This cookbook ships with custom resources for install elasticsearch-curator and managing the configuration file:

Custom Resources

elasticsearch_curator_install

Installs elasticsearch-curator. Optionally specifies a version, otherwise the latest available is installed

elasticsearch_curator_install 'curator' do
  install_method node['elasticsearch-curator']['install_method']
  action :install
end

elasticsearch_curator_config

Writes out the elasticsearch-curator configuration file.

elasticsearch_curator_config 'default' do
  config node['elasticsearch-curator']['config']
  action :configure
end

This method also supports a http_auth property to allow passing a string with this format : "username:password". This allows retrieving the credentials from the wrapper cookbook (for example using chef-vault) and not store this sensitive information in the attributes.

elasticsearch_curator_action

This will setup a cron job and create action.yaml file for elasticsearch-curator.

elasticsearch_curator_action 'action' do
  config node['elasticsearch-curator']['action_config']
  minute '0'
  hour '*'
  action :create
end
