Elasticsearch Curator

Serverless Unavailable Stack

Elasticsearch Curator is a tool that helps you automate and manage index lifecycles, providing advanced control over your Elasticsearch data. While most use cases are now handled by Index lifecycle management (ILM)—included with a Basic license—Curator remains a valuable option for scenarios requiring additional functionality or customization.

  • If ILM provides the functionality to manage your index lifecycle and you have at least a Basic license, use ILM instead of Curator. Many Elastic Stack components use ILM by default.

  • If you're looking for additional functionality for managing your index lifecycle, you can read more in Curator index management about how Elasticsearch Curator can help for your use case.
