I have created a policy in elasticsearch kibana for taking backup of only the "global state" and "feature state" of the cluster.

But when i run the policy, it fails with "index\_not\_found\_exception".

Is there any way to take snapshot of only the "global state" and "feature state", and not to take backup of any index ????
