See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/option\_indices.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/option_indices.html) `indices` must be a list type. Try: ```auto indices: ['mediacontent-2017-02-22'] ``` or ```auto indices: - mediacontent-2017-02-22 ``` ---
