Authentication

The API accepts 3 different authentication methods:

Api key auth (http_api_key)

Elasticsearch APIs support key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example:

curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"

To get API keys, use the /_security/api_key APIs.

Basic auth (http)

Basic auth tokens are constructed with the Basic keyword, followed by a space, followed by a base64-encoded string of your username:password (separated by a : colon).

Example: send a Authorization: Basic aGVsbG86aGVsbG8= HTTP header with your requests to authenticate with the API.

Bearer auth (http)

Elasticsearch APIs support the use of bearer tokens in the Authorization HTTP header to authenticate with the API. For examples, refer to Token-based authentication services

    • For open anomaly detection jobs only, contains messages relating to the selection of a node to run the job.

    • The number of input documents that have been processed by the anomaly detection job. This value includes documents with missing fields, since they are nonetheless analyzed. If you use datafeeds and have aggregations in your search query, the processed_record_count is the number of aggregation results processed, not the number of Elasticsearch documents.

    • The total number of fields in all the documents that have been processed by the anomaly detection job. Only fields that are specified in the detector configuration object contribute to this count. The timestamp is not included in this count.

    • The number of input documents posted to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total number of fields in input documents posted to the anomaly detection job. This count includes fields that are not used in the analysis. However, be aware that if you are using a datafeed, it extracts only the required fields from the documents it retrieves before posting them to the job.

    • The number of input documents with either a missing date field or a date that could not be parsed.

    • The number of input documents that are missing a field that the anomaly detection job is configured to analyze. Input documents with missing fields are still processed because it is possible that not all fields are missing. If you are using datafeeds or posting data to the job in JSON format, a high missing_field_count is often not an indication of data issues. It is not necessarily a cause for concern.

    • The number of input documents that have a timestamp chronologically preceding the start of the current anomaly detection bucket offset by the latency window. This information is applicable only when you provide data to the anomaly detection job by using the post data API. These out of order documents are discarded, since jobs require time series data to be in ascending chronological order.

    • The number of buckets which did not contain any data. If your data contains many empty buckets, consider increasing your bucket_span or using functions that are tolerant to gaps in data such as mean, non_null_sum or non_zero_count.

    • The number of buckets that contained few data points compared to the expected number of data points. If your data contains many sparse buckets, consider using a longer bucket_span.

    • The total number of buckets processed.

    • The timestamp of the earliest chronologically input document.

    • The timestamp of the latest chronologically input document.

    • The timestamp at which data was last analyzed, according to server time.

    • The timestamp of the last bucket that did not contain any data.

    • The timestamp of the last bucket that was considered sparse.

    • Values are ok, soft_limit, or hard_limit.

    • The upper limit for model memory usage, checked on increasing values.

    • The number of by field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of over field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of partition field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of buckets for which new entities in incoming data were not processed due to insufficient model memory. This situation is also signified by a hard_limit: memory_status property value.

    • Values are ok or warn.

    • The number of documents that have had a field categorized.

    • The number of categories created by categorization.

    • The number of categories that match more than 1% of categorized documents.

    • The number of categories that match just one categorized document.

    • The number of categories created by categorization that will never be assigned again because another category’s definition makes it a superset of the dead category. Dead categories are a side effect of the way categorization has no prior training.

    • The number of times that categorization wanted to create a new category but couldn’t because the job had hit its model_memory_limit. This count does not track which specific categories failed to be created. Therefore you cannot use this value to determine the number of unique categories that were missed.

    • The timestamp when the model stats were gathered, according to server time.

    • The timestamp of the last record when the model stats were gathered.

    • The number of individual forecasts currently available for the job. A value of one or more indicates that forecasts exist.

    • The minimum memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The maximum memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The average memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The maximum number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The average number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The minimum runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The maximum runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The average runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

Get anomaly detection jobs Added in 7.7.0

GET /_cat/ml/anomaly_detectors/{job_id}

Get configuration and usage information for anomaly detection jobs. This API returns a maximum of 10,000 jobs. If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have monitor_ml, monitor, manage_ml, or manage cluster privileges to use this API.

IMPORTANT: CAT APIs are only intended for human consumption using the Kibana console or command line. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the get anomaly detection job statistics API.

Path parameters

  • job_id string Required

    Identifier for the anomaly detection job.

Query parameters

  • Specifies what to do when the request:

    • Contains wildcard expressions and there are no jobs that match.
    • Contains the _all string or no identifiers and there are no matches.
    • Contains wildcard expressions and there are only partial matches.

