Snapshot failing for 1 shard

ParashB · February 5, 2021, 5:52pm

Hi Guys,

I am using SLM to create snapshots but its failing to snapshot 1 of the shards consistently. The shard is 120GB in size but I have been able to snapshot such large shards for other indices successfully. I can't get any useful information from the failure details which is as below.

"details" : """{"type":"snapshot_exception","reason":"[snapshot_1:snap-2021.02.05-jkhokpgqs3o-fmzyuowvyw] failed to create snapshot successfully, 1 out of 68 total shards failed","stack_trace":"SnapshotException[[snapshot_1:snap-2021.02.05-jkhokpgqs3o-fmzyuowvyw] failed to create snapshot successfully, 1 out of 68 total shards failed]

That almost always indicates a faulty disk or other hardware problem. Check dmesg for further information, and replace the disk if it is indeed broken.

Hi David,

It failed for 5 times and finally snapshot was done successfully. The observation here is that it succeeded when the ingest load was low on the cluster. Does snapshot has anything to do with the load?

DavidTurner · February 8, 2021, 11:44am

Faulty disks and other hardware problems can be intermittent and load dependent. Ingest load alone does not explain an Input/output error, no.
