I take manual snapshots of an Elasticsearch index
These are stored in a snapshot repo on S3
I have created a new ES cluster, also version 6.3
I have connected the new cluster to the S3 snapshot repo via python script method mentioned in this blog post: https://medium.com/docsapp-product-and-technology/aws-elasticsearch-manual-snapshot-and-restore-on-aws-s3-7e9783cdaecb
I have confirmed that the new cluster has access to the snapshot repo via the
GET /_snapshot/manual-snapshot-repo/_all?prettycommandI have initiated a snapshot restore to this new cluster via:
POST /_snapshot/manual-snapshot-repo/snapshot_name/_restore { "indices": "reports", "ignore_unavailable": false, "include_global_state": false }
It is clear that this operation has at least partially succeeded as the cluster status has gone from "green" to "yellow" and a GET request to
/_cluster/healthyields information that suggests actions are occuring on an otherwise empty cluster... not to mention storage is starting to be utilized (when viewing cluster health on AWS).I would very much like to monitor the progress of the restore operation.
Elasticsearch docs suggest to use the Recovery API. Docs Link: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.3/indices-recovery.html
It is clear from the docs that
GET /_recovery?humanorGET /my_index/_recovery?humanshould yield restore progress.
However, I encounter the following error:
"Message": "Your request: '/_recovery' is not allowed."
I get the same message when attempting the GET command in the following ways:
- Via Kibana dev tools
- Via chrome address bar (It's just a GET operation after all)
- Via Advanced REST Client (a Chrome app)
I have not been able to locate any other mention of this particular error message.
How can I utilize the GET /_recovery?human command on my ElasticSearch 6.3 clusters?
Thank you!
