Getting error when adding the repository for backup

[vnallamothu (vamshi)]

I am getting following error while configuring/adding the repository for backup:

{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "repository_verification_exception",
"reason": "[es62_s3_repository] [[VZD6lm2UQU29T-vlW8fscw, 'RemoteTransportException[[es6-data-06][private_ip:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[es62_s3_repository] missing];']]"
}
],
"type": "repository_verification_exception",
"reason": "[es62_s3_repository] [[VZD6lm2UQU29T-vlW8fscw, 'RemoteTransportException[[es6-data-06][private_ip:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[es62_s3_repository] missing];']]"
},
"status": 500
}

Can anyone help me what is going on?

@vnallamothu, Can you please provide the settings of your s3 repository which are you trying?

Your setting should be look like below:

PUT _snapshot/my_s3_repository
{
  "type": "s3",
  "settings": {
    "bucket": "my_bucket_name",
    "region": "eu-central"
  }
}

Hope so above settings will help you.

Thanks.

@Tek_Chand, Thank you for the response. I was able to figure out the error. I didn't install S3 repository plugin on one of my newly added data nodes. After installing it and having my node restarted, I was able to backup my data.
