Analyze the disk usage of each field of an index or data stream. This API might not support indices created in previous Elasticsearch versions. The result of a small index can be inaccurate as some parts of an index might not be analyzed by the API.
NOTE: The total size of fields of the analyzed shards of the index in the response is usually smaller than the index store_size value because some small metadata files are ignored and some parts of data files might not be scanned by the API.
Since stored fields are stored together in a compressed format, the sizes of stored fields are also estimates and can be inaccurate.
The stored size of the _id field is likely underestimated while the _source field is overestimated.
For usage examples see the External documentation or refer to Analyze the index disk usage example for an example.
Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request. It’s recommended to execute this API with a single index (or the latest backing index of a data stream) as the API consumes resources significantly.
If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices.
This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices.
For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
Type of index that wildcard patterns can match.
If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams.
Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.
Supported values include:
all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.hidden: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined with open, closed, or both.none: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.Values are all, open, closed, hidden, or none.
If true, the API performs a flush before analysis.
If false, the response may not include uncommitted data.
Analyzing field disk usage is resource-intensive.
To use the API, this parameter must be set to true.
