Cron+curator+logrotate are not work?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

l made a schedule for delete old logs from elasticsearch.
The command is that 30 0 * * * curator delete indices --time-unit days --timestring '%Y.%m.%d' --older-than 270

but the command doesn't wokr and even the logrotate doesn't work for elasticsearch log

/var/log/elasticsearch/* {
monthly
rotate 12
compress
delaycompress
}

curator version is 3.3.0
python version 2.6.6

So, Curator's current release version is 5.8.3. Python 2.7 has been EOL for over a year (December 31, 2019).

I'm not sure what your environment is, but neither of those is supported anymore. I'm happy to help if you upgrade to recent versions.

how l must to write director for logrotate
/var/log/elasticsearch/*.log.[0-9]?

I have no idea what version of Elasticsearch you are using, and still have no idea which version of Linux you are using (given the extremely outdated version of Python).

Elasticsearch should not be configured to rotate logs via logrotate, but with Elasticsearch's own logging configuration. These instructions are for the most recent release (7.10 at this writing) of Elasticsearch.
