editUsing ignore_empty_list
rather than continue_if_exception
Curator has two general classifications of exceptions: Empty list exceptions,
and everything else. The empty list conditions are curator.exception.NoIndices
and curator.exception.NoSnapshots
. The continue_if_exception
option only
catches conditions other than empty list conditions. In most cases, you will
want to use ignore_empty_list
instead of continue_if_exception
.
So why are there two kinds of exceptions? When Curator 4 was released, the
ability to continue in the event of any exception was covered by the
continue_if_exception
option. However, an empty list is a benign condition.
In fact, it’s expected with brand new clusters, or when new index patterns are
added. The decision was made to split the exceptions, and have a new option
catch the empty lists.
See ignore_empty_list
for more information.
This setting is available in all actions.
action: delete_indices description: "Delete selected indices" options: continue_if_exception: False filters: - filtertype: ...
If continue_if_exception
is set to True
, Curator will attempt to continue on
to the next action, if any, even if an exception is encountered. Curator will
log but ignore the exception that was raised.
The default value for this setting is False
