Extra keys not allowed @ data['actions']. Check configuration file when curator start

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello! I try to setup curator to delete old indices, but I receive error extra keys not allowed @ data['actions']. Check configuration file

    No handlers could be found for logger "curator.validators.SchemaCheck"

Check configuration file.

My action.yml is:

    ---
    actions:
      1:
        action: delete_indices
        description: >-
          Delete indices older than 3 days (based on index name).
        options:
          ignore_empty_list: True
          disable_action: False
        filters:
        - filtertype: pattern
          kind: prefix
          value: backend-
        - filtertype: age
          source: creation_date
          direction: older
          unit: days
          unit_count: 3

What can I do to troubleshoot issue?

I don't think it's necessarily your action file with the problem. From the error, it seems that Curator is reading your action file as the client configuration:

Configuration: Client Configuration:

How are you invoking Curator?

Oh, I'm so stupid!
I'm invoking like

curator --config /etc/curator/delete.yml /etc/curator/config.yml --dry-run

But I need to invoke

curator --config /etc/curator/config.yml /etc/curator/close.yml --dry-run
