To take an immediate snapshot according to the `daily-snapshots` policy:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
POST /_slm/policy/daily-snapshots/_execute
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[skip:we can't easily handle snapshots from docs tests]
If successful, this request returns the generated snapshot name:
[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"snapshot_name": "daily-snap-2019.04.24-gwrqoo2xtea3q57vvg0uea"
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[skip:we can't handle snapshots from docs tests]
The snapshot is taken in the background. You can use the
<<snapshot-lifecycle-management-api,snapshot APIs>> to
<<snapshots-monitor-snapshot-restore,monitor the status of the snapshot>>.
To see the status of a policy's most recent snapshot, you can use the
<<slm-api-get-policy,get snapshot lifecycle policy API>>.
