I'm having an odd issue. I'm currently working to have our our elasticsearch index snapshot indices to Azure for backup purposes. I have this working in our development and pre-production environments but our production environment is fighting me.

Elasticesarch 6.8.6  
plugin version 7.2

#Install of plugin  
sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install repository-azure

#Add Values to elasticsearch keystore ( with our values , I even used the --stdin to confirm the input )  
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-keystore add azure.client.default.account  
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-keystore add azure.client.default.access\_key

curl -XPUT "[http://192.168.0.100:9200/\_snapshot/my\_azure\_repository](http://192.168.0.100:9200/_snapshot/my_azure_repository)" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"type": "azure",  
"settings": {  
"container": "containername",  
"compress": true  
}  
}'

When I go to reload the secure settings I receive the message below saying it can't read the values.

If I was to restart the service it would crash on startup. Any thoughts?
