include_hidden

This option allows Curator to act on indices with the setting hidden: true, which is common with data_streams.

If data_stream backing indices are matched by the search_pattern and/or after the filters, any attempt to delete the active backing index will result in an error code. The only way to delete all of a data_stream is via the data_stream API.

action: delete_indices
description: "Delete the specified indices"
options:
  include_hidden: true
filters:
- filtertype: ...

The value of this setting must be either true or false.

The default value for this setting is false.
