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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/installation.html)
```
[root@logs:~] #pip install elasticsearch-curator==2.0.0
Collecting elasticsearch-curator==2.0.0

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
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise HTTP\_EXCEPTIONS.get(status\_code, TransportError)(status\_code, error\_message, additional\_info)
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:
```

```
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?

Thanks!
