Hi, I try to create a snapshot of five indices via the Kibana dev\_tools like below

> PUT \_snapshot/shrink-cori-syslog/shrink-cori-syslog\_2020-04-24\_2020-04-29  
> {  
> "indices": "shrink-cori-syslog-000101,shrink-cori-syslog-000102,shrink-cori-syslog-000103,shrink-cori-syslog-000104,shrink-cori-syslog-000105",  
> "metadata": {  
> "taken\_by": "Siqi",  
> "description": "test"  
> }  
> }

It returns `acknowledge: true`  
But then I check the snapshot status

> GET \_snapshot/shrink-cori-syslog/shrink-cori-syslog\_2020-04-24\_2020-04-29

It ended up creating a snapshot of all my indices, an 2T+ snapshot.

I don't think it behaved like this before. Please take a look. Thank you
