snapshots not deleted since the multiple snapshot bug
Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2018 4:51 am
Hello,
Since we have had the multiple snapshot bug, the old snapshots aren't deleted. They should be deleted after 7 days. There's no error in the elastics search log file.
Using the delete button in de admin GUI, will take a very long time due to the large amount of snapshots. So I decided to run the curator command from the prompt
I decided to delete the snapshots in chuncks of 1 day until I'm back at 7 days, also using a long timeout value, because the default 30 seconds won't cut it. 
. Maybe this is also the reason why the aren't deleted by the maintenance schedule
The reason I'm reporting this is because I noticed that some other people were affected by the multiple snapshot bug as well, so they might also run into this problem.
Greetings...Hans
