This is the action file I have set up:
actions:
1:
action: delete_indices
description: >-
Delete indices older than 3 hours. 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: pattern
kind: suffix
value: varnishfront
exclude:
- filtertype: age
source: name
direction: older
timestring: '%Y-%m-%d-%H'
unit: hours
unit_count: 3
exclude:
I wanted to know where does curator get the current "%Y-%m-%d-%H" to compare on what to delete and what not to.
