ElasticSearch Snapshots only Storing 5 Documents

[mrbushid0 (Andrew)]

Hi guys,

Elasticsearch version: 5.6.3
OS: Windows 10 Home

If I run:

$ curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_backup/test?wait_for_completion=true&pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "indices": "properties",
  "ignore_unavailable": true,
  "include_global_state": false
}'

The result is:

  "snapshot" : {
    "snapshot" : "test",
    "uuid" : "rM7Q3GUrRlC-PBPEl0vetg",
    "version_id" : 5060399,
    "version" : "5.6.3",
    "indices" : [
      "properties"
    ],
    "state" : "SUCCESS",
    "start_time" : "2018-01-09T19:54:58.031Z",
    "start_time_in_millis" : 1515527698031,
    "end_time" : "2018-01-09T19:54:58.104Z",
    "end_time_in_millis" : 1515527698104,
    "duration_in_millis" : 73,
    "failures" : [ ],
    "shards" : {
      "total" : 5,
      "failed" : 0,
      "successful" : 5
    }
  }
}

This index has over 20,000 documents, I have deleted all other snapshots and I am getting no errors in the elasticsearch.log, but every snapshot only stores 5 documents.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You meant 5 documents as 5 in
"shards" : {
"total" : 5,
"failed" : 0,
"successful" : 5
}
?
Restore the snapshot and you should see you have them all. 5 is 5 shards not 5 documents. Hopefully I did not misunderstand.
Cheers
