Issue/Introduction

  During AXA install, an Elasticsearch Snapshot (backup) feature is enabled, intended for a shared mount between all the Elasticsearch servers: https://docops.ca.com/agile-operations-analytics-base-platform/17-3/en/installing/multi-node-installation/install-a-multi-node-deployment#InstallaMulti-NodeDeployment-ProvidetheInstallationProperties

  Is it possible to pause the Elasticsearch Snapshot (backup) feature enabled during install?

Environment

  AXA 17.3 On Premise 

Resolution

Yes, to pause the Snapshot feature, execute an HTTP POST to the Server running the Jarvis process:
http(s)://<Jarvis_hostname_or_IP_address>:8080/kron/groups/elasticsearch/jobs/ES-Snapshot?state=pause

To resume, the Snapshot POST...
http(s)://<Jarvis_hostname_or_IP_address>:8080/kron/groups/elasticsearch/jobs/ES-Snapshot?state=resume

Both commands should return a 200 response if successful.
