Hi,

i am using elk 7.1.1 with x-pack installed.

I am trying to perform a get command in kibana dev console to get the list of all snapshots

```
GET _cat/snapshots/<myrepositoryname>/

```

output

```
{
  "statusCode": 504,
  "error": "Gateway Time-out",
  "message": "Client request timeout"
} 

```

and i also tried

```
 GET _cat/snapshots/<myrepositoryname>/?waitforcompletion=true 

```

But its not working.
