Hi,

We are using the curator job to move the data from hot to warm node.It works fine for daily indices and we are using the below parameters.

```
  timestring: '%Y.%m.%d'
  unit: days
  unit_count: 4

```

Getting the below error while moving monthly data.I am using the below action.yml file to move 2 month old data from hot to warm node.

```
action: allocation
options:
  key: box_type
  value: warm
  allocation_type: require
  timeout_override: 21600
  ignore_empty_list: True
  wait_for_completion: True
  continue_if_exception: false
  disable_action: false
filters:
- filtertype: age
  source: name
  direction: older
  timestring: '%Y.%m'
  unit: months
  unit_count: 2

```

Index naming convention is like \<index\_name\>-prod-2019.01,abc-tier-prod-2019.01...Please suggest any changes that to be done so it can move the monthly data from hot to warm node.
