The problem: The snapshotting only happens when I shut down the node that I am running and not every 30 secs, as I would expect from the below configuration. Did I configure something incorrectly or am I not understand when the snapshots would take place? The configuration, that I have setup is: gateway: type: fs fs: location: /Users/sanyal/Documents/workspace/hb\_indices/meta index: gateway: type: fs fs: location: /Users/sanyal/Documents/workspace/hb\_indices/snapshot snapshot\_interval : 30 snapshot\_on\_close : true memory: enabled: true store: type: niofs number\_of\_shards : 3 number\_of\_replicas : 2 path: logs: /Users/sanyal/Documents/workspace/logs As a background, I am prototyping ES for use in our in-house CMS application. So right now, ES is setup on only my laptop, which is macbook with 2.26 Ghz core 2 duo with 4GB RAM. I am also using only one node for indexing and searching. -- View this message in context: [http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/fs-gateway-snapshots-tp920588p920588.html](http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/fs-gateway-snapshots-tp920588p920588.html) Sent from the ElasticSearch Users mailing list archive at [Nabble.com](http://Nabble.com). ---
