Resolves the specified name(s) and/or index patterns for indices, aliases, and data streams Added in 7.9.0
Multiple patterns and remote clusters are supported.
Path parameters
-
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
-
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
. -
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 targetingfoo*,bar*
returns an error if an index starts withfoo
but no index starts withbar
.
