GET /_nodes/stats

GET /_nodes/<node_id>/stats

GET/_nodes/stats/<metric>

GET/_nodes/<node_id>/stats/<metric>

GET /_nodes/stats/<metric>/<index_metric>

Prerequisites

edit

If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the monitor or manage cluster privilege to use this API.

Description

edit

You can use the cluster nodes stats API to retrieve statistics for nodes in a cluster.

All the nodes selective options are explained here.

By default, all stats are returned. You can limit the returned information by using metrics.

Examples

edit

# return just indices
GET /_nodes/stats/indices

# return just os and process
GET /_nodes/stats/os,process

# return just process for node with IP address 10.0.0.1
GET /_nodes/10.0.0.1/stats/process

All stats can be explicitly requested via /_nodes/stats/_all or /_nodes/stats?metric=_all.

You can get information about indices stats on node, indices, or shards level.

# Fielddata summarized by node
GET /_nodes/stats/indices/fielddata?fields=field1,field2

# Fielddata summarized by node and index
GET /_nodes/stats/indices/fielddata?level=indices&fields=field1,field2

# Fielddata summarized by node, index, and shard
GET /_nodes/stats/indices/fielddata?level=shards&fields=field1,field2

# You can use wildcards for field names
GET /_nodes/stats/indices/fielddata?fields=field*

You can get statistics about search groups for searches executed on this node.

# All groups with all stats
GET /_nodes/stats?groups=_all

# Some groups from just the indices stats
GET /_nodes/stats/indices?groups=foo,bar

Retrieve ingest statistics only

edit

To return only ingest-related node statistics, set the <metric> path parameter to ingest and use the filter_path query parameter.

GET /_nodes/stats/ingest?filter_path=nodes.*.ingest

You can use the metric and filter_path query parameters to get the same response.

GET /_nodes/stats?metric=ingest&filter_path=nodes.*.ingest

To further refine the response, change the filter_path value. For example, the following request only returns ingest pipeline statistics.

GET /_nodes/stats?metric=ingest&filter_path=nodes.*.ingest.pipelines
