Resolve the cluster | Elasticsearch API

Resolve the cluster Added in 8.13.0

GET /_resolve/cluster/{name}

Resolve the specified index expressions to return information about each cluster, including the local cluster, if included. Multiple patterns and remote clusters are supported.

This endpoint is useful before doing a cross-cluster search in order to determine which remote clusters should be included in a search.

You use the same index expression with this endpoint as you would for cross-cluster search. Index and cluster exclusions are also supported with this endpoint.

For each cluster in the index expression, information is returned about:

Whether the querying ("local") cluster is currently connected to each remote cluster in the index expression scope.
Whether each remote cluster is configured with skip_unavailable as true or false.
Whether there are any indices, aliases, or data streams on that cluster that match the index expression.
Whether the search is likely to have errors returned when you do the cross-cluster search (including any authorization errors if you do not have permission to query the index).
Cluster version information, including the Elasticsearch server version.

Path parameters

name string | array[string] Required

Comma-separated name(s) or index pattern(s) of the indices, aliases, and data streams to resolve. Resources on remote clusters can be specified using the <cluster>:<name> syntax.

Query parameters

allow_no_indices boolean

If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
expand_wildcards string | array[string]

Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden. Valid values are: all, open, closed, hidden, none.
ignore_throttled boolean

If true, concrete, expanded or aliased indices are ignored when frozen. Defaults to false.
ignore_unavailable boolean

If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index. Defaults to false.
