Environment (please include the following information):

Additional context

I'm pretty aware that ES version is quite old, but it's a huge corp appl and there's a lot too coordinate to upgrade it, and the appl is actually being decoupled into minor pieces and it's probably going to be decomm by 3q22, until then...

cat elasticsearch.yml
network.host: 0.0.0.0
path.repo: /snapshots

Hi, thanks for reporting this issue. I will try to reproduce it, but i cannot promise a fix. Elasticvue aims to support the two latest major versions of elasticsearch and 2.3 is sadly not one these. But i will see what i can do :)

Hey @fm4tt0s , i can reproduce this issue. Elasticvue uses the _cluster/settings endpoint to query the path.repo setting, sadly elasticsearch 2.x does not include this setting in the response. As far as i can tell there is no way for me to check if the path.repo setting is setup correctly on older elasticsearch versions.

But i will adjust the warning to make it less confusing for users that encounter this issue.

much appreciated @cars10

Hi @cars10

Maybe you can check in node settings with request to _nodes or directly with master node if you have it _nodes/xxx

In this response you have foreach node an array with settings

You can check the path key if repo value is defined
