Hot Threads API
editHot Threads API
editThe hot threads API gets the current hot threads for Logstash. A hot thread is a Java thread that has high CPU usage and executes for a longer than normal period of time.
curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/hot_threads?pretty'
The output is a JSON document that contains a breakdown of the top hot threads for Logstash.
Example response:
{
"hot_threads" : {
"time" : "2017-06-06T18:25:28-07:00",
"busiest_threads" : 3,

} ]
}
}
The parameters allowed are:
|
|
The number of hot threads to return. The default is 10. |
|
|
The depth of the stack trace to report for each thread. The default is 50. |
|
|
If true, returns plain text instead of JSON format. The default is false. |
|
|
If true, does not return idle threads. The default is true. |
See Common Options for a list of options that can be applied to all Logstash monitoring APIs.
You can use the ?human parameter to return the document in a human-readable format.
curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/hot_threads?human=true'
