editThe nodes command shows the cluster topology.

The first few columns tell you where your nodes live. For sanity it also tells you what version of ES and the JVM each one runs.

The next few give a picture of your heap, memory, and load.

The last columns provide ancillary information that can often be useful when looking at the cluster as a whole, particularly large ones. How many master-eligible nodes do I have? How many client nodes? It looks like someone restarted a node recently; which one was it?

Columns
editBelow is an exhaustive list of the existing headers that can be
passed to nodes?h= to retrieve the relevant details in ordered
columns. If no headers are specified, then those marked to Appear
by Default will appear. If any header is specified, then the defaults
are not used.
Aliases can be used in place of the full header name for brevity.
Columns appear in the order that they are listed below unless a
different order is specified (e.g., h=pid,id versus h=id,pid).
When specifying headers, the headers are not placed in the output
by default. To have the headers appear in the output, use verbose
mode (v). The header name will match the supplied value (e.g.,
pid versus p). For example:
% curl 192.168.56.10:9200/_cat/nodes?v&h=id,ip,port,v,m id ip port version m pLSN 192.168.56.30 9300 2.0.2 m k0zy 192.168.56.10 9300 2.0.2 m 6Tyi 192.168.56.20 9300 2.0.2 * % curl 192.168.56.10:9200/_cat/nodes?h=id,ip,port,v,m pLSN 192.168.56.30 9300 2.0.2 m k0zy 192.168.56.10 9300 2.0.2 m 6Tyi 192.168.56.20 9300 2.0.2 *
