Authentication

The API accepts 3 different authentication methods:

Api key auth (http_api_key)

Elasticsearch APIs support key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example:

curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"

To get API keys, use the /_security/api_key APIs.

Basic auth (http)

Basic auth tokens are constructed with the Basic keyword, followed by a space, followed by a base64-encoded string of your username:password (separated by a : colon).

Example: send a Authorization: Basic aGVsbG86aGVsbG8= HTTP header with your requests to authenticate with the API.

Bearer auth (http)

Elasticsearch APIs support the use of bearer tokens in the Authorization HTTP header to authenticate with the API. For examples, refer to Token-based authentication services

GET /_cat/snapshots/{repository}

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /_cat/snapshots

GET /_cat/snapshots/{repository}

Get information about the snapshots stored in one or more repositories. A snapshot is a backup of an index or running Elasticsearch cluster. IMPORTANT: cat APIs are only intended for human consumption using the command line or Kibana console. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the get snapshot API.

Required authorization

  • Cluster privileges: monitor_snapshot

Path parameters

  • repository string | array[string] Required

    A comma-separated list of snapshot repositories used to limit the request. Accepts wildcard expressions. _all returns all repositories. If any repository fails during the request, Elasticsearch returns an error.

'IN_PROGRESS': The snapshot process started but has not completed. 'PARTIAL': The snapshot process completed with a partial success. 'SUCCESS': The snapshot process completed with a full success.
    • start_epoch (or ste, startEpoch): The unix epoch time at which the snapshot process started.
    • start_time (or sti, startTime): 'HH:MM:SS' time at which the snapshot process started.
    • end_epoch (or ete, endEpoch): The unix epoch time at which the snapshot process ended.
    • end_time (or eti, endTime): 'HH:MM:SS' time at which the snapshot process ended.
    • duration (or dur): The time it took the snapshot process to complete in time units.
    • indices (or i): The number of indices in the snapshot.
    • successful_shards (or ss): The number of successful shards in the snapshot.
    • failed_shards (or fs): The number of failed shards in the snapshot.
    • total_shards (or ts): The total number of shards in the snapshot.

Cluster

Explain the shard allocations Generally available; Added in 5.0.0

POST /_cluster/allocation/explain

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /_cluster/allocation/explain

POST /_cluster/allocation/explain

Get explanations for shard allocations in the cluster. For unassigned shards, it provides an explanation for why the shard is unassigned. For assigned shards, it provides an explanation for why the shard is remaining on its current node and has not moved or rebalanced to another node. This API can be very useful when attempting to diagnose why a shard is unassigned or why a shard continues to remain on its current node when you might expect otherwise.

Query parameters

  • include_disk_info boolean

    If true, returns information about disk usage and shard sizes.

  • include_yes_decisions boolean

    If true, returns YES decisions in explanation.

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Clear cluster voting config exclusions Generally available; Added in 7.0.0

DELETE /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions

Remove master-eligible nodes from the voting configuration exclusion list.

External documentation

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • wait_for_removal boolean

    Specifies whether to wait for all excluded nodes to be removed from the cluster before clearing the voting configuration exclusions list. Defaults to true, meaning that all excluded nodes must be removed from the cluster before this API takes any action. If set to false then the voting configuration exclusions list is cleared even if some excluded nodes are still in the cluster.

Get cluster-wide settings Generally available

GET /_cluster/settings

By default, it returns only settings that have been explicitly defined.

Required authorization

  • Cluster privileges: monitor
External documentation

Query parameters

  • flat_settings boolean

    If true, returns settings in flat format.

  • include_defaults boolean

    If true, also returns default values for all other cluster settings, reflecting the values in the elasticsearch.yml file of one of the nodes in the cluster. If the nodes in your cluster do not all have the same values in their elasticsearch.yml config files then the values returned by this API may vary from invocation to invocation and may not reflect the values that Elasticsearch uses in all situations. Use the GET _nodes/settings API to fetch the settings for each individual node in your cluster.

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Update the cluster settings Generally available

PUT /_cluster/settings

Configure and update dynamic settings on a running cluster. You can also configure dynamic settings locally on an unstarted or shut down node in elasticsearch.yml.

