Cluster stats API

edit

Cluster stats API

edit

Returns cluster statistics.

Request

edit

GET /_cluster/stats

GET /_cluster/stats/nodes/<node_filter>

Prerequisites

edit

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

Description

edit

The Cluster Stats API allows to retrieve statistics from a cluster wide perspective. The API returns basic index metrics (shard numbers, store size, memory usage) and information about the current nodes that form the cluster (number, roles, os, jvm versions, memory usage, cpu and installed plugins).

Path parameters

edit

<node_filter>: (Optional, string) Comma-separated list of node filters used to limit returned information. Defaults to all nodes in the cluster.

Query parameters

edit

timeout: (Optional, time units) Period to wait for each node to respond. If a node does not respond before its timeout expires, the response does not include its stats. However, timed out nodes are included in the response’s _nodes.failed property. Defaults to no timeout.
include_remotes: (Optional, Boolean) If true, includes remote cluster information in the response. Defaults to false, so no remote cluster information is returned.

Response body

edit

_nodes

(object) Contains statistics about the number of nodes selected by the request’s node filters.

Properties of _nodes

total: (integer) Total number of nodes selected by the request.
successful: (integer) Number of nodes that responded successfully to the request.
failed: (integer) Number of nodes that rejected the request or failed to respond. If this value is not 0, a reason for the rejection or failure is included in the response.

(string) Unique identifier for the cluster.

timestamp

(integer) Unix timestamp, in milliseconds, of the last time the cluster statistics were refreshed.

status

(string) Health status of the cluster, based on the state of its primary and replica shards. Statuses are:

(object) Contains remote cluster settings and metrics collected from them. The keys are cluster names, and the values are per-cluster data. Only present if include_remotes option is set to true.

Properties of clusters

cluster_uuid

(string) The UUID of the remote cluster.

mode

(string) The connection mode used to communicate with the remote cluster.

skip_unavailable

(Boolean) The skip_unavailable setting used for this remote cluster.

transport.compress

(string) Transport compression setting used for this remote cluster.

version

(array of strings) The list of Elasticsearch versions used by the nodes on the remote cluster.

status

(string) Health status of the cluster, based on the state of its primary and replica shards. Statuses are:

green: All shards are assigned.
yellow: All primary shards are assigned, but one or more replica shards are unassigned. If a node in the cluster fails, some data could be unavailable until that node is repaired.
red: One or more primary shards are unassigned, so some data is unavailable. This can occur briefly during cluster startup as primary shards are assigned.

See Cluster health.

nodes_count

(integer) The total count of nodes in the remote cluster.

shards_count

(integer) The total number of shards in the remote cluster.

indices_count

(integer) The total number of indices in the remote cluster.

indices_total_size_in_bytes

(integer) Total data set size, in bytes, of all shards assigned to selected nodes.

indices_total_size

(string) Total data set size, in bytes, of all shards assigned to selected nodes, as a human-readable string.

max_heap_in_bytes

(integer) Maximum amount of memory, in bytes, available for use by the heap across the nodes of the remote cluster.

max_heap

(string) Maximum amount of memory, in bytes, available for use by the heap across the nodes of the remote cluster, as a human-readable string.

mem_total_in_bytes

(integer) Total amount, in bytes, of physical memory across the nodes of the remote cluster.

mem_total

(string) Total amount, in bytes, of physical memory across the nodes of the remote cluster, as a human-readable string.

_search

(object) Contains the information about the cross-cluster search usage in the cluster.

Properties of _search

total

(integer) The total number of cross-cluster search requests that have been executed by the cluster.

success

(integer) The total number of cross-cluster search requests that have been successfully executed by the cluster.

skipped

(integer) The total number of cross-cluster search requests (successful or failed) that had at least one remote cluster skipped.

took

(object) Contains statistics about the time taken to execute cross-cluster search requests.

Properties of took

max: (integer) The maximum time taken to execute a cross-cluster search request, in milliseconds.
avg: (integer) The median time taken to execute a cross-cluster search request, in milliseconds.
p90: (integer) The 90th percentile of the time taken to execute cross-cluster search requests, in milliseconds.

took_mrt_true

(object) Contains statistics about the time taken to execute cross-cluster search requests for which the ccs_minimize_roundtrips setting was set to true.

Properties of took_mrt_true

max: (integer) The maximum time taken to execute a cross-cluster search request, in milliseconds.
avg: (integer) The median time taken to execute a cross-cluster search request, in milliseconds.
p90: (integer) The 90th percentile of the time taken to execute cross-cluster search requests, in milliseconds.

took_mrt_false

(object) Contains statistics about the time taken to execute cross-cluster search requests for which the ccs_minimize_roundtrips setting was set to false.

Properties of took_mrt_false

max: (integer) The maximum time taken to execute a cross-cluster search request, in milliseconds.
avg: (integer) The median time taken to execute a cross-cluster search request, in milliseconds.
p90: (integer) The 90th percentile of the time taken to execute cross-cluster search requests, in milliseconds.

remotes_per_search_max

(integer) The maximum number of remote clusters that were queried in a single cross-cluster search request.

remotes_per_search_avg

(float) The average number of remote clusters that were queried in a single cross-cluster search request.

failure_reasons

(object) Contains statistics about the reasons for cross-cluster search request failures. The keys are the failure reason names and the values are the number of requests that failed for that reason.

features

(object) Contains statistics about the features used in cross-cluster search requests. The keys are the names of the search feature, and the values are the number of requests that used that feature. Single request can use more than one feature (e.g. both async and wildcard). Known features are:

async - Async search
mrt - ccs_minimize_roundtrips setting was set to true.
wildcard - Multi-target syntax for indices with wildcards was used in the search request.

clients

(object) Contains statistics about the clients that executed cross-cluster search requests. The keys are the names of the clients, and the values are the number of requests that were executed by that client. Only known clients (such as kibana or elasticsearch) are counted.

clusters

(object) Contains statistics about the clusters that were queried in cross-cluster search requests. The keys are cluster names, and the values are per-cluster telemetry data. This also includes the local cluster itself, which uses the name (local).

Properties of per-cluster data:

total

(integer) The total number of successful (not skipped) cross-cluster search requests that were executed against this cluster. This may include requests where partial results were returned, but not requests in which the cluster has been skipped entirely.

skipped

(integer) The total number of cross-cluster search requests for which this cluster was skipped.

took

(object) Contains statistics about the time taken to execute requests against this cluster.

Properties of took

max: (integer) The maximum time taken to execute a cross-cluster search request, in milliseconds.
avg: (integer) The median time taken to execute a cross-cluster search request, in milliseconds.
p90: (integer) The 90th percentile of the time taken to execute cross-cluster search requests, in milliseconds.

This API can be restricted to a subset of the nodes using node filters:

resp = client.cluster.stats(
    node_id="node1,node*,master:false",
)
print(resp)

response = client.cluster.stats(
  node_id: 'node1,node*,master:false'

puts response

const response = await client.cluster.stats({
  node_id: "node1,node*,master:false",
});
console.log(response);

GET /_cluster/stats/nodes/node1,node*,master:false

This API call will return data about the remote clusters if any are configured:

const response = await client.cluster.stats({
  include_remotes: "true",
});
console.log(response);

GET /_cluster/stats?include_remotes=true

The resulting response will contain the ccs object with information about the remote clusters:
