cat thread pool

The thread_pool command shows cluster wide thread pool statistics per node. By default the active, queue and rejected statistics are returned for all thread pools.

The first column is the node name

The second column is the thread pool name

The next three columns show the active, queue, and rejected statistics for each thread pool

The cat thread pool API accepts a thread_pool_patterns URL parameter for specifying a comma-separated list of regular expressions to match thread pool names.

% curl 'localhost:9200/_cat/thread_pool/generic?v&h=id,name,active,rejected,completed'
id                     name    active rejected completed
0EWUhXeBQtaVGlexUeVwMg generic      0        0        70

Here the host columns and the active, rejected and completed suggest thread pool statistic are displayed.

All built-in thread pools and custom thread pools are available.
