I am trying to perform a get command in kibana dev console to get the list of all snapshots

GET _cat/snapshots/<myrepositoryname>/

{
  "statusCode": 504,
  "error": "Gateway Time-out",
  "message": "Client request timeout"
} 

and i also tried

 GET _cat/snapshots/<myrepositoryname>/?waitforcompletion=true 

But its not working.Please help me solve it.

Old Questions but maybe its helps others. To increase timout you can set the timout parameter as query parameter like:

POST my_index/_search?timeout=9000s

The s is for seconds. You can use other time shortcuts as well.
