Get field data cache information

GET /_cat/fielddata/{fields}

Get the amount of heap memory currently used by the field data cache on every data node in the 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 nodes stats API.

Path parameters

  • fields string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of fields used to limit returned information. To retrieve all fields, omit this parameter.

Query parameters

  • bytes string

    The unit used to display byte values.

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

  • fields string | array[string]

    Comma-separated list of fields used to limit returned information.

Responses

  }

Get index information

GET /_cat/indices/{index}

Get high-level information about indices in a cluster, including backing indices for data streams.

Use this request to get the following information for each index in a cluster:

  • shard count
  • document count
  • deleted document count
  • primary store size
  • total store size of all shards, including shard replicas

These metrics are retrieved directly from Lucene, which Elasticsearch uses internally to power indexing and search. As a result, all document counts include hidden nested documents. To get an accurate count of Elasticsearch documents, use the cat count or count APIs.

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 an index endpoint.

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    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.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    The type of index that wildcard patterns can match.

  • health string

    The health status used to limit returned indices. By default, the response includes indices of any health status.

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

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

  • pri boolean

    If true, the response only includes information from primary shards.

  • time string

    The unit used to display time values.

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

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

Get master node information

GET /_cat/master

Get information about the master node, including the ID, bound IP address, and name.

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.

Query parameters

  • 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.
