This image will periodically run .
- PERIOD : defines period (in seconds) between runs of curator; default is 86400 seconds (1 day)
- ES_HOST : defines the hostname of the Elasticsearch node to contact; default is master
- DELETE_AGE : defines what age (and older) of indices will be deleted; default is 45
The image comes with basic, but functional, configuration files that utilize
the environment variables above. The actions configuraion will delete indices
that are prefixed with "filebeat-", "logstash-" or "metricbeat-" that are older than
$DELETE_AGE.
The configuration files are:
- /etc/curator/config.yml
- /etc/curator/actions.yml
docker run -it -d --name es-curator -e PERIOD=86400 -e ES_HOST=elasticsearch-host -e DELETE_AGE=45 jogendrajangid/es-curator
You can replace execting configuration file by attachment over the directory using '-v' like.
docker run -it -d --name es-curator -v configpath:/etc/curator -e PERIOD=86400 -e ES_HOST=elasticsearch-host -e DELETE_AGE=45 jogendrajangid/es-curator
Note: We have used sleep $PERIOD in the startup script. Process will be in sleep mode in the container and execute in the $PERIOD interval
