Hi there,  
am I correct that the latest curatr version does NOT work with ES 8.x., but is limited to / till 7.x?  
Thanks!!

That is correct, see [Version Compatibility | Curator Reference [5.8] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/version-compatibility.html)

You will want to look at using [ILM](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-lifecycle-management.html) as a replacement.
