I ran out of space so i'm trying to set up a repository so i can snapshot then delete some indices until I can add more nodes.

I setup the following in my elasticsearch.yml

`cloud: aws: access_key: XXXXX secret_key: YYYYY read_timeout: 80s protocol: http repositories: s3: bucket: "snapshots" path_style_access: true region: "" endpoint: "123.456.789.012" protocol: http`

From here I added a snapshot repo and tried to start my first snapshot.

`lacadmin@kh21-57:~$ curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_s3\_repository?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"type": "s3",  
"settings": {  
"bucket": "snapshots",  
"region": "",  
"access\_key": "XXXXX",  
"secret\_key": "YYYYYYYYY",  
"path\_style\_access": true,  
"endpoint": "123.456.789.012",  
"signer": "S3SignerType"  
}  
}'  
{  
"acknowledged" : true  
}

lacadmin@kh21-57:~$ curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_s3\_repository/firstsnap?pretty'  
{  
"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  
}`

The Ceph S3 gateway log shows ES is trying to get index.latest which doesn't exist in that bucket. I tried creating an empty key with that name but that doesn't seem to have helped. Any tips on how to get this working?

Someone may have an idea, but we do not currently support the ceph gateway sorry.
