Elastic-Curator Docker Container

Python-Pip Curator https://pypi.python.org/pypi/elasticsearch-curator

INTRO

Use this container to run curator as a docker container. It comes pre-packaged with a default config and action file to delete indices that are older than 7 days. You can configure these settings by passing in the appropriate environment variables.

BUILD

docker build -t elastic-curator .

EXAMPLES

Run, without changing defaults, to hit an elasticsearch host that is local to the elastic-curator container

docker run --rm --net=host elastic-curator -r

Likewise you can dry-run to see what the results would be without actually performing the execution

docker run --rm --net=host elastic-curator --dry-run

Remote elasticsearch host...

docker run --rm -e ES_HOST=your-eshost.domain.com elastic-curator -r
