My ES cluster seems to think it is in my middle of creating a snapshot yet I don't see any IN\_PROGRESS snapshots in my repository. It's supposed to be an hourly snapshot, but I don't see anything that has started within a few days. Yet every time I try and do anything with the repository, it says there is a snapshot in progress. Is there any way to query ES that reveals _what_ snapshot is currently in progress? I only perform snapshots on my master, yet 'jstack' shows nothing related to snapshotting going on. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Found the answer. The /\_cluster/state endpoint has a list of all snapshots in progress. For whatever reason, mine was stuck in INIT for a very long time. I deleted via the /\_snapshot/repo/snapshot\_name endpoint.