    If true, the API returns an empty jobs array when there are no matches and the subset of results when there are partial matches. If false, the API returns a 404 status code when there are no matches or only partial matches.

  • bytes string

    The unit used to display byte values.

    Values are b, kb, mb, gb, tb, or pb.

  • h string | array[string]

    Comma-separated list of column names to display.

  • s string | array[string]

    Comma-separated list of column names or column aliases used to sort the response.

  • time string

    The unit used to display time values.

    Values are nanos, micros, ms, s, m, h, or d.

Responses

  • Hide response attributes Show response attributes object
    • id string
    • state string

      Values are closing, closed, opened, failed, or opening.

    • For open jobs only, the amount of time the job has been opened.

    • For open anomaly detection jobs only, contains messages relating to the selection of a node to run the job.

    • The number of input documents that have been processed by the anomaly detection job. This value includes documents with missing fields, since they are nonetheless analyzed. If you use datafeeds and have aggregations in your search query, the processed_record_count is the number of aggregation results processed, not the number of Elasticsearch documents.

    • The total number of fields in all the documents that have been processed by the anomaly detection job. Only fields that are specified in the detector configuration object contribute to this count. The timestamp is not included in this count.

    • The number of input documents posted to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total number of fields in input documents posted to the anomaly detection job. This count includes fields that are not used in the analysis. However, be aware that if you are using a datafeed, it extracts only the required fields from the documents it retrieves before posting them to the job.

    • The number of input documents with either a missing date field or a date that could not be parsed.

    • The number of input documents that are missing a field that the anomaly detection job is configured to analyze. Input documents with missing fields are still processed because it is possible that not all fields are missing. If you are using datafeeds or posting data to the job in JSON format, a high missing_field_count is often not an indication of data issues. It is not necessarily a cause for concern.

    • The number of input documents that have a timestamp chronologically preceding the start of the current anomaly detection bucket offset by the latency window. This information is applicable only when you provide data to the anomaly detection job by using the post data API. These out of order documents are discarded, since jobs require time series data to be in ascending chronological order.

    • The number of buckets which did not contain any data. If your data contains many empty buckets, consider increasing your bucket_span or using functions that are tolerant to gaps in data such as mean, non_null_sum or non_zero_count.

    • The number of buckets that contained few data points compared to the expected number of data points. If your data contains many sparse buckets, consider using a longer bucket_span.

    • The total number of buckets processed.

    • The timestamp of the earliest chronologically input document.

    • The timestamp of the latest chronologically input document.

    • The timestamp at which data was last analyzed, according to server time.

    • The timestamp of the last bucket that did not contain any data.

    • The timestamp of the last bucket that was considered sparse.

    • Values are ok, soft_limit, or hard_limit.

    • The upper limit for model memory usage, checked on increasing values.

    • The number of by field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of over field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of partition field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of buckets for which new entities in incoming data were not processed due to insufficient model memory. This situation is also signified by a hard_limit: memory_status property value.

    • Values are ok or warn.

    • The number of documents that have had a field categorized.

    • The number of categories created by categorization.

    • The number of categories that match more than 1% of categorized documents.

    • The number of categories that match just one categorized document.

    • The number of categories created by categorization that will never be assigned again because another category’s definition makes it a superset of the dead category. Dead categories are a side effect of the way categorization has no prior training.

    • The number of times that categorization wanted to create a new category but couldn’t because the job had hit its model_memory_limit. This count does not track which specific categories failed to be created. Therefore you cannot use this value to determine the number of unique categories that were missed.

    • The timestamp when the model stats were gathered, according to server time.

    • The timestamp of the last record when the model stats were gathered.

    • The number of individual forecasts currently available for the job. A value of one or more indicates that forecasts exist.

    • The minimum memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The maximum memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The average memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The minimum number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The maximum number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The average number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The minimum runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The maximum runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The average runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • node.id string
    • The name of the assigned node.

    • The network address of the assigned node.

    • The number of bucket results produced by the job.

    • The sum of all bucket processing times, in milliseconds.

    • The minimum of all bucket processing times, in milliseconds.

    • The maximum of all bucket processing times, in milliseconds.

    • The exponential moving average of all bucket processing times, in milliseconds.

    • The exponential moving average of bucket processing times calculated in a one hour time window, in milliseconds.

Get segment information

GET /_cat/segments/{index}

Get low-level information about the Lucene segments in index shards. For data streams, the API returns information about the backing indices. IMPORTANT: cat APIs are only intended for human consumption using the command line or Kibana console. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the index segments API.

