Get index statistics | Elasticsearch API documentation

Get index statistics Generally available; Added in 1.3.0

GET /{index}/_stats/{metric}

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /_stats

GET /{index}/_stats

GET /_stats/{metric}

GET /{index}/_stats/{metric}

For data streams, the API retrieves statistics for the stream's backing indices.

By default, the returned statistics are index-level with primaries and total aggregations. primaries are the values for only the primary shards. total are the accumulated values for both primary and replica shards.

To get shard-level statistics, set the level parameter to shards.

NOTE: When moving to another node, the shard-level statistics for a shard are cleared. Although the shard is no longer part of the node, that node retains any node-level statistics to which the shard contributed.

Required authorization

Index privileges: monitor

Path parameters

index string | array[string] Required

A comma-separated list of index names; use _all or empty string to perform the operation on all indices
metric string | array[string] Required

Limit the information returned the specific metrics.

Query parameters

completion_fields string | array[string]

Comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in fielddata and suggest statistics.
expand_wildcards string | array[string]
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.
fielddata_fields string | array[string]

Comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in fielddata statistics.
fields string | array[string]

Comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in the statistics.
forbid_closed_indices boolean

If true, statistics are not collected from closed indices.
groups string | array[string]

Comma-separated list of search groups to include in the search statistics.
include_segment_file_sizes boolean

If true, the call reports the aggregated disk usage of each one of the Lucene index files (only applies if segment stats are requested).
include_unloaded_segments boolean

If true, the response includes information from segments that are not loaded into memory.
level string

Indicates whether statistics are aggregated at the cluster, index, or shard level.

Values are cluster, indices, or shards.
