cat thread pool

edit

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.

GET /_cat/thread_pool

Which looks like:

Z6MkIvC bulk                0 0 0
Z6MkIvC fetch_shard_started 0 0 0
Z6MkIvC fetch_shard_store   0 0 0
Z6MkIvC flush               0 0 0
Z6MkIvC force_merge         0 0 0
Z6MkIvC generic             0 0 0
Z6MkIvC get                 0 0 0
Z6MkIvC index               0 0 0
Z6MkIvC listener            0 0 0
Z6MkIvC management          1 0 0
Z6MkIvC refresh             0 0 0
Z6MkIvC search              0 0 0
Z6MkIvC snapshot            0 0 0
Z6MkIvC warmer              0 0 0

The first column is the node name

node_name
Z6MkIvC

The second column is the thread pool name

name
bulk
fetch_shard_started
fetch_shard_store
flush
force_merge
generic
get
index
listener
management
refresh
search
snapshot
warmer

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

active queue rejected
     0     0        0
     0     0        0
     0     0        0

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.

GET /_cat/thread_pool/generic?v&h=id,name,active,rejected,completed

which looks like:

id                     name    active rejected completed
0EWUhXeBQtaVGlexUeVwMg generic      0        0        70

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

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