Verify snapshot repository

Introduced 1.0 {: .label .label-purple }

Verifies that a snapshot repository is functional. Verifies the repository on each node in a cluster.

If verification is successful, the verify snapshot repository API returns a list of nodes connected to the snapshot repository. If verification failed, the API returns an error.

If you use the Security plugin, you must have the manage cluster privilege. {: .note}

Path parameters

Path parameters are optional.

Parameter	Data type	Description
repository	String	Name of repository to verify.

Query parameters

Parameter	Data type	Description
cluster_manager_timeout	Time	Amount of time to wait for a connection to the master node. Optional, defaults to 30s.
timeout	Time	The period of time to wait for a response. If a response is not received before the timeout value, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to 30s.

Example request

The following request verifies that the my-opensearch-repo is functional:

POST /_snapshot/my-opensearch-repo/_verify?timeout=0s&cluster_manager_timeout=50s

Example response

The example that follows corresponds to the request above in the Example request section.

The POST /_snapshot/my-opensearch-repo/_verify?timeout=0s&cluster_manager_timeout=50s request returns the following fields:

{
  "nodes" : {
    "by1kztwTRoeCyg4iGU5Y8A" : {
      "name" : "opensearch-node1"
    }
  }
}

In the preceding sample, one node is connected to the snapshot repository. If more were connected, you would see them in the response. Example:

{
  "nodes" : {
    "lcfL6jv2jo6sMEtp4idMvg" : {
      "name" : "node-1"
    },
    "rEPtFT/B+cuuOHnQn0jy4s" : {
      "name" : "node-2"
  }
}

Response fields

Field	Data type	Description
nodes	Object	A list (not an array) of nodes connected to the snapshot repository. Each node itself is a property where the node ID is the key and the name has an ID (Object) and a name (String).
