The Elasticsearch Curator Python API helps you manage your indices and snapshots.
Note
This documentation is for the Elasticsearch Curator Python API. Documentation for the Elasticsearch Curator CLI -- which uses this API and is installed as an entry_point as part of the package -- is available in the Elastic guide.
The Elasticsearch Curator Python API is compatible with Elasticsearch versions 2.x through 5.0, and supports Python versions 2.6 and later.
import elasticsearch
import curator
client = elasticsearch.Elasticsearch()
ilo = curator.IndexList(client)
ilo.filter_by_regex(kind='prefix', value='logstash-')
ilo.filter_by_age(source='name', direction='older', timestring='%Y.%m.%d', unit='days', unit_count=30)
delete_indices = curator.DeleteIndices(ilo)
delete_indices.do_action()
Tip
See more examples in the Examples </examples>
page.
The API methods fall into the following categories:
Object Classes </objectclasses>
build and filter index list or snapshot list objects.Action Classes </actionclasses>
act on object classes.Utilities </utilities>
are helper methods.
The Elasticsearch Curator Python API uses the standard logging library from Python. It inherits two loggers from elasticsearch-py
: elasticsearch
and elasticsearch.trace
. Clients use the elasticsearch
logger to log standard activity, depending on the log level. The elasticsearch.trace
logger logs requests to the server in JSON format as pretty-printed curl
commands that you can execute from the command line. The elasticsearch.trace
logger is not inherited from the base logger and must be activated separately.