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    A comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request. Supports wildcards (*). To target all data streams and indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.

Query parameters

  • bytes string

    The unit used to display byte values.

    Values are b, kb, mb, gb, tb, or pb.

  • local boolean

    If true, the request computes the list of selected nodes from the local cluster state. If false the list of selected nodes are computed from the cluster state of the master node. In both cases the coordinating node will send requests for further information to each selected node.

  • Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

Responses

  • Hide response attributes Show response attributes object
    • index string
    • shard string

      The shard name.

    • prirep string

      The shard type: primary or replica.

    • ip string

      The IP address of the node where it lives.

    • id string
    • segment string

      The segment name, which is derived from the segment generation and used internally to create file names in the directory of the shard.

    • The segment generation number. Elasticsearch increments this generation number for each segment written then uses this number to derive the segment name.

    • The number of documents in the segment. This excludes deleted documents and counts any nested documents separately from their parents. It also excludes documents which were indexed recently and do not yet belong to a segment.

    • The number of deleted documents in the segment, which might be higher or lower than the number of delete operations you have performed. This number excludes deletes that were performed recently and do not yet belong to a segment. Deleted documents are cleaned up by the automatic merge process if it makes sense to do so. Also, Elasticsearch creates extra deleted documents to internally track the recent history of operations on a shard.

    • If true, the segment is synced to disk. Segments that are synced can survive a hard reboot. If false, the data from uncommitted segments is also stored in the transaction log so that Elasticsearch is able to replay changes on the next start.

    • If true, the segment is searchable. If false, the segment has most likely been written to disk but needs a refresh to be searchable.

    • version string
    • compound string

      If true, the segment is stored in a compound file. This means Lucene merged all files from the segment in a single file to save file descriptors.

Get snapshot information Added in 2.1.0

GET /_cat/snapshots/{repository}

Get information about the snapshots stored in one or more repositories. A snapshot is a backup of an index or running Elasticsearch cluster. IMPORTANT: cat APIs are only intended for human consumption using the command line or Kibana console. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the get snapshot API.

Path parameters

  • repository string | array[string] Required

    A comma-separated list of snapshot repositories used to limit the request. Accepts wildcard expressions. _all returns all repositories. If any repository fails during the request, Elasticsearch returns an error.

Query parameters

  • If true, the response does not include information from unavailable snapshots.

  • Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

  • time string

    Unit used to display time values.

    Values are nanos, micros, ms, s, m, h, or d.

Responses

  • Hide response attributes Show response attributes object
    • id string

      The unique identifier for the snapshot.

    • The repository name.

    • status string

      The state of the snapshot process. Returned values include: FAILED: The snapshot process failed. INCOMPATIBLE: The snapshot process is incompatible with the current cluster version. IN_PROGRESS: The snapshot process started but has not completed. PARTIAL: The snapshot process completed with a partial success. SUCCESS: The snapshot process completed with a full success.

    • start_epoch number | string

      Some APIs will return values such as numbers also as a string (notably epoch timestamps). This behavior is used to capture this behavior while keeping the semantics of the field type.

      Depending on the target language, code generators can keep the union or remove it and leniently parse strings to the target type.

    • start_time string | object

      A time of day, expressed either as hh:mm, noon, midnight, or an hour/minutes structure.

      One of:
    • end_epoch number | string

      Some APIs will return values such as numbers also as a string (notably epoch timestamps). This behavior is used to capture this behavior while keeping the semantics of the field type.

      Depending on the target language, code generators can keep the union or remove it and leniently parse strings to the target type.

    • end_time string

      Time of day, expressed as HH:MM:SS

    • duration string

      A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.

    • indices string

      The number of indices in the snapshot.

    • The number of successful shards in the snapshot.

    • The number of failed shards in the snapshot.

    • The total number of shards in the snapshot.

Get thread pool statistics

GET /_cat/thread_pool/{thread_pool_patterns}

Get thread pool statistics for each node in a cluster. Returned information includes all built-in thread pools and custom thread pools. IMPORTANT: cat APIs are only intended for human consumption using the command line or Kibana console. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the nodes info API.

Path parameters

  • thread_pool_patterns string | array[string] Required

    A comma-separated list of thread pool names used to limit the request. Accepts wildcard expressions.

Query parameters

  • time string

    The unit used to display time values.

    Values are nanos, micros, ms, s, m, h, or d.

