I'm seeing CrashLoopBackOff error whilst running curator job. Logs state "Failed to verify all nodes have repository access".  
The cron job has been running without problem until the last few days.  
Action file extract is as follows :-  
2:  
action: snapshot  
description: "Snapshot indices to S3 older than one day"  
options:  
repository: s3

All master and data nodes must have the S3 plugin installed, and have write access to the bucket. This step attempts to write to and read from the repository from each node. If one node fails (or times out), you will get that error.

If you know it's working, it could simply be a timeout error. In such case, you can use the [`skip_repo_fs_check`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/curator/5.5/option_skip_fsck.html) option.
