echo "proxy.elasticsearch.internal" | ./elasticsearch-keystore add --stdin s3.client.default.proxy.host  
echo "3128" | ./elasticsearch-keystore add --stdin s3.client.default.proxy.port

i am getting below mentioned error  
Caused by: org.apache.http.conn.ConnectTimeoutException: Connect to \<bucket\_name\>.s3.amazonaws.com:443 [\<bucket\_name\>.s3.amazonaws.com/52.219.62.40] failed: connect timed out

`proxy.host` and `proxy.port` are not secure settings so they can't be stored in keystore and needs to be configured in the repository settings directly through the API.

Only settings marked with `(Secure)` can be stored in keystore. Refer to this [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/6.3/repository-s3-client.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/6.3/repository-s3-client.html) for more information

Sorry, my mistake here. Actually, you need to add the following to `elasticsearch.yml` (not using the API as I stated, sorry for this):

```auto
s3.client.default.proxy.host: <proxy_ip>
s3.client.default.proxy.port: <proxy_port>

```