  • local boolean

    If true, the request computes the list of selected nodes from the local cluster state. If false the list of selected nodes are computed from the cluster state of the master node. In both cases the coordinating node will send requests for further information to each selected node.

  • Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

Explain the shard allocations Added in 5.0.0

GET /_cluster/allocation/explain

Get explanations for shard allocations in the cluster. For unassigned shards, it provides an explanation for why the shard is unassigned. For assigned shards, it provides an explanation for why the shard is remaining on its current node and has not moved or rebalanced to another node. This API can be very useful when attempting to diagnose why a shard is unassigned or why a shard continues to remain on its current node when you might expect otherwise.

Query parameters

application/json

Body

  • Specifies the node ID or the name of the node to only explain a shard that is currently located on the specified node.

  • index string
  • primary boolean

    If true, returns explanation for the primary shard for the given shard ID.

  • shard number

    Specifies the ID of the shard that you would like an explanation for.

Clear cluster voting config exclusions Added in 7.0.0

DELETE /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions

Remove master-eligible nodes from the voting configuration exclusion list.

Query parameters

  • Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

  • Specifies whether to wait for all excluded nodes to be removed from the cluster before clearing the voting configuration exclusions list. Defaults to true, meaning that all excluded nodes must be removed from the cluster before this API takes any action. If set to false then the voting configuration exclusions list is cleared even if some excluded nodes are still in the cluster.

Update the cluster settings

PUT /_cluster/settings

Configure and update dynamic settings on a running cluster. You can also configure dynamic settings locally on an unstarted or shut down node in elasticsearch.yml.

Updates made with this API can be persistent, which apply across cluster restarts, or transient, which reset after a cluster restart. You can also reset transient or persistent settings by assigning them a null value.

If you configure the same setting using multiple methods, Elasticsearch applies the settings in following order of precedence: 1) Transient setting; 2) Persistent setting; 3) elasticsearch.yml setting; 4) Default setting value. For example, you can apply a transient setting to override a persistent setting or elasticsearch.yml setting. However, a change to an elasticsearch.yml setting will not override a defined transient or persistent setting.

TIP: In Elastic Cloud, use the user settings feature to configure all cluster settings. This method automatically rejects unsafe settings that could break your cluster. If you run Elasticsearch on your own hardware, use this API to configure dynamic cluster settings. Only use elasticsearch.yml for static cluster settings and node settings. The API doesn’t require a restart and ensures a setting’s value is the same on all nodes.

WARNING: Transient cluster settings are no longer recommended. Use persistent cluster settings instead. If a cluster becomes unstable, transient settings can clear unexpectedly, resulting in a potentially undesired cluster configuration.

PUT `/_cluster/settings` to update the `action.auto_create_index` setting. The setting accepts a comma-separated list of patterns that you want to allow or you can prefix each pattern with `+` or `-` to indicate whether it should be allowed or blocked. In this example, the auto-creation of indices called `my-index-000001` or `index10` is allowed, the creation of indices that match the pattern `index1*` is blocked, and the creation of any other indices that match the `ind*` pattern is allowed. Patterns are matched in the order specified.

Get the cluster health status Added in 1.3.0

GET /_cluster/health

You can also use the API to get the health status of only specified data streams and indices. For data streams, the API retrieves the health status of the stream’s backing indices.

The cluster health status is: green, yellow or red. On the shard level, a red status indicates that the specific shard is not allocated in the cluster. Yellow means that the primary shard is allocated but replicas are not. Green means that all shards are allocated. The index level status is controlled by the worst shard status.

One of the main benefits of the API is the ability to wait until the cluster reaches a certain high watermark health level. The cluster status is controlled by the worst index status.

Query parameters

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Whether to expand wildcard expression to concrete indices that are open, closed or both.

  • level string

    Can be one of cluster, indices or shards. Controls the details level of the health information returned.

    Values are cluster, indices, or shards.

  • local boolean

    If true, the request retrieves information from the local node only. Defaults to false, which means information is retrieved from the master node.

  • Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • wait_for_active_shards number | string

    A number controlling to how many active shards to wait for, all to wait for all shards in the cluster to be active, or 0 to not wait.

  • Can be one of immediate, urgent, high, normal, low, languid. Wait until all currently queued events with the given priority are processed.

    Values are immediate, urgent, high, normal, low, or languid.

  • wait_for_nodes string | number

    The request waits until the specified number N of nodes is available. It also accepts >=N, <=N, >N and <N. Alternatively, it is possible to use ge(N), le(N), gt(N) and lt(N) notation.

