Unable to delete Maintenance repository with slash in name

[mlabbepg]

In Snapshot & Maintenance, any repository created with a slash in Name (e.g. /data or blah/foo) can't be deleted using the [Delete] button.

Reproduced on a fresh install of 2.1.9, Ubuntu 20 LTS.

Is there another way to delete it manually from "under the hood"?

Hi mlabbepg,

Try deleting them through the API and substituting the hex value (%2F) for the /.

e.g.

Code: Select all

curl -ik -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/blah%2Ffoo'

It make take a few moments for the change to be reflected in the GUI.

That worked.

Thanks.

That's great to hear, are we okay to lock the topic and mark it as resolved?

[mlabbepg]

Yes. Thanks.
