Dear Team,
I read lots of topics related to curator but I did not get a proper answer after installation of elasticsearch curator package, where to configure and define 10 days auto deletion code or parameters, I am using elk ver - 6.4.0 , please guide me how to define 10 days period to auto delete index from elastic search.
