cat snapshots

editThe snapshots
command shows all snapshots that belong to a specific repository.
To find a list of available repositories to query, the command /_cat/repositories
can be used.
Querying the snapshots of a repository named repo1
then looks as follows.
GET /_cat/snapshots/repo1?v&s=id
Which looks like:
id status start_epoch start_time end_epoch end_time duration indices successful_shards failed_shards total_shards snap1 FAILED 1445616705 18:11:45 1445616978 18:16:18 4.6m 1 4 1 5 snap2 SUCCESS 1445634298 23:04:58 1445634672 23:11:12 6.2m 2 10 0 10
Each snapshot contains information about when it was started and stopped.
Start and stop timestamps are available in two formats.
The HH:MM:SS
output is simply for quick human consumption.
The epoch time retains more information, including date, and is machine sortable if the snapshot process spans days.