Updates made with this API can be persistent, which apply across cluster restarts, or transient, which reset after a cluster restart. You can also reset transient or persistent settings by assigning them a null value.

If you configure the same setting using multiple methods, Elasticsearch applies the settings in following order of precedence: 1) Transient setting; 2) Persistent setting; 3) elasticsearch.yml setting; 4) Default setting value. For example, you can apply a transient setting to override a persistent setting or elasticsearch.yml setting. However, a change to an elasticsearch.yml setting will not override a defined transient or persistent setting.

TIP: In Elastic Cloud, use the user settings feature to configure all cluster settings. This method automatically rejects unsafe settings that could break your cluster. If you run Elasticsearch on your own hardware, use this API to configure dynamic cluster settings. Only use elasticsearch.yml for static cluster settings and node settings. The API doesn’t require a restart and ensures a setting’s value is the same on all nodes.

WARNING: Transient cluster settings are no longer recommended. Use persistent cluster settings instead. If a cluster becomes unstable, transient settings can clear unexpectedly, resulting in a potentially undesired cluster configuration.

External documentation

Query parameters

  • flat_settings boolean

    Return settings in flat format (default: false)

  • master_timeout string

    Explicit operation timeout for connection to master node

    Values are -1 or 0.

In this example, the auto-creation of indices called `my-index-000001` or `index10` is allowed, the creation of indices that match the pattern `index1*` is blocked, and the creation of any other indices that match the `ind*` pattern is allowed. Patterns are matched in the order specified.

Get the cluster health status Generally available; Added in 1.3.0

GET /_cluster/health/{index}

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /_cluster/health

GET /_cluster/health/{index}

You can also use the API to get the health status of only specified data streams and indices. For data streams, the API retrieves the health status of the stream’s backing indices.

The cluster health status is: green, yellow or red. On the shard level, a red status indicates that the specific shard is not allocated in the cluster. Yellow means that the primary shard is allocated but replicas are not. Green means that all shards are allocated. The index level status is controlled by the worst shard status.

One of the main benefits of the API is the ability to wait until the cluster reaches a certain high watermark health level. The cluster status is controlled by the worst index status.

Required authorization

  • Cluster privileges: monitor,manage

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and index aliases used to limit the request. Wildcard expressions (*) are supported. To target all data streams and indices in a cluster, omit this parameter or use _all or *.

Query parameters

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Whether to expand wildcard expression to concrete indices that are open, closed or both.

    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.

  • level string

    Can be one of cluster, indices or shards. Controls the details level of the health information returned.

    Values are cluster, indices, or shards.

  • local boolean

    If true, the request retrieves information from the local node only. Defaults to false, which means information is retrieved from the master node.

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • wait_for_active_shards number | string

    A number controlling to how many active shards to wait for, all to wait for all shards in the cluster to be active, or 0 to not wait.

    Values are all or index-setting.

  • wait_for_events string

    Can be one of immediate, urgent, high, normal, low, languid. Wait until all currently queued events with the given priority are processed.

    Values are immediate, urgent, high, normal, low, or languid.

  • wait_for_nodes string | number

    The request waits until the specified number N of nodes is available. It also accepts >=N, <=N, >N and <N. Alternatively, it is possible to use ge(N), le(N), gt(N) and lt(N) notation.

  • wait_for_no_initializing_shards boolean

    A boolean value which controls whether to wait (until the timeout provided) for the cluster to have no shard initializations. Defaults to false, which means it will not wait for initializing shards.

  • wait_for_no_relocating_shards boolean

    A boolean value which controls whether to wait (until the timeout provided) for the cluster to have no shard relocations. Defaults to false, which means it will not wait for relocating shards.

  • wait_for_status string

    One of green, yellow or red. Will wait (until the timeout provided) until the status of the cluster changes to the one provided or better, i.e. green > yellow > red. By default, will not wait for any status.

    Supported values include:

    • green (or GREEN): All shards are assigned.
    • yellow (or 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 (or 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.

