Hi  
I try to create snapshot using azure plugin.  
We are using Elasticsearch version 6.2.

When I run:

```
curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/_snapshot/oldbackup2" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
    "type": "azure",
    "settings": {
        "container": "default"       
    }
}
'

```

I'm receiving:

> {"acknowledged":true}

Then I try to check status of snapshot, so I run:

> curl localhost:9200/\_snapshot/oldbackup2/\_status

and response:

`{"snapshots":[]}`

Also I try to verify snapshot:  
`curl -X POST localhost:9200/_snapshot/oldbackup2/_verify`  
response:  
`{"nodes":{"SpMb41b5Q_CQJsOGllCDvg":{"name":"elkdata-0"},"S2QTx1zgS7y6b-M-r4LDpA":{"name":"elkdata-1"},"_JUVCg_4SlqNYs0xxrY8ZA":{"name":"elkdata-2"},"95sg_R9cSHKWlwcM6rOvrA":{"name":"elkmaster-0"}}}`

Snapshot is not starting, no matter how long I wait.  
I have no idea why it is not starting. Can You help ?

M.
