Hi, I am trying to increase the snapshot interval. Default is 30 minutes. I can't get the value higherv than 45 minutes. With a strange error:  
Cannot save policy

invalid schedule [0 \*/46 \* \* \* ?]: schedule would be too frequent, executing more than every [15m]

You can try to update the SLM policy schedule from Kibana UI.