Get cluster repositories metering Technical preview; Added in 7.16.0

GET /_nodes/{node_id}/_repositories_metering

Get repositories metering information for a cluster. This API exposes monotonically non-decreasing counters and it is expected that clients would durably store the information needed to compute aggregations over a period of time. Additionally, the information exposed by this API is volatile, meaning that it will not be present after node restarts.

Required authorization

  • Cluster privileges: monitor,manage

Path parameters

  • node_id string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of node IDs or names used to limit returned information. For more information about the nodes selective options, refer to the node specification documentation.

Reload the keystore on nodes in the cluster Generally available; Added in 6.5.0

POST /_nodes/{node_id}/reload_secure_settings

All methods and paths for this operation:

POST /_nodes/reload_secure_settings

POST /_nodes/{node_id}/reload_secure_settings

Secure settings are stored in an on-disk keystore. Certain of these settings are reloadable. That is, you can change them on disk and reload them without restarting any nodes in the cluster. When you have updated reloadable secure settings in your keystore, you can use this API to reload those settings on each node.

When the Elasticsearch keystore is password protected and not simply obfuscated, you must provide the password for the keystore when you reload the secure settings. Reloading the settings for the whole cluster assumes that the keystores for all nodes are protected with the same password; this method is allowed only when inter-node communications are encrypted. Alternatively, you can reload the secure settings on each node by locally accessing the API and passing the node-specific Elasticsearch keystore password.

Path parameters

  • node_id string | array[string] Required

    The names of particular nodes in the cluster to target.

Query parameters

  • timeout string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Cluster - Health

Get the cluster health Generally available; Added in 8.7.0

GET /_health_report/{feature}

All methods and paths for this operation:

GET /_health_report

GET /_health_report/{feature}

Get a report with the health status of an Elasticsearch cluster. The report contains a list of indicators that compose Elasticsearch functionality.

Each indicator has a health status of: green, unknown, yellow or red. The indicator will provide an explanation and metadata describing the reason for its current health status.

The cluster’s status is controlled by the worst indicator status.

In the event that an indicator’s status is non-green, a list of impacts may be present in the indicator result which detail the functionalities that are negatively affected by the health issue. Each impact carries with it a severity level, an area of the system that is affected, and a simple description of the impact on the system.

Some health indicators can determine the root cause of a health problem and prescribe a set of steps that can be performed in order to improve the health of the system. The root cause and remediation steps are encapsulated in a diagnosis. A diagnosis contains a cause detailing a root cause analysis, an action containing a brief description of the steps to take to fix the problem, the list of affected resources (if applicable), and a detailed step-by-step troubleshooting guide to fix the diagnosed problem.

NOTE: The health indicators perform root cause analysis of non-green health statuses. This can be computationally expensive when called frequently. When setting up automated polling of the API for health status, set verbose to false to disable the more expensive analysis logic.

Path parameters

  • feature string | array[string] Required

    A feature of the cluster, as returned by the top-level health report API.

Query parameters

  • timeout string

    Explicit operation timeout.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • verbose boolean

    Opt-in for more information about the health of the system.

  • size number

    Limit the number of affected resources the health report API returns.

Update the connector features Technical preview

PUT /_connector/{connector_id}/_features

Update the connector features in the connector document. This API can be used to control the following aspects of a connector:

  • document-level security
  • incremental syncs
  • advanced sync rules
  • basic sync rules

Normally, the running connector service automatically manages these features. However, you can use this API to override the default behavior.

To sync data using self-managed connectors, you need to deploy the Elastic connector service on your own infrastructure. This service runs automatically on Elastic Cloud for Elastic managed connectors.

Path parameters

  • connector_id string Required

    The unique identifier of the connector to be updated.

Create a collection of cross-cluster replication auto-follow patterns for a remote cluster. Newly created indices on the remote cluster that match any of the patterns are automatically configured as follower indices. Indices on the remote cluster that were created before the auto-follow pattern was created will not be auto-followed even if they match the pattern.

This API can also be used to update auto-follow patterns. NOTE: Follower indices that were configured automatically before updating an auto-follow pattern will remain unchanged even if they do not match against the new patterns.

Path parameters

  • name string Required

    The name of the collection of auto-follow patterns.

