HI,

curator 4.2.6

Action file
---
# Remember, leave a key empty if there is no value.  None will be a string,
# not a Python "NoneType"
#
# Also remember that all examples have 'disable_action' set to True.  If you
# want to use this action as a template, be sure to set this to False after
# copying it.
actions:
  1:
    action: delete_indices
    description: >-
      Delete indices older than 45 days (based on index name), for logstash-
      prefixed indices. Ignore the error if the filter does not result in an
      actionable list of indices (ignore_empty_list) and exit cleanly.
    options:
      ignore_empty_list: True
      timeout_override:
      continue_if_exception: False
      disable_action: False
    filters:
    - filtertype: age
      source: creation_date
      direction: older
      unit: days
      unit_count: 1

When i executed the action file in curator i got an error like this:

hero@5684:~/.curator$ curator --dry-run --config curator.yml delete.yml

May i know why i got this error?

I also tried it by giving
hero@5684:~/.curator$ curator --dry-run --config ~/.curator/curator.yml ~/.curator/delete.yml

Sorry, i didn't closed the comment with # in config file. so that's error ..

i used the command like this
hero@5684:~/.curator$ curator --dry-run --config curator.yml delete.yml

A YAML file must start with --- or the first block mapping element.

Action file
---
# Remember, leave a key empty if there is no value.  None will be a string,
# not a Python "NoneType"
#
# Also remember that all examples have 'disable_action' set to True.  If you
# want to use this action as a template, be sure to set this to False after
# copying it.
actions:

The error here is that the words Action file seem to be at the beginning of your file, instead of --- or actions:.

Either of those is acceptable, so your action file might begin like:

---
actions:
  1:
    action: delete_indices
    # everything else as constituted...
