
Click will abort further execution because Python 3 was configured to use ASCII as encoding for the environment. Consult http://click.pocoo.org/python3/for mitigation steps.

When used with Python 3 (and the DEB and RPM packages of Curator are compiled
and bundled with Python 3), Curator requires the locale to be unicode. Any of
the above unicode definitions are acceptable.
To set the locale to be unicode, try:
$ export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
$ curator_cli [ARGS]
Alternately, you should be able to specify the locale on the command-line:
$ LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 curator_cli [ARGS]
Be sure to substitute your unicode variant for en_US.utf8
I've followed the following tutorial:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/faq_unicode.html
which indicates that I needed to change my locale to ut8 (which I've done)

All to no avail.. any help is appreciated
