Hi All, Sorry for the simple question I have just started looking at Elasticsearch 7.5 and was wondering do you still need to use curator 5.8 to curate, or manage, your Elasticsearch indices and snapshots or can this now be done entirely by the features in Elasticsearch 7.5 Kind Regards Gurdipe

Do you still need curator when using Elasticsearch 7.5

That "need" is entirely subjective. If the features of ILM and SLM meet your needs, then no, you do not need Curator. If, however, your approach to index and snapshot management and retention requires features not yet supported by ILM and SLM, then Curator is still there for you.
