**Versions** (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):  
Opensearch v2.9

**Describe the issue** :  
When trying to hit the `GET _snapshot/<Repo>/<snapshot full name>/_status` endpoint, I get back a 404 BUT if I remove the `/status` I get the expected results.

I bring this up as my State Management policy is failing during the snapshotting → deleting transition. I’m guessing the internals are also hitting the status endpoint

@jsamuel12 Could you try running GET call with curl and superadmin certificates?

I can try but not sure what that will accomplish seeing the dev tools are connecting to the same nodes

I am receiving the same error using the suggested method. Somehow if removing `_status`, the snapshot will be found.
