Hi,  
I have created curator and deleting indices on multi-domain but it getting failed. Error:  
curator --config curator.yml delete\_indices.yml

```auto

```

**curator.yml**

```auto
    ---
    # Remember, leave a key empty if there is no value. None will be a string,
    # not a Python "NoneType"
    client:
      hosts:
        - api-dev.ops.io
        - api-staging.ops.io
        - api-prod.ops.io

    logging:

      blacklist: ['elasticsearch', 'urllib3']

```

**delete\_indices.yml**

```auto
    ---
    actions:
      1:
        action: delete_indices
        description: >-
          Delete indices older than 30 days based on index name
        options:
           ignore_empty_list: True
           disable_action: False
        filters:
        - filtertype: pattern
          kind: regex
          value: '(api|client-api|call-svc|bank-svc)-*'
        - filtertype: age
          source: name
          direction: older
          timestring: '%Y-%m-%d'
          unit: days
          unit_count: '15'

```

While with one domain is working fine. I am using aws elasticsearch.

This use case has never been supported. Multiple hosts is only supported within the same cluster as a round-robin or fail-over tactic. You must run an instance of Curator per cluster.
