Unable to create backup/snapshot to AWS S3

Hi All,

I am trying to take a backup of my elasticsearch but somehow it isn't working.

Versions Used:-
ES:- 1.5.0
Cloud-AWS:- 2.5.0

Command used(using postman with PUT):- https://url/es/_snapshot/backup/backup3
{
"indices": "logstash-*",
"ignore_unavailable": "true",
"include_global_state": false
}

It says that it accepted with a message {accepted: true} but when i go and check the status for it. I get the below error on the screen.

{

},

},

Can anyone let me know what can be the issue.

FYI:- The access key and secret key are all correct with proper admin privilege.

Did you try to upgrade to 1.7 as I invited you there? https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/13114#issuecomment-137685716

Hi,

I have a production server and i believe i am avoiding this step of upgrading to 1.7. Anything else as a part of triaging will help.
