Hi, I am trying to setup curator for my elastic cluster which is running on version 6.3. I have installed curator 5.5.4. Curator yaml : ```auto --- client: hosts: - ["node-1", "node-2", "node-3"] port: 9200 url_prefix: use_ssl: False certificate: client_cert: client_key: ssl_no_validate: False http_auth: timeout: 30 master_only: False username: elastic password: admin logging: loglevel: INFO logfile: logformat: default blacklist: [] ``` While running curator with above configuration I am getting following errors: [root@ELK-Setup-01 curator-test]# curator ./delete\_indices.yaml --config curator.yaml --dry-run No handlers could be found for logger "curator.validators.SchemaCheck" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/curator", line 11, in sys.exit(cli()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 722, in **call** return self.main(\*args, \*\*kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 697, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 895, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, \*\*ctx.params) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 535, in invoke return callback(\*args, \*\*kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/curator/cli.py", line 213, in cli run(config, action\_file, dry\_run) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/curator/cli.py", line 106, in run client\_args = process\_config(config) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/curator/config\_utils.py", line 37, in process\_config config = test\_config(yaml\_file) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/curator/config\_utils.py", line 20, in test\_config 'Client Configuration', 'full configuration dictionary').result() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/curator/validators/schemacheck.py", line 69, in result self.test\_what, self.location, self.badvalue, self.error) curator.exceptions.ConfigurationError: Configuration: Client Configuration: Location: full configuration dictionary: Bad Value: "{'username': 'elastic', 'hosts': [['node-1', 'node-2', 'node-3']], 'timeout': 30, 'use\_ssl': False, 'password': 'admin', 'master\_only': False, 'port': 9200, 'ssl\_no\_validate': False}", extra keys not allowed @ data['client']['username']. Check configuration file. Is curator supports elastic stack with x-pack? Is I am missing anything? ---

I can't tell if your YAML is properly formatted. Please encapsulate pasted console output and config files inside triple back ticks, like this: ```` ``` PASTED DATA ``` ```` Based on the error, I think something is misconfigured. ---

Thank you @theuntergeek for suggesting format. I have edited my post. Apart from this I have question about Is curator support for x-pack or elastic cluster? Can you please provide the relevant article/document if any. Thank you. ---

> [@tushar\_raut](#): > > ```auto > hosts: > - ["node-1", "node-2", "node-3"] > > ``` This syntax is incorrect. You are mixing multiple array syntaxes. It should be one of: ```auto hosts: ["node-1", "node-2", "node-3"] ``` or ```auto hosts: - "node-1" - "node-2" - "node-3" ``` (also note that I indented 2 spaces, rather than 1 for the second example). See the [official YAML sequence documentation](http://yaml.org/spec/1.0/#type-seq) for more information. ---

From the error msg > curator.exceptions.ConfigurationError: Configuration: Client Configuration: Location: full configuration dictionary: Bad Value: "{'username': 'elastic', 'hosts': ['node-1', 'node-2', 'node-3'], 'timeout': 30, 'use\_ssl': False, 'password': 'admin@123', 'master\_only': False, 'port': 9200, 'ssl\_no\_validate': False}", extra keys not allowed @ data['client']['username']. Check configuration file. Seems username field does not have support in curator. ---

That's what the `http_auth` field is for: ```auto http_auth: "username:password" ``` This is being addressed in the next release of Curator, though. ---

@theuntergeek, Got it. It is working now, somehow I missed this field. Thank you. ---
