How to get file names of my Snapshot using curl?

[wonderland14]

Hi Elasticsearch Team! Just wondering if we do have a command to get the list of our snapshot file names using curl?

Scenario:

1. I used the step provided for snapshot and restore " Restore a snapshot | Elasticsearch Guide [8.3] | Elastic"
2. Now, on step 7 where I can now restore my Snapshot, I don't have a copy of my snapshot because one of the requirement is to stop and delete everything from Elasticsearch, so I can't see my Snapshot file name on Kibana API because its down, so in order to proceed from step 7 I need the filename of my snapshot.
   Here is the command to run restore(provided on the documentation)

POST _snapshot/my_repository/my_snapshot_2099.05.06/_restore
{
  "indices": "*",
  "include_global_state": true
}

Question: Is it possible to get the list of all snapshot filename?

Thanks Everyone!

Hi @wonderland14 ,

Question: Is it possible to get the list of all snapshot filename?

A couple of options here:

1. If you have been using SLM (Snapshot Lifecycle Management), you can use the Get snapshot lifecycle policy API. For example:

• GET _slm/policy and retrieve the snapshot_name in the last_success section.

2. You can also use the cat snapshots API. For example:

• GET _cat/snapshots?v and look for the last SUCCESSFUL snapshot.

Let us know if that helps.

Thank You!! @ropc , I finally get the Snapshot file name using the GET _slm/policy
