Curator 5.4.1 exits gracefully but does nothing

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I have just installed curator 5.4.1 on a CentOS 7 machine to access an Elasticsearch 5.6 instance.
The install seems okay

$curator --version
curator, version 5.4.1

but curator always exits gracefully with an exit status 0 without doing anything. Same thing for curator_cli.

The behavior is always the same even if I only put garbage the configuration file.

$curator action.yml
$echo $?
0

Any insight will be appreciated.

Curious. I tested the package on a CentOS 7 machine, and it works for me:

[buh@centos7-pkg-test curator_packages]$ cat /etc/redhat-release

[buh@centos7-pkg-test curator_packages]$ curator --version
curator, version 5.4.1
[buh@centos7-pkg-test curator_packages]$ curator --dry-run --config curator.yml open-test.yml

Thanks for your help.

[admin_kering@kgxch1delk01 ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)
[admin_kering@kgxch1delk01 ~]$ curator  --dry-run actions.yml
[admin_kering@kgxch1delk01 ~]$ echo $?
0
[admin_kering@kgxch1delk01 ~]$

Is there some kind of "magic" debug option I could use to try to understand what's going on?

What's in your ~/.curator/curator.yml file?

Eye-opener :slight_smile: Trying to cut and paste curator.yml onto this board, I've realized there was a spurious non ASCII character at the beginning of the 1st line.
No clue why but the problem is solved anyway.
Thanks again.
