Hello,  
Getting the following error when running the curator command:  
`sudo curator --config /etc/elasticsearch/curator.yml /etc/elasticsearch/snapshot_indices.yml`

Oddly when i run the curator command for another action (rollover) - it runs absolutely fine. I copied pasted from that one to create this snapshot\_indices and configured it as below but I keep getting this cryptic error. Any suggestions?:

> 2018-03-08 21:34:01,817 ERROR Schema error: 0

_This is my action file (snapshot\_indices.yml)_

NVM - Figured it out  
Did not add a filter for my indices!
