Path parameters

  • name string Required

    the name of the autoscaling policy

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.

  • timeout string

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.

  • 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.

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.

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.
