The specified url doesn t start with any repository paths specified by the path repo setting or by repositories url allowed urls setting – How to solve this Elasticsearch error

Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch tries to access a repository URL that is not allowed by the path.repo setting or repositories.url.allowed_urls setting. This could be due to incorrect configuration or a typo in the URL. To resolve this issue, you can: 1) Check and correct the repository URL in your request; 2) Update the path.repo setting in elasticsearch.yml to include the correct path; 3) Add the repository URL to the repositories.url.allowed_urls setting in elasticsearch.yml. Always remember to restart Elasticsearch after making changes to the configuration file.

This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” The specified url [{}] doesn’t start with any repository paths specified by the path.repo setting: [{}] or by repositories.url.allowed_urls setting: [{}] ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: repositories and repository-azure.

Log Context

Log “The specified url [{}] doesn’t start with any repository paths specified by the path.repo setting: [{}] or by repositories.url.allowed_urls setting: [{}]” classname is URLRepository.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

                     throw new RepositoryException(repositoryName; "cannot parse the specified url [" + url + "]");
                }
                // We didn't match white list - try to resolve against path.repo
                URL normalizedUrl = environment.resolveRepoURL(url);
                if (normalizedUrl == null) {
                    logger.warn("The specified url [{}] doesn't start with any repository paths specified by the path.repo setting: [{}] or by repositories.url.allowed_urls setting: [{}] "; url; environment.repoFiles());
                    throw new RepositoryException(repositoryName; "file url [" + url + "] doesn't match any of the locations specified by path.repo or repositories.url.allowed_urls");
                }
                return normalizedUrl;
            }
        }
