python - Failed to filter and delete old indices of elasticsearch using curator python API

Question

I'm trying to use curator python API to periodically delete old logs in elasticsearch. In my code output, it seems I can't filter the indices I want which stuck me several days. Anyone can help to have a look if I have done anything wrong? I used elasticsearch-curator version 5.4.1 and tested elasticsearch 5.5 on EC2, aws elasticsearch 5.5 and aws elasticsearch 6.0 and the results are the same.

Following is my code:

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
import elasticsearch
import curator

def handler():
  client = elasticsearch.Elasticsearch(['http://XX.153.17.133:9200'])
  ilo = curator.IndexList(client)
  print ilo.all_indices
  print ilo.filter_by_regex(kind='prefix', value='mov')
  print ilo.filter_by_age(source='creation_date', direction='older', unit='seconds', unit_count=2)
  #delete_indices = curator.DeleteIndices(ilo)
  #delete_indices.do_action()
  return

handler()

And following is the output:

/Users/junyu/PycharmProjects/es-curator/bin/python 
/Users/junyu/PycharmProjects/es-curator/es-curator.py
[u'movie']
None
None

Process finished with exit code 0

Thank you in advance!

print ilo.filter*如果您设置了日志记录，您只会看到您的线路的输出。

如果您想查看过滤器后剩余的索引，请尝试print ilo.indices，因为这是工作列表。
