Hello, I want to be able to create backup and restore using backup from ceph. I am using elasticsearch 2.0. **To create backup I use these steps:** create repository: curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/ceph\_repository](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/ceph_repository)' -d '{"type": "s3", "settings": { "bucket": "mybucket", "endpoint": "[myendpoint.com](http://myendpoint.com)", "protocol":"http", "access\_key": "my\_access\_key", "secret\_key": "my\_secret\_key", "base\_path": "my/base/path" }}' to create backup curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/ceph\_repository/snap1?wait\_for\_completion=true](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/ceph_repository/snap1?wait_for_completion=true)' which outputs json containing "status":"SUCCESS" and files are created in ceph bucket. **To restore I use these steps:** Delete elastic search data directory and restart elastic search (after restarting cluster health gives "status" : "green"). Create repository using previously used command. Restore using ceph snapshot: curl -XPOST '[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/ceph\_repository/snap1/\_restore](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/ceph_repository/snap1/_restore)' and this gives an error: {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"amazon\_s3\_exception","reason":"null (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidArgument; Request ID: null)"}],"type":"amazon\_s3\_exception","reason":"null (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidArgument; Request ID: null)"},"status":500} **Trying to debug:** curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/\_all](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/_all)' gives: {"ceph\_repository":{"type":"s3","settings":{"bucket":"mybucket","base\_path":"my/base/path","endpoint":"[myendpoint.com](http://myendpoint.com)","protocol":"http"}}} curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/\_status](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/_status)' gives: {"snapshots":[]} curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_snsitory/snap1/\_status](http://localhost:9200/_snsitory/snap1/_status)' gives: {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"amazon\_s3\_exception","reason":"null (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidArgument; Request ID: null)"}],"type":"amazon\_s3\_exception","reason":"null (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidArgument; Request ID: null)"},"status":500} I ommited elasticsearch.yml config since there is no configuration related to cloud-aws plugin. ---

I think it has been fixed in 2.1.0. with this PR: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/13360](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/13360) And this doc: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/cloud-aws-usage.html#cloud-aws-usage-signer](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/cloud-aws-usage.html#cloud-aws-usage-signer) ---

I will try to repeat those actions with latest (2.2) version of elasticsearch. I am curious on how my settings should look like. Currently I do not use any of the cloud-aws plugin settings in my elasticsearch.yml config because of these reasons: cloud.aws - is not used because I do not use any of amazon web services. repositories.s3 - because I don't really know what is the purpose of it (since you still need to create repositories manually). ---

Even after changing version to 2.2 after snapshot is uploaded to ceph command: curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/ceph\_repository/snap1/\_status](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/ceph_repository/snap1/_status)' gives: { "error": { "reason": "null (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidArgument; Request ID: null)", "root\_cause": [ { "reason": "null (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidArgument; Request ID: null)", "type": "amazon\_s3\_exception" } ], "type": "amazon\_s3\_exception" }, "status": 500 } ---

I was missing correct signer type: `"signer": "S3SignerType"` Thanks for help! ---
