Indices Recovery
editIndices Recovery
editThe indices recovery API provides insight into on-going index shard recoveries. Recovery status may be reported for specific indices, or cluster-wide.
For example, the following command would show recovery information for the indices "index1" and "index2".
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/index1,index2/_recovery
To see cluster-wide recovery status simply leave out the index names.
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/_recovery?pretty&human

The above response shows a single index recovering a single shard. In this case, the source of the recovery is a snapshot repository and the target of the recovery is the node with name "my_es_node".
Additionally, the output shows the number and percent of files recovered, as well as the number and percent of bytes recovered.
In some cases a higher level of detail may be preferable. Setting "detailed=true" will present a list of physical files in recovery.
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/_recovery?pretty&human&detailed=true

This response shows a detailed listing (truncated for brevity) of the actual files recovered and their sizes.
Also shown are the timings in milliseconds of the various stages of recovery: index retrieval, translog replay, and index start time.
Note that the above listing indicates that the recovery is in stage "done". All recoveries, whether on-going or complete, are kept in cluster state and may be reported on at any time. Setting "active_only=true" will cause only on-going recoveries to be reported.
Here is a complete list of options:

|
Display a detailed view. This is primarily useful for viewing the recovery of physical index files. Default: false. |
|
|
Display only those recoveries that are currently on-going. Default: false. |
