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.
