Options:
  --name TEXT  Alias name

Commands:
  indices  Index selection.

Examples

edit

Add indices to alias_name:

curator alias --name alias_name indices <<index selection parameters>>

There are currently no safety checks to preserve an alias. If you remove the last index from an alias, it will be deleted immediately.
