Using the allocation action in Elasticsearch Curator
action: allocation description: "Apply shard allocation filtering rules to the specified indices" options: key: ... value: ... allocation_type: ... filters: - filtertype: ... Empty values and commented lines will result in the default value, if any, being selected. If a setting is set, but not used by a given action, it will be ignored.
This action changes the shard routing allocation for the selected indices.
See http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.15/shard-allocation-filtering.html for more information.
You can optionally set wait_for_completion to True to have Curator wait for the shard routing to complete before continuing:
action: allocation description: "Apply shard allocation filtering rules to the specified indices" options: key: ... value: ... allocation_type: ... wait_for_completion: True max_wait: 300 wait_interval: 10 filters: - filtertype: ... This configuration will wait for a maximum of 300 seconds for shard routing and reallocation to complete before giving up. A max_wait value of -1 will wait indefinitely. Curator will poll for completion at 10 second intervals, as defined by wait_interval.
