Snapshot

action: snapshot
description: >-
  Snapshot selected indices to 'repository' with the snapshot name or name
  pattern in 'name'.  Use all other options as assigned
options:
  repository: ...
  # Leaving name blank will result in the default 'curator-%Y%m%d%H%M%S'
  name:
  wait_for_completion: True
  max_wait: 3600
  wait_interval: 10
filters:
- filtertype: ...

Empty values and commented lines will result in the default value, if any, being selected. If a setting is set, but not used by a given action, it will be ignored.

This action will snapshot indices to the indicated repository, with a name, or name pattern, as identified by name.

The other options are usually okay to leave at the defaults, but feel free to read about them and change them accordingly.
