Not sure what is your version but here is the latest documentation available: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-azure.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-azure.html)

If you still have troubles after reading and following the instructions, please share details like configuration file, all steps you did, the elasticsearch logs, ...

hi,

# ======================== Elasticsearch Configuration =========================

# 

# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.

# Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you

# understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.

# 

# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists

# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.

# 

# Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:

# [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html)

# 

# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------

# 

# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:

# 

#cluster.name: my-application

# 

# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------

# 

# Use a descriptive name for the node:

# 

#node.name: node-1

# 

# Add custom attributes to the node:

# 

#node.attr.rack: r1

# 

# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------

# 

# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):

# 

#path.data: /path/to/data

# 

# Path to log files:

# 

#path.logs: /path/to/logs

# 

# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------

# 

# Lock the memory on startup:

# 

#bootstrap.memory\_lock: true

# 

# Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available

# on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this

# limit.

# 

# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.

# 

# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------

# 

# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):

# 

#network.host: 192.168.0.1

# 

# Set a custom port for HTTP:

# 

# http.port: 9200

# For more information, consult the network module documentation.

# 

# --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------

# 

# Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when this node is started:

# The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]

# 

#discovery.seed\_hosts: ["host1", "host2"]

# 

# Bootstrap the cluster using an initial set of master-eligible nodes:

# 

#cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["node-1", "node-2"]

# 

# For more information, consult the discovery and cluster formation module documentation.

# 

# ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------

# 

# Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:

# 

#gateway.recover\_after\_nodes: 3

# 

# For more information, consult the gateway module documentation.

# 

# ---------------------------------- Various -----------------------------------

# 

# Require explicit names when deleting indices:

# 

#action.destructive\_requires\_name: true

# path.repo: "[https://pathfinderdiag631.blob.core.windows.net/dbbackup](https://pathfinderdiag631.blob.core.windows.net/dbbackup)"

# script.engine.groovy.inline.search: on

# script.engine.groovy.inline.aggs: on

# script.groovy.sandbox.enabled: true

# path.repo: ["[https://pathfinderdiag631.blob.core.windows.net/dbbackup](https://pathfinderdiag631.blob.core.windows.net/dbbackup)"]

Please format your code, logs or configuration files using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Just realized that you did not run any snapshot right? As the guide says, something like:

```
PUT /_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_1?wait_for_completion=true

If all what you shared here is exact, then that could be a bug.  
I did not test myself Azure snapshots for a long time so I can't tell. Might worth opening an issue in Elasticsearch github repository sharing all information and a link to this discussion?
