Curator 2.0 fails

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

guys,

I've installed elasticsearch-curator 2.0, and it's unusable!

I used the recommended install command that I found here:

ES Curator Docs

[root@logs:~] #pip install elasticsearch-curator==2.0.0
Collecting elasticsearch-curator==2.0.0
  Using cached elasticsearch-curator-2.0.0.tar.gz

Installing collected packages: elasticsearch-curator
  Running setup.py install for elasticsearch-curator

But when I try to show indices, I get this!!

#curator show --show-indices

elasticsearch.exceptions.AuthenticationException: TransportError(401, u'security_exception')

What's broken? How do I fix this?

You should be using Curator 3.4.0, which is what the documentation linked is referencing. 2.0 is very old, and before a major API change, which is reflected in the docs you linked.

Ahhh! Thanks Aaron! I guess I didn't read down far enough into that page.

Working just fine at this point:

root@logs:~] #curator --http_auth admin:$ES_PASS show indices  --all-indices

I appreciate the input!

Also, I hate to bring this up, but I am still stuck with a bigger issue of getting LS to write to ES+Shield, using ES 2.0. I had this working fine under ES 1.7.1. But since the upgrade, no joy! Also, LS works beautifully minus shield! But I don't want to leave my ES cluster exposed.

Could I get your input on this issue?

LS fails to write to ES + Shield

Thanks!
