Elasticsearch with kibana path.repo issue

[srini26juin]

Hai, i have been using elasticsearch 5.5.2 with kibana 5.5. i need to create backup to a folder /var/backup

elasticsearch.yml file is

> # ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
> #
> # Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
> #
> #cluster.name: my-application
> #
> # ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
> #
> # Use a descriptive name for the node:
> #
> #node.name: node-1
> #
> # Add custom attributes to the node:
> #
> #node.attr.rack: r1
> #
> # ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
> #
> # Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
> 
> #path.data: /path/to/data
> 
> #Path to log files:
> 
> #path.logs: /path/to/logs
> 
> path.repo: ["/var/backup"]
> 
> 
> # ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
> #
> # Lock the memory on startup:
> #
> #bootstrap.memory_lock: true
> #
> # Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available
> # on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this
> # limit.
> #
> # Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
> #
> # ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
> #
> # Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
> #
> network.host: 192.168.0.1
> #
> # Set a custom port for HTTP:
> #
> #http.port: 9200
> #
> # For more information, consult the network module documentation.
> #
> # --------------------------------- Discovery ----------------------------------
> #
> # Pass an initial list of hosts to perform discovery when new node is started:
> # The default list of hosts is ["127.0.0.1", "[::1]"]
> #
> #discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["host1", "host2"]
> #
> # Prevent the "split brain" by configuring the majority of nodes (total number of master-eligible nodes / 2 + 1):
> #
> #discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 3
> #
> # For more information, consult the zen discovery module documentation.
> #
> # ---------------------------------- Gateway -----------------------------------
> #
> # Block initial recovery after a full cluster restart until N nodes are started:
> #
> #gateway.recover_after_nodes: 3
> #
> # For more information, consult the gateway module documentation.

Hi there! Can you show us what your Chef recipe looks like? Can you show us the logs? It sounds like Elasticsearch is complaining about the value you've set there, but I can't really see how this is related to the Elasticsearch cookbook for Chef without more information. Thanks :)
