Get snapshot status API
editGet snapshot status API
editRetrieves a detailed description of the current state for each shard participating in the snapshot.

Prerequisites
edit-
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the
monitor_snapshot
,create_snapshot
, ormanage
cluster privilege to use this API.
Description
editUse the get snapshot status API to get detailed information about the shards participating in a snapshot.
If you omit the <snapshot>
request path parameter, the request only retrieves
information for currently running snapshots. This usage is preferred.
If needed, you can specify <repository>
and <snapshot>
to retrieve
information for specific snapshots, even if they’re not currently running.
Using the get snapshot status API to return any status results other than the currently running snapshots (_current
) can be very expensive. Each request to retrieve snapshot status results in file reads from every shard in a snapshot, for each snapshot. Such requests are taxing to machine resources and can also incur high processing costs when running in the cloud.
For example, if you have 100 snapshots with 1,000 shards each, the API request will result in 100,000 file reads (100 snapshots * 1,000 shards). Depending on the latency of your file storage, the request can take extremely long to retrieve results.