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

    Values are -1 or 0.

application/json

Body Required

  • remote_cluster string Required

    The remote cluster containing the leader indices to match against.

  • follow_index_pattern string

    The name of follower index. The template {{leader_index}} can be used to derive the name of the follower index from the name of the leader index. When following a data stream, use {{leader_index}}; CCR does not support changes to the names of a follower data stream’s backing indices.

  • leader_index_patterns array[string]

    An array of simple index patterns to match against indices in the remote cluster specified by the remote_cluster field.

  • leader_index_exclusion_patterns array[string]

    An array of simple index patterns that can be used to exclude indices from being auto-followed. Indices in the remote cluster whose names are matching one or more leader_index_patterns and one or more leader_index_exclusion_patterns won’t be followed.

  • max_outstanding_read_requests number

    The maximum number of outstanding reads requests from the remote cluster.

    Default value is 12.

  • settings object

    Settings to override from the leader index. Note that certain settings can not be overrode (e.g., index.number_of_shards).

    • * object Additional properties
  • max_outstanding_write_requests number

    The maximum number of outstanding reads requests from the remote cluster.

    Default value is 9.

  • read_poll_timeout string

    The maximum time to wait for new operations on the remote cluster when the follower index is synchronized with the leader index. When the timeout has elapsed, the poll for operations will return to the follower so that it can update some statistics. Then the follower will immediately attempt to read from the leader again.

  • max_read_request_operation_count number

    The maximum number of operations to pull per read from the remote cluster.

    Default value is 5120.

  • max_read_request_size number | string

    The maximum size in bytes of per read of a batch of operations pulled from the remote cluster.

    One of:

    The maximum size in bytes of per read of a batch of operations pulled from the remote cluster.

  • max_retry_delay string

    The maximum time to wait before retrying an operation that failed exceptionally. An exponential backoff strategy is employed when retrying.

  • max_write_buffer_count number

    The maximum number of operations that can be queued for writing. When this limit is reached, reads from the remote cluster will be deferred until the number of queued operations goes below the limit.

    Default value is 2147483647.

  • max_write_buffer_size number | string

    The maximum total bytes of operations that can be queued for writing. When this limit is reached, reads from the remote cluster will be deferred until the total bytes of queued operations goes below the limit.

Forget a follower Generally available; Added in 6.7.0

POST /{index}/_ccr/forget_follower

Remove the cross-cluster replication follower retention leases from the leader.

A following index takes out retention leases on its leader index. These leases are used to increase the likelihood that the shards of the leader index retain the history of operations that the shards of the following index need to run replication. When a follower index is converted to a regular index by the unfollow API (either by directly calling the API or by index lifecycle management tasks), these leases are removed. However, removal of the leases can fail, for example when the remote cluster containing the leader index is unavailable. While the leases will eventually expire on their own, their extended existence can cause the leader index to hold more history than necessary and prevent index lifecycle management from performing some operations on the leader index. This API exists to enable manually removing the leases when the unfollow API is unable to do so.

NOTE: This API does not stop replication by a following index. If you use this API with a follower index that is still actively following, the following index will add back retention leases on the leader. The only purpose of this API is to handle the case of failure to remove the following retention leases after the unfollow API is invoked.

Pause an auto-follow pattern Generally available; Added in 7.5.0

POST /_ccr/auto_follow/{name}/pause

Pause a cross-cluster replication auto-follow pattern. When the API returns, the auto-follow pattern is inactive. New indices that are created on the remote cluster and match the auto-follow patterns are ignored.

You can resume auto-following with the resume auto-follow pattern API. When it resumes, the auto-follow pattern is active again and automatically configures follower indices for newly created indices on the remote cluster that match its patterns. Remote indices that were created while the pattern was paused will also be followed, unless they have been deleted or closed in the interim.

Required authorization

  • Cluster privileges: manage_ccr
External documentation

Path parameters

  • name string Required

    The name of the auto-follow pattern to pause.

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    The period to wait for a connection to the master node. If the master node is not available before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. It can also be set to -1 to indicate that the request should never timeout.

    Values are -1 or 0.
