Get the autoscaling capacity Added in 7.11.0

GET /_autoscaling/capacity

NOTE: This feature is designed for indirect use by Elasticsearch Service, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, and Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes. Direct use is not supported.

This API gets the current autoscaling capacity based on the configured autoscaling policy. It will return information to size the cluster appropriately to the current workload.

The required_capacity is calculated as the maximum of the required_capacity result of all individual deciders that are enabled for the policy.

The operator should verify that the current_nodes match the operator’s knowledge of the cluster to avoid making autoscaling decisions based on stale or incomplete information.

The response contains decider-specific information you can use to diagnose how and why autoscaling determined a certain capacity was required. This information is provided for diagnosis only. Do not use this information to make autoscaling decisions.

Query parameters

  • 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.

    A comma-separated list of node identifiers or names used to limit the returned information.

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.

Get index information

GET /_cat/indices

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.

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.

    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.

Get shard recovery information

GET /_cat/recovery

Get information about ongoing and completed shard recoveries. Shard recovery is the process of initializing a shard copy, such as restoring a primary shard from a snapshot or syncing a replica shard from a primary shard. When a shard recovery completes, the recovered shard is available for search and indexing. For data streams, the API returns information about the stream’s 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 recovery API.

Query parameters

  • If true, the response only includes ongoing shard recoveries.

  • bytes string

    The unit used to display byte values.

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

  • detailed boolean

    If true, the response includes detailed information about shard recoveries.

  • time string

    Unit used to display time values.

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

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.

curl \
 --request DELETE http://api.example.com/_cluster/voting_config_exclusions












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.

  • 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 state Added in 1.3.0

GET /_cluster/state/{metric}

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.

Path parameters

  • metric string | array[string] Required

    Limit the information returned to the specified metrics

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

Responses

  • 200 application/json

    Additional properties are allowed.

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.

Get cluster repositories metering Technical preview

GET /_nodes/{node_id}/_repositories_metering

Get repositories metering information for a cluster. This API exposes monotonically non-decreasing counters and it is expected that clients would durably store the information needed to compute aggregations over a period of time. Additionally, the information exposed by this API is volatile, meaning that it will not be present after node restarts.

Path parameters

  • node_id string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of node IDs or names used to limit returned information. All the nodes selective options are explained here.

Reload the keystore on nodes in the cluster Added in 6.5.0

POST /_nodes/{node_id}/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.

Path parameters

  • node_id string | array[string] Required

    The names of particular nodes in the cluster to target.

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 the cluster health Added in 8.7.0

GET /_health_report

Get a report with the health status of an Elasticsearch cluster. The report contains a list of indicators that compose Elasticsearch functionality.

Each indicator has a health status of: green, unknown, yellow or red. The indicator will provide an explanation and metadata describing the reason for its current health status.

The cluster’s status is controlled by the worst indicator status.

In the event that an indicator’s status is non-green, a list of impacts may be present in the indicator result which detail the functionalities that are negatively affected by the health issue. Each impact carries with it a severity level, an area of the system that is affected, and a simple description of the impact on the system.

Some health indicators can determine the root cause of a health problem and prescribe a set of steps that can be performed in order to improve the health of the system. The root cause and remediation steps are encapsulated in a diagnosis. A diagnosis contains a cause detailing a root cause analysis, an action containing a brief description of the steps to take to fix the problem, the list of affected resources (if applicable), and a detailed step-by-step troubleshooting guide to fix the diagnosed problem.

NOTE: The health indicators perform root cause analysis of non-green health statuses. This can be computationally expensive when called frequently. When setting up automated polling of the API for health status, set verbose to false to disable the more expensive analysis logic.

Query parameters

  • timeout string

    Explicit operation timeout.

  • verbose boolean

    Opt-in for more information about the health of the system.

  • size number

    Limit the number of affected resources the health report API returns.
