Azure Repository

To enable Azure repositories, you have first to set your azure storage settings in elasticsearch.yml file:

cloud:
    azure:
        storage:
            account: your_azure_storage_account
            key: your_azure_storage_key

For information, in previous version of the azure plugin, settings were:

cloud:
    azure:
        storage_account: your_azure_storage_account
        storage_key: your_azure_storage_key

You can set the timeout to use when making any single request. It can be defined globally, per account or both. Defaults to 5m.

cloud:
    azure:
        storage:
            account: your_azure_storage_account
            key: your_azure_storage_key
            timeout: 10s

The Azure repository supports following settings:

Some examples, using scripts:

# The simpliest one
PUT _snapshot/my_backup1
{
    "type": "azure"
}

# With some settings
PUT _snapshot/my_backup2
{
    "type": "azure",
    "settings": {
        "container": "backup-container",
        "base_path": "backups",
        "chunk_size": "32m",
        "compress": true
    }
}

Example using Java:

client.admin().cluster().preparePutRepository("my_backup3")
    .setType("azure").setSettings(Settings.settingsBuilder()
        .put(Storage.CONTAINER, "backup-container")
        .put(Storage.CHUNK_SIZE, new ByteSizeValue(32, ByteSizeUnit.MB))
    ).get();
