Hi Team,  
I have 22 nodes in my cluster and i have written a batch program to take snapshot and delete 30 days older indexes. The batch program is preparing "curl -XDELETE" and executing it from Master node.

I can see index directories got delete from master node ($ESHOME/node/0/indices/topbeat-2016.09.01) but these index directories are present in other nodes. I was expecting it should delete and free disk space from all nodes.

Am i missing any configuration here?

Thanks & Regards,

Please ignore.

It is delete directories from other nodes. I checked on client node and assumed that.

Why not use [Elasticsearch Curator](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/index.html)?
