Hi,

We have the elk setup on Elastic Cloud and I have a requirement to delete the indices from a curator.  
The following code is the curator config:  
/\*---  
client:  
hosts: ["[asd321asdsa.ap-northeast-1.aws.found.io](http://asd321asdsa.ap-northeast-1.aws.found.io)" ]  
port: 9254  
use\_ssl: True  
http\_auth: elastic:elastic  
timeout: 1000  
master\_only: False

logging:  
loglevel: INFO  
logfile: C:\logs.log  
logformat: default  
blacklist: ['elasticsearch', 'urllib3']  
\*/

The following code is the action file:  
/\*  
actions:  
1:  
action: delete\_indices  
description: \>-  
Delete indices older than 30 days (based on index name), for navis-apex-ec2amaz-ul066bg-2019.10.\*  
prefixed indices. Ignore the error if the filter does not result in an  
actionable list of indices (ignore\_empty\_list) and exit cleanly.  
options:  
ignore\_empty\_list: True  
timeout\_override:  
continue\_if\_exception: False  
disable\_action: False  
filters:  
- filtertype: pattern  
kind: prefix  
value: ul066bg-2019.10.\*  
exclude:  
- filtertype: age  
source: name  
direction: older  
timestring: '%Y.%m.%d'  
unit: days  
unit\_count: 30  
exclude:  
\*/

The same action file, works fine with a local cluster(localhost) but not with the ElasticCloud service.

The following was the response after running the curator:  
2020-03-06 02:18:41,723 INFO Preparing Action ID: 1, "delete\_indices"

2020-03-06 02:24:18,077 CRITICAL Curator cannot proceed. Exiting.

Note: The host is modified for security reason.

Please assist.

Thanks, Brit

Moved this to elasticsearch as I think it's a more general "how to use a client" question, but it looks like the port you've specified is wrong - it should be either 443 or equivalently 9243

Thanks Alex. You made my day.  
I couldn't believe I made a typo on port.

The port was supposed to be 9243 instead of 9254.
