stixes/simple-curator repository overview

⁠Simple elasticsearch curator

This image holds a simple curator for elasticsearch. A first task when deploying a en ELK/ELF stack is to set up simple retention, to avoid bloating the indices quickly.

This image uses bobrik/curator⁠ as base, and adds automated time based cleanup with a retention in days.

Basicly, it sleeps for a bit, then runs the cleanup filter, and a common usecase is to have something like 7 days worth of log retention, and cleanup running daily (This is also the default setup for this image).

This makes this image suitable for docker-compose and cluster deployment, unlike the base image:

curator:
  image: stixes/simple-curator
  links:
    - elasticsearch:elasticsearch
  environment:
    CURATOR_SLEEP_SECS: 86400 # 24h
    CURATOR_INDEX_PATTERN: logstash-*
    CURATOR_RETENTION_DAYS: 5

The image assumes elasticsearch running on default ports.
