Hello, @cdcsysadmin. You'll need to open closed indices first before taking a snapshot.
You could do that from the Index Status menu. Admin -> Index Status.

After I reopen the indices , do I need to wait (let say 15-30mins )before click snapshot_maintenance?

I would wait until they are all open.

One thing to point out is that you are going to need to change the setting on the Snapshot and maintenance page to "Close indexes older than" & "Delete indexes older than" to be a large number like 365 so that the indexes don't close/delete before the snapshot is made.

Once you get the snapshot, you can change these back down.