  • A boolean value which controls whether to wait (until the timeout provided) for the cluster to have no shard initializations. Defaults to false, which means it will not wait for initializing shards.

  • A boolean value which controls whether to wait (until the timeout provided) for the cluster to have no shard relocations. Defaults to false, which means it will not wait for relocating shards.

  • One of green, yellow or red. Will wait (until the timeout provided) until the status of the cluster changes to the one provided or better, i.e. green > yellow > red. By default, will not wait for any status.

    Values are green, GREEN, yellow, YELLOW, red, or RED.

Get the cluster health status Added in 1.3.0

GET /_cluster/health/{index}

You can also use the API to get the health status of only specified data streams and indices. For data streams, the API retrieves the health status of the stream’s backing indices.

The cluster health status is: green, yellow or red. On the shard level, a red status indicates that the specific shard is not allocated in the cluster. Yellow means that the primary shard is allocated but replicas are not. Green means that all shards are allocated. The index level status is controlled by the worst shard status.

One of the main benefits of the API is the ability to wait until the cluster reaches a certain high watermark health level. The cluster status is controlled by the worst index status.

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and index aliases used to limit the request. Wildcard expressions (*) are supported. To target all data streams and indices in a cluster, omit this parameter or use _all or *.

Query parameters

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Whether to expand wildcard expression to concrete indices that are open, closed or both.

  • level string

    Can be one of cluster, indices or shards. Controls the details level of the health information returned.

    Values are cluster, indices, or shards.

  • local boolean

    If true, the request retrieves information from the local node only. Defaults to false, which means information is retrieved from the master node.

  • Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

Get remote cluster information Added in 6.1.0

GET /_remote/info

Get information about configured remote clusters. The API returns connection and endpoint information keyed by the configured remote cluster alias.


This API returns information that reflects current state on the local cluster. The connected field does not necessarily reflect whether a remote cluster is down or unavailable, only whether there is currently an open connection to it. Elasticsearch does not spontaneously try to reconnect to a disconnected remote cluster. To trigger a reconnection, attempt a cross-cluster search, ES|QL cross-cluster search, or try the resolve cluster endpoint.

Reroute the cluster Added in 5.0.0

POST /_cluster/reroute

Manually change the allocation of individual shards in the cluster. For example, a shard can be moved from one node to another explicitly, an allocation can be canceled, and an unassigned shard can be explicitly allocated to a specific node.

It is important to note that after processing any reroute commands Elasticsearch will perform rebalancing as normal (respecting the values of settings such as cluster.routing.rebalance.enable) in order to remain in a balanced state. For example, if the requested allocation includes moving a shard from node1 to node2 then this may cause a shard to be moved from node2 back to node1 to even things out.

The cluster can be set to disable allocations using the cluster.routing.allocation.enable setting. If allocations are disabled then the only allocations that will be performed are explicit ones given using the reroute command, and consequent allocations due to rebalancing.

The cluster will attempt to allocate a shard a maximum of index.allocation.max_retries times in a row (defaults to 5), before giving up and leaving the shard unallocated. This scenario can be caused by structural problems such as having an analyzer which refers to a stopwords file which doesn’t exist on all nodes.

Once the problem has been corrected, allocation can be manually retried by calling the reroute API with the ?retry_failed URI query parameter, which will attempt a single retry round for these shards.

Query parameters

  • dry_run boolean

    If true, then the request simulates the operation. It will calculate the result of applying the commands to the current cluster state and return the resulting cluster state after the commands (and rebalancing) have been applied; it will not actually perform the requested changes.

  • explain boolean

    If true, then the response contains an explanation of why the commands can or cannot run.

  • metric string | array[string]

    Limits the information returned to the specified metrics.

  • If true, then retries allocation of shards that are blocked due to too many subsequent allocation failures.

  • Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

Get the cluster state Added in 1.3.0

GET /_cluster/state

Get comprehensive information about the state of the cluster.

The cluster state is an internal data structure which keeps track of a variety of information needed by every node, including the identity and attributes of the other nodes in the cluster; cluster-wide settings; index metadata, including the mapping and settings for each index; the location and status of every shard copy in the cluster.

The elected master node ensures that every node in the cluster has a copy of the same cluster state. This API lets you retrieve a representation of this internal state for debugging or diagnostic purposes. You may need to consult the Elasticsearch source code to determine the precise meaning of the response.

