--exclude

Summary

edit

This flag only functions within the scope of index selection or snapshot selection.

Exclude indices or snapshots matching the provided pattern. Multiple items can be excluded by using the --exclude flag multiple times with different patterns.

--exclude patterns will not exclude anything added with the --index flag.

Flags

edit

--exclude A regular expression pattern. This flag can be invoked multiple times.

Examples

edit

Show all indices, excluding indices beginning with log:

curator show indices --exclude '^log.*'

Optimize all indices, excluding indices ending with -prod or -qa:

    curator show indices --exclude '^.*-prod$' --exclude '^.*-qa$'

Delete all snapshots, excluding those with 2015 in the snapshot name. If the default naming pattern is used, with curator-YearMonthDayHourMinuteSecond as the pattern, and the year is 2015, this would effectively delete all 2014 snapshots:

curator delete snapshots --repository REPO_NAME --exclude '^.*2015.*$'
