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' 2018-04-17 03:43:48,236 INFO Preparing Action ID: 1, "delete\_indices" 2018-04-17 03:43:48,260 INFO Trying Action ID: 1, "delete\_indices": Delete indices older than 45 days (based on index name), for elastic- prefixed indices.

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

> [@ardel](#): > > 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? ---
