Manage system indices with Curator [Elasticsearch 7.14.2]

Elasticsearch version: 7.14.2

Curator version: 5.8.4

Hi, everyone

I have seen a warning message in Curator in which Elasticsearch reports that in a future major version direct access to system indices will be prevented by default. Here you are the message:

/opt/bitnami/python/lib/python3.6/site-packages/elasticsearch/connection/base.py:200: ElasticsearchWarning: this request accesses system indices: [.apm-agent-configuration, .apm-custom-link, .async-search, .kibana_1, .kibana_7.14.2_001, .kibana_task_manager_1, .kibana_task_manager_7.14.2_001, .security-7, .tasks], but in a future major version, direct access to system indices will be prevented by default

Is there any way to allow access to system indices ?

Thanks in advance,

Rodrigo

Note that it says "by default," which implies there will be a flag or setting which will allow direct access.

If such is required, Curator will add it when the time comes.
