Curator is a tool from Elastic (the company behind Elasticsearch) to help manage your Elasticsearch cluster. You can create, backup, and delete some indices, Curator helps make this process automated and repeatable. Curator is written in Python, so it is well supported by almost all operating systems. It can easily manage the huge number of logs that are written to the Elasticsearch cluster periodically by deleting them and thus helps you to save the disk space.
You can modify the above es-curator-infra-values.yaml according to the requirements, some modifications are suggested below:
schedule: "45 18 * * *"
represents all the possible numbers for that position
Schedule Cron Job: In the above code, at line number 6, the Cron Job is Scheduled to run at 18:45 PM every day. You can schedule your Cron Job accordingly.
RETAIN_LOGS_IN_DAYS: You can specify how old the logs should be, to get deleted. At line number 14 of the above code, logs-to-retain-in-days specifies the logs that are older than 7 days will be deleted.
