I am using curator version 5.8.1. I plan to replace rundeck with curator at my end. I am using curator\_cli to operate. I have **curator.yml** that works for me.

```
---
client:
  hosts:
    - https://###EDITED###.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com
  url_prefix:
  use_ssl: False
  certificate:
  client_cert:
  client_key:
  ssl_no_validate: False
  http_auth:
  timeout: 30
  master_only: False

logging:
  loglevel: DEBUG
  logfile: /home/skarpe/logs/curator/curator.log
  logformat: default
  blacklist: []

```

I have successfully managed to create new index with following **create index 'action.yml'** file.

```
---
actions:
  1:
    action: create_index
    description: Create the index associated with write alias.
    options:
      name: "<conlogtest-{now{YYYY-MM-dd-HH-mm}}>"
      continue_if_exception: True
      disable_action: false
      extra_settings:
        index.number_of_shards: 3
        index.number_of_replicas: 1

```

Now when i tried rollover action i do not get any error but still dont see any new index replacing old one based on condition. Please check the **rollover 'action.yml'** file for rollover operation.

```

actions:
  1:
action: rollover
options:
  name: conlogtest
  new_index: '<conlogtest-{now{YYYY-MM-dd-HH-mm}}>'
  continue_if_exception: True
  conditions:
    max_age: 1m
  extra_settings:
    index.number_of_shards: 3
    index.number_of_replicas: 1

```

Last few lines of logs of rollover operation.

```

Note that in above log "`GET /conlogtest/_alias`" gives me 404. When i check alias for existing index via kibana using "`GET /conlogtest-2020-09-01-08-19/_alias`" i get below result showing alias as 'conlogtest-2020' and not 'conlogtest'  
`{ "conlogtest-2020-09-01-08-19" : { "aliases" : { "conlog-2020" : { } } } }`. I wonder why is it so. But my main question remains why createindex works for me and rollover does not? Please let me know if any additional info required.  
Thanks in advance.
