# Snapshot [snapshot]
```yaml
action: snapshot
description: >-
Snapshot selected indices to 'repository' with the snapshot name or name
pattern in 'name'. Use all other options as assigned
options:
repository: ...
# Leaving name blank will result in the default 'curator-%Y%m%d%H%M%S'
name:
wait_for_completion: True
max_wait: 3600
wait_interval: 10
filters:
- filtertype: ...
```
::::{note}
Empty values and commented lines will result in the default value, if any, being selected. If a setting is set, but not used by a given action, it will be ignored.
::::
This action will snapshot indices to the indicated [repository](/reference/option_repository.md), with a name, or name pattern, as identified by [name](/reference/option_name.md).
The other options are usually okay to leave at the defaults, but feel free to read about them and change them accordingly.
