editThis setting is only used with the pattern
filtertype and is a required setting. There is a separate
value option associated with the
allocation action, and the
allocated filtertype.
The value of this setting is used by kind as follows:
-
prefix
: Search the first part of an index name for the provided value -
suffix
: Search the last part of an index name for the provided value -
regex
: Provide your own regular expression, and Curator will find the matches. -
timestring
: An strftime string to extrapolate and find indices that match. For example, given atimestring
of'%Y.%m.%d'
, matching indices would includelogstash-2016.04.01
and.marvel-2016.04.01
, but notmyindex-2016-04-01
, as the pattern is different.
Whatever you provide for value
is always going to be a part of a
regular expression. The safest practice is to always encapsulate within
single quotes. For example: value: '-suffix'
, or value: 'prefix-'
There is no default value. This setting must be set by the user or an exception will be raised, and execution will halt.
