Hello,

I am taking periodically snapshots of my elasticsearch cluster to GCE bucket. I am trying to read the list of snapshots with the following command but I get no answer:

```
curl -XGET http://localhost:19276/_snapshot/clustername/_all

```

Any idea how to get that read?

What do you mean by getting no answer? Does it return an empty response or an error? Does your response time out? Do you see any errors in the log file on the master node?

Yes it times out. Maybe it's because the cluster is in red status. Basically I want to check the snapshot in the gce before I start deleting the indexes. The cluster have crashed and I am not able to bring it back alive.
