This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” `” + storageClass + “` is not a valid S3 Storage Class. ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: repository-s3, storage, repositories.
Overview
An Elasticsearch snapshot provides a backup mechanism that takes the current state and data in the cluster and saves it to a repository (read snapshot for more information). The backup process requires a repository to be created first. The repository needs to be registered using the _snapshot endpoint, and multiple repositories can be created per cluster. The following repository types are supported:
Repository types
Repository type | Configuration type |
---|---|
Shared file system | Type: “fs” |
S3 | Type : “s3” |
HDFS | Type :“hdfs” |
Azure | Type: “azure” |
Google Cloud Storage | Type : “gcs” |
Examples
To register an “fs” repository:
PUT _snapshot/my_repo_01 { "type": "fs", "settings": { "location": "/mnt/my_repo_dir" } }
Notes and good things to know
- S3, HDFS, Azure and Google Cloud require a relevant plugin to be installed before it can be used for a snapshot.
- The setting, path.repo: /mnt/my_repo_dir needs to be added to elasticsearch.yml on all the nodes if you are planning to use the repo type of file system. Otherwise, it will fail.
- When using remote repositories, the network bandwidth and repository storage throughput should be high enough to complete the snapshot operations normally, otherwise you will end up with partial snapshots.
