Diagnosing invalid repositoriesedit
When an Elasticsearch node faces an unexpected exception when trying to instantiate a snapshot repository, it will mark the repository as "invalid" and write a warning to the log file. Use the following steps to diagnose the underlying cause of this issue:
- Retrieve the affected nodes from the affected resources section of the health report.
- Refer to the logs of the affected node(s) and search for the repository name. You should be able to find logs that will contain relevant exception.
- Try to resolve the errors reported.
