I'm running ES 7.1 in Azure govcloud, its working fine and now wish to setting snapshots. Here is what I've done # Install plugin `PLUGIN_BIN=/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin` `echo "y" | $PLUGIN_BIN install repository-azure` and restarting ES. Now `curl 0:9200/_cat/plugins?v` showing `es-cluster-vm0 repository-azure 7.1.1` Next, defined my storage setting via export ES\_KEYSTORE="/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-keystore" export STORAGE\_ACC\_NAME="redacted" export STORAGE\_ACC\_KEY="redacted" echo {STORAGE\_ACC\_NAME} | {ES\_KEYSTORE} add azure.client.default.account echo {STORAGE\_ACC\_KEY} | {ES\_KEYSTORE} add azure.client.default.key echo "[core.usgovcloudapi.net](http://core.usgovcloudapi.net)" | ${ES\_KEYSTORE} add azure.client.default.endpoint\_suffix Next, created new container named `es-snapshots` with private access. Next, to define my snapshot config ran `curl -XPUT 0:9200/_snapshot/azure_prod -H'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "type": "azure", "settings": { "container": "es-snapshots", "base_path": "backups", "chunk_size": "32m", "compress": true } }'` but getting error `{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"repository_exception","reason":"[azure_prod] repository type [azure] does not exist"}],"type":"repository_exception","reason":"[azure_prod] repository type [azure] does not exist"},"status":500}` Would really appreciate some clues/hints. Thanks, Jesse ---

Hi @jperezvt did you install the Azure repository plugin on all your cluster nodes? The exception suggestions that its missing from some or all of your nodes. Since you say it shows up properly in the plugins list, it seems likely it's missing from a subset of your nodes. ---

Thanks Armin, I had only installed Azure repository plugin on one of the master nodes for testing, did not realized I needed it on all nodes, doing that now, thanks ---

My cluster consist of 4 nodes so I went ahead and setup Azure repository plugin on the rest of the nodes and restarted ES on each. Now when I try **curl -XPUT 0:9200/\_snapshot/azure\_prod -H'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "type": "azure" }'** I'm getting > {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"repository\_verification\_exception","reason":"[azure\_prod] path is not accessible on master node"}],"type":"repository\_verification\_exception","reason":"[azure\_prod] path is not accessible on master node","caused\_by":{"type":"i\_o\_exception","reason":"Can not write blob master.dat","caused\_by":{"type":"storage\_exception","reason":"","caused\_by":{"type":"unknown\_host\_exception","reason":"[vtstorcoreprod.blob.core.windows.net](http://vtstorcoreprod.blob.core.windows.net)"}}}},"status":500} On each node I did set endpoint like **echo "[core.usgovcloudapi.net](http://core.usgovcloudapi.net)" | ${ES\_KEYSTORE} add azure.client.default.endpoint\_suffix** since this is Azure govcloud (not commercial) and in the error above its still trying to use **[core.windows.net](http://core.windows.net)** Any other suggestion? Thanks, Jesse ---

It's just a standard setting. See docs [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/7.x/repository-azure-client-settings.html). ---

Thank you. I was confused from the online doc. ---
