Get Watcher index settings

edit

This API allows a user to retrieve the user-configurable settings for the Watcher internal index (.watches). Only a subset of the index settings—those that are user-configurable—will be shown. This includes:

  • index.auto_expand_replicas
  • index.number_of_replicas

An example of retrieving the Watcher settings:

resp = client.perform_request(
    "GET",
    "/_watcher/settings",
)
print(resp)
response = client.watcher.get_settings
puts response
const response = await client.transport.request({
  method: "GET",
  path: "/_watcher/settings",
});
console.log(response);
GET /_watcher/settings

The configurable settings can be modified using the Update Watcher index settings API.
