Unable to register secondary azure snapshot repo. Elasticsearch says client not found

Elastic Search

I’m trying to add a secondary snapshot repo repo to a cluster to migrate data. I’ve added the account info and key into the elasticsearch keystore, you can see them here:

elasticsearch-keystore list
azure.client.default.account
azure.client.default.key
azure.client.secondary.account
azure.client.secondary.key
bootstrap.password
keystore.seed

To be sure, I also ran this on the cluster:
POST _nodes/reload_secure_settings

here is the settings for the repo:

  "secondary-repo": {

    "type": "azure",

"uuid": "Wj5LIrlvSXqnynrl-ZESZw",

"settings": {

"client": "secondary"

    }

  }

you can see client is set to “secondary” however when I do a verify on the snapshot repo, I get the following error:

        "caused_by": {

          "type": "settings_exception",

"reason": "Unable to find client with name [secondary]"

so what am I missing that it’s not finding this secondary client information? I think I have everything in place according to how the docs suggest.

I figured this out just after hitting submit on this. We have both master and data nodes and I had only added the account information to the keystore on the master nodes, the data nodes need it as well.
