Delete indices from AWS managed services(ElasticSearch)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello

I am knew to "Curator". Is there anyone here who know if we can use AWS managed services when deleting elastic search services.

Please take note that I installed "Curator" in an ec2 Instance and the elasticsearch is a managed services. Meaning, there's no specefic IP that can be used.

Thank you in Advance !

I tried to execute in curator which is installed in EC2 instance and the elastic search is a managed service and I got this:

[root@ip-10-182-50-254 bin]# /usr/local/bin/curator --config '/home/ec2-user/Ardel/CONFIG.yml' --dry-run '/home/ec2-user/Ardel/delete_indices.yml'

Does this means that the curator got connected to the AWS ElasticSearch?

That I cannot say. What I can say is that it is connecting to an Elasticsearch service, and the filters found no matching indices to act on, so you got a NoIndices exception. If you run it again with loglevel: DEBUG you'll see a lot more detail which will better answer that question.

Hello Aaron,

I already got it working. Thanks for answer anyways.

BTW. How can I show all the indices in AWS ES using elastic-curator?

If you already have a client configuration, you can run:

curator_cli --config /path/to/config show_indices
