I created storage account in azure but when i create a repository in azure it is showing error like this. I given command as PUT \_snapshot/azurerepository { "type": "azure" } Response ``` { "error": { "root_cause": [ { "type": "repository_verification_exception", "reason": "[azurerepository] can not initialize container elasticsearch-snapshots" } ], "type": "repository_verification_exception", "reason": "[azurerepository] can not initialize container elasticsearch-snapshots", "caused_by": { "type": "storage_exception", "reason": "An unknown failure occurred : Connection refused: connect", "caused_by": { "type": "connect_exception", "reason": "Connection refused: connect" } } }, "status": 500 } ``` Thanks ---

Any stacktrace in logs? May be change log level to debug ? ---

You mean by giving like these: curl -XPUT localhost:9200/\_cluster/settings -d '{ "transient" : { "logger.cloud.azure" : "DEBUG", "logger.repositories.azure" : "DEBUG" } }' ---

Yes. Then look at elasticsearch logs. ---

This looks strange to me. Which versions are you using? Also can you share your `elasticsearch.yml` file? Please replace all credentials before posting. ---
