I've been trying to restore the snapshot preserved in Azure storage blobs.

While restoring observed the below error,

{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"repository\_exception","reason":"[elasticsearch\_snapshot] Could not determine repository generation from root blobs"}],"type":"repository\_exception","reason":"[elasticsearch\_snapshot] Could not determine repository generation from root blobs","caused\_by":{"type":"i\_o\_exception","reason":"Unable to list blobs by prefix [index-] for path ","caused\_by":{"type":"settings\_exception","reason":"Unable to find client with name [default]"}}},"status":500}

azure client storage account account and key are configured correctly. Is there anything else that I'm missing. Any insights are appreciated.
