Looks like your config is missing "my\_repo". Do you have more log lines?

Thanks,

I'd like to second what Bhavya said. It looks like you don't have a repository `my_repo`. Could you please provide some additional information, below.

Which version of the Elastic Stack are you using?

What is the response you get when you execute `GET /_snapshot/my_repo`?

What is the request you executed that responded with the error you originally posted?

Thank you!
