I have an ElasticSearch instance running on my local machine. I installed the S3 plugin so I can do backup and restore operation to/from S3. I tried to follow the documentation on how to set this up. I was able to register a snapshot repository and I have a bucket in S3 created just for backups. When I do a /\_all I see the current repo settings. So, at this point all looks fine. However, when I try to create a snapshot it fails with RepositoryMissingException. This is what I get for a /\_all: { "statlogs -d": { "type": "s3", "settings": { "region": "us-east", "bucket": "", "access\_key": "", "secret\_key": "" } } } This is what I am sending when I try to do a snapshot: PUT /\_snapshot/statlogs/snapshot\_1 -d { "indices": ["statexceptionlog"], "ignore\_unavailable": "true", "include\_global\_state": false } I am using Sense to send the commands. I'm assuming I am getting the error because of something wrong with my S3 settings but I don't know what it would be. I'm making this assumption because the /\_all returns data (but I guess that could be wrong). Any ideas on what the issue might be? What exactly causes RepositoryMissingException?

Well, that was it. I copied the sample PUT from the elasticsearch web site, which of course uses curl, and did not take out the -d. Definitely helps to have another pair of eyes. I was looking at that all day and didn't see the -d. Thanks for your help.
