Rollover and deleting indices using curator

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,
I want to rollover and delete indices which are older than 15days using curator 5.4.1

created two configuration files
cat curator.yml
client:
hosts:
- xxxxxxxxxxxxx
port: 9243
url_prefix:
use_ssl: true
certificate:
client_cert:
client_key:
ssl_no_validate: False
http_auth: 'xxxxx:xxxx'
timeout: 30
master_only: False

logging:
loglevel: INFO
logfile: /var/log/curator/curator.log
logformat: default
blacklist: ['elasticsearch', 'urllib3']

cat curator.yml

1:
action: rollover
description: Rollover the index "my_alias" when it is older than 15 days
options:
name: my_alias

max_docs: 2000000

max_age: 15d
disable_action: False
2:
action: delete_indices
description: >-
Delete indices older than 15 days (based on index name),for logstas
h-prefixed indices. Ignore the error if the filter does not result
in an actionable list of indices (ignore_empty_list) and exit clean
ly.
options:
ignore_empty_list: True
disable_action: False
filters:

  • filtertype: pattern
    kind: prefix

    iis-,adallom-,
  • filtertype: age
    source: name
    direction: older
    timestring: '%Y.%m.%d'
    unit: days
    unit_count: 15

I have executed this command below

/usr/bin# curator --dry-run --config /home/munna/.curator/curator.yml /home/munna/.curator/rollover.yml

the execution of the following command is as follows, throwing me these errrors

You must properly encapsulate your pasted YAML file within triple back ticks, or I cannot tell if the formatting (indentation, etc.) is correct. The error you pasted indicates a YAML configuration file error, but I cannot tell where it is because of the formatting.
