A good blog post on why and how curator.

Installation

Currently this package only supports installing curator via RPMs. These can easily be created by running

fpm -s python -t rpm urllib3
fpm -s python -t rpm elasticsearch
fpm -s python -t rpm elasticsearch-curator

Usage:

Generic curator install

  class { 'curator': }

Schedule a curator job to delete indexes oler than 90 days, close indexes older than 30 days, and disable bloom filters and optimize older than two days.

  curator::job { 'cleanup':
    delete_older    => 90,
    close_older     => 30,
    optimize_older  => 2
    bloom_older     => 2,
  }

Additional tuning and defaults are listed in the job.pp.
