This project is a fork of https://github.com/elastic/curator. The main motivation behind its creation was the lack of compatibility between elastic/curator and OpenSearch. The original curator worked well with OpenDistro. However, when trying to switch to OpenSearch, we found that elastic/curator does not support OpenSearch.

To ensure compatibility with OpenSearch, we used opensearch-py — a community-driven, Open Source fork of elasticsearch-py.

Curator ships with both an API and a wrapper script (which is actually defined as an entry point). The API allows you to write your own scripts to accomplish similar goals, or even new and different things with the Curator API and the Elasticsearch Python API.

• Curator API: http://curator.readthedocs.io/

• OpenSearch Python API: https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-py/blob/main/USER_GUIDE.md

The Curator CLI Documentation is now a part of the document repository at http://elastic.co/guide.

The Getting Started guide is avaialble at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/current/about.html
