Restore a snapshot: RemoteTransportException

[mohammedEssabri]

Dear Elasticsearch team,

I'm using Elasticsearch 1.7, and I've created a snapshot named snapshot20180625 in an environment and i copied it into another environment, then i tried to register the repository using:

curl -XPUT "localhost:9200/_snapshot/snapshot20180625" -d '{
  "type": "fs",
  "settings": {
    "compress": "true",
    "location": "/shared/appdata/sls/sls.elasticsearch/backups"
  }
}'

But it gives me the following error:

{"error":"RemoteTransportException[[***server name***][inet[/localhost:9300]][cluster:admin/repository/put]]; nested: ProcessClusterEventTimeoutException[failed to process cluster event (put_repository [snapshot20180625]) within 30s]; ","status":503}

Can you please give me a help ?
Thank you!

Hi,

You should find more information in the elasticsearch node of the master node of your cluster.

Dear @tanguy,

Thank you for you response!

I've checked log, and i found that Elasticsearch doesn't have permissions to access to the data repository.
It's fixed by having the same owner user in both data repository and Elasticsearch.

Thanks and Best regards,
