You'll want more filters in your `--filter_list` than that. The ones you have will select _all_ indices that have a `YYYY.MM.dd` time string in the name.

This should not match the `.kibana`, or `.kibana-6` indices, however, as they do not contain a date string in the index name. Did you run with the `--dry-run` flag first? You can also run `curator_cli` with `show_indices` instead of `delete_indices` to show which indices the `--filter_list` is selecting.
