You need to take the snapshot to networked storage that can be read and written to by all nodes via the same path. Elasticsearch tests this by having one node write a file and another then read it, which seems to be failing in your case. ---

Any documentation to create snapshot using curator and keep it into S3 bucket. ---

@naresh_career399, Yes, you can follow the below link to create snapshot using curator. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/5.4/snapshot.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/5.4/snapshot.html) And you can also use below snapshot template to create snapshot action file. ``` action: snapshot description: >- Snapshot selected indices to 'repository' with the snapshot name or name pattern in 'name'. Use all other options as assigned options: repository: ... #Leaving name blank will result in the default 'curator-%Y%m%d%H%M%S' name: wait_for_completion: True max_wait: 3600 wait_interval: 10 filters: -filtertype: ... ``` And to keep it into s3 bucket use below link: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/6.3/repository-s3.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/6.3/repository-s3.html) Thanks. ---
