Hi,

Let's say I'm submitting snapshot requests with arguments:

"wait\_for\_completion":"true"  
"ignore\_unavailable":"true"  
"include\_global\_state":"false"  
"partial":"true"

Does ES log these arguments I passed? The stats reported by GET \_snapshot/backup/\_all, as shown below, don't include the arguments passed:

"state": "SUCCESS",  
"start\_time": "2016-03-29T05:38:58.181Z",  
"start\_time\_in\_millis": 1459229938181,  
"end\_time": "2016-03-29T05:40:52.411Z",  
"end\_time\_in\_millis": 1459230052411,  
"duration\_in\_millis": 114230,  
"failures": [],  
"shards": {  
"total": 4688,  
"failed": 0,  
"successful": 4688

I'm also not seeing them in the metadata-snapshot file.

Thanks,  
Casie
