Delete Indices older than 30 days

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

So sorry! That's my bad for trying to recall all of the necessary options for the age filtertype off the top of my head.

Add "direction":"older" into the filter, like this:

curator_cli --host 10.240.1.130 show_indices --filter_list '{"filtertype":"age","source":"name","timestring":"%Y.%m.%d","unit":"days","unit_count":30,"direction":"older"}'

or in the yaml file:

---
actions:
  1:
    action: delete_indices
    description: Delete indices with %Y.%m.%d in the name where that date is older than 30 days
    options:
      ignore_empty_list: True
    filters:
      - filtertype: age
        source: name
        timestring: '%Y.%m.%d'
        unit: days
        unit_count: 30
        direction: older
