Snapshot Restore

[kb2295]

Hi,
I'm trying to snapshot restore using a repository. This is the command i am running:

PUT -u user:password /_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_20181011

and I'm getting this error (in dev tools kibana):
{
"error": "Content-Type header [text/plain] is not supported",
"status": 406
}

I've tried variations such as
PUT -u user:password /_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_20190308 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d

but i get exactly the same error.

Can someone help me with this?

Thank you!

-u user:password

I do not know that the Kibana dev tools supports passing the username and password like this. I think you don't need to include this, because you already logged into Kibana.

PUT -u user:password /_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_20190308 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d

You are confusing the syntax for curl with the syntax that is permitted in Kibana. You just write

PUT /_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_20181011
{
  "maybe": {"some": "more"},
  "options": "here"
}
