Hi,

curator 2.0.2  
ES 1.3.4  
rhel6

If I run this:

curator --port 9199 alias --prefix logstash- --alias logs  
--unalias-older-than 30

I get some nice messages like:

"Index logstash-2013.12.31 does not exist in alias logs; skipping."

[http://host:9199/\_aliases?pretty](http://host:9199/_aliases?pretty) shows

"logstash-2013.12.31" : {  
"aliases" : {  
"logs" : {}

But [http://host:9199/\_alias/logs](http://host:9199/_alias/logs) does not have logstash-2013.12.31 in there.

So it seems to me that the alias have the index but the index doesn't have  
the alias?

Help =)

// Johan