By default the API will route requests to the elected master node since this node is the authoritative source of cluster states. You can also retrieve the cluster state held on the node handling the API request by adding the ?local=true query parameter.

Elasticsearch may need to expend significant effort to compute a response to this API in larger clusters, and the response may comprise a very large quantity of data. If you use this API repeatedly, your cluster may become unstable.

WARNING: The response is a representation of an internal data structure. Its format is not subject to the same compatibility guarantees as other more stable APIs and may change from version to version. Do not query this API using external monitoring tools. Instead, obtain the information you require using other more stable cluster APIs.

Query parameters

  • Whether to ignore if a wildcard indices expression resolves into no concrete indices. (This includes _all string or when no indices have been specified)

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Whether to expand wildcard expression to concrete indices that are open, closed or both.

  • Return settings in flat format (default: false)

  • Whether specified concrete indices should be ignored when unavailable (missing or closed)

  • local boolean

    Return local information, do not retrieve the state from master node (default: false)

  • Specify timeout for connection to master

  • Wait for the metadata version to be equal or greater than the specified metadata version

  • The maximum time to wait for wait_for_metadata_version before timing out

Its format is not subject to the same compatibility guarantees as other more stable APIs and may change from version to version. Do not query this API using external monitoring tools. Instead, obtain the information you require using other more stable cluster APIs.

Get the cluster state Added in 1.3.0

GET /_cluster/state/{metric}/{index}

Get comprehensive information about the state of the cluster.

The cluster state is an internal data structure which keeps track of a variety of information needed by every node, including the identity and attributes of the other nodes in the cluster; cluster-wide settings; index metadata, including the mapping and settings for each index; the location and status of every shard copy in the cluster.

The elected master node ensures that every node in the cluster has a copy of the same cluster state. This API lets you retrieve a representation of this internal state for debugging or diagnostic purposes. You may need to consult the Elasticsearch source code to determine the precise meaning of the response.

By default the API will route requests to the elected master node since this node is the authoritative source of cluster states. You can also retrieve the cluster state held on the node handling the API request by adding the ?local=true query parameter.

Elasticsearch may need to expend significant effort to compute a response to this API in larger clusters, and the response may comprise a very large quantity of data. If you use this API repeatedly, your cluster may become unstable.

Get cluster statistics Added in 1.3.0

GET /_cluster/stats

Get basic index metrics (shard numbers, store size, memory usage) and information about the current nodes that form the cluster (number, roles, os, jvm versions, memory usage, cpu and installed plugins).

Query parameters

  • Include remote cluster data into the response

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for each node to respond. If a node does not respond before its timeout expires, the response does not include its stats. However, timed out nodes are included in the response’s _nodes.failed property. Defaults to no timeout.

Reload the keystore on nodes in the cluster Added in 6.5.0

POST /_nodes/reload_secure_settings

Secure settings are stored in an on-disk keystore. Certain of these settings are reloadable. That is, you can change them on disk and reload them without restarting any nodes in the cluster. When you have updated reloadable secure settings in your keystore, you can use this API to reload those settings on each node.

When the Elasticsearch keystore is password protected and not simply obfuscated, you must provide the password for the keystore when you reload the secure settings. Reloading the settings for the whole cluster assumes that the keystores for all nodes are protected with the same password; this method is allowed only when inter-node communications are encrypted. Alternatively, you can reload the secure settings on each node by locally accessing the API and passing the node-specific Elasticsearch keystore password.

Query parameters

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

Get node statistics

GET /_nodes/stats/{metric}/{index_metric}

Get statistics for nodes in a cluster. By default, all stats are returned. You can limit the returned information by using metrics.

Path parameters

  • metric string | array[string] Required

    Limit the information returned to the specified metrics

  • index_metric string | array[string] Required

    Limit the information returned for indices metric to the specific index metrics. It can be used only if indices (or all) metric is specified.

Query parameters

  • completion_fields string | array[string]

    Comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in fielddata and suggest statistics.

  • fielddata_fields string | array[string]

    Comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in fielddata statistics.

  • fields string | array[string]

    Comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in the statistics.

  • groups boolean

    Comma-separated list of search groups to include in the search statistics.

  • If true, the call reports the aggregated disk usage of each one of the Lucene index files (only applies if segment stats are requested).

  • level string

    Indicates whether statistics are aggregated at the cluster, index, or shard level.

    Values are cluster, indices, or shards.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • types array[string]

    A comma-separated list of document types for the indexing index metric.

  • If true, the response includes information from segments that are not loaded into memory.
