Hi everybody,

I´m trying the get curator working for me, but I wasn´t successful so far:

Here´s what I´m doing:

curator.config.yml

```
client:
  hosts: ["10.135.0.14"]
  port: 9200
  url_prefix:
  use_ssl: False
  certificate:
  client_cert:
  client_key:
  ssl_no_validate: False
  http_auth:
  timeout: 30
  master_only: False

logging:
  loglevel: DEBUG
  logfile: "/var/log/curator.log"
  logformat: default
# blacklist: ['elasticsearch', 'urllib3']
  blacklist: []

```

./config.d/delete-indices.yml

```
actions:
  1:
    action: delete_indices
    options:
      ignore_empty_list: True
      timeout_override:
      continue_if_exception: False
      disable_action: True
    filters:
    - filtertype: pattern
      kind: prefix
      value: zebralogs-
      exclude:
    - filtertype: age
      source: name
      direction: older
      timestring: '%Y.%m.%d'
      unit: days
      unit_count: 2
      exclude:

```

Example index name: "zebralogs-2017.09.13"

How I call it:

sudo curator --config ./curator-config.yml ./config.d/delete-indices.yml

What happen´s when I call it ?

NOTHING!

Can anybody help me out here ?

This is not going to help.

Also, how was Curator installed? You shouldn't need to run it as root.
