Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello I am learning Elasticstack, greate tools!

Are there any good way to use “curator” to delete old data
on Elasticstack 6.2.4.

  • Whats happens

I Install Elasticstack 6.2.4 with apt-get on Debian 9, work well!
Then “apt-get install elasticsearch-curator“ and
try to delete old data.

curator --dry-run ~/.curator/action.yml

curator ~/.curator/action.yml

But I got error as followings, similar to #1089, #1186 at GitHub-elastic/curator.

I read following article, etc.

Then, replace "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/curator/utils.py" to
“https://github.com/elastic/curator/blob/master/curator/utils.py",
but got similar error.

Though, I am not good at programming, I comment out in
“utils.py” like this, and “curator“ work OK for now.

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/curator/utils.py

691     #if version_number >= settings.version_max() \
692     #    or version_number < settings.version_min():

694     #        'Elasticsearch version {0} incompatible '
695     #        'with this version of Curator '
696     #        '({1})'.format(".".join(map(str,version_number)), __version__)
697     #    )
698     #    raise CuratorException(
699     #        'Elasticsearch version {0} incompatible '
700     #        'with this version of Curator '
701     #        '({1})'.format(".".join(map(str,version_number)), __version__)
702     #    )

Are there any good way to use “curator” to delete old data
on Elasticstack 6.2.4?, thank you.

PS.
This dose not happen on Elastic Stack 5.0.2.

This is surely the wrong version of curator without adding the Debian 9 repository for Curator.

In fact, I see in the logs:

load_entry_point('elasticsearch-curator==4.2.5'

You will see this if you run curator --version

The current release of Curator is 5.5.1.

Thank you very match for reply.

curator --version
curator, version 4.2.5

Old version is used ... stuck a while, and read "Debian 9 repository"

Now, Curator work OK, thank you!

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/curator.list <- add this file !

apt-get update
apt-get install elasticsearch-curator -y
