Summary

edit

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

As a part of index selection or snapshot selection you can filter indices or snapshots --older-than or --newer-than a given point in time. The --time-unit flag is required when using --older-than or --newer-than to help determine how many days, hours, weeks, and months. The value you provide to --older-than or --newer-than will be multiplied by the --time-unit: 5 days, 3 hours, etc. A --timestring is also required in order for Curator to recognize the date pattern in your index or snapshot names.
