Cluster stats APIedit

Returns cluster statistics.

Requestedit

GET /_cluster/stats

GET /_cluster/stats/nodes/<node_filter>

Prerequisitesedit

  • If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the monitor or manage cluster privilege to use this API.

Descriptionedit

The Cluster Stats API allows to retrieve statistics from a cluster wide perspective. The API returns basic index metrics (shard numbers, store size, memory usage) and information about the current nodes that form the cluster (number, roles, os, jvm versions, memory usage, cpu and installed plugins).

Path parametersedit

<node_filter>
(Optional, string) Comma-separated list of node filters used to limit returned information. Defaults to all nodes in the cluster.

Query parametersedit

timeout
(Optional, time units) Period to wait for each node to respond. If a node does not respond before its timeout expires, the response does not include its stats. However, timed out nodes are included in the response’s _nodes.failed property. Defaults to no timeout.

Response bodyedit

_nodes

(object) Contains statistics about the number of nodes selected by the request’s node filters.

Properties of _nodes
total
(integer) Total number of nodes selected by the request.
successful
(integer) Number of nodes that responded successfully to the request.
failed
(integer) Number of nodes that rejected the request or failed to respond. If this value is not 0, a reason for the rejection or failure is included in the response.
cluster_name
(string) Name of the cluster, based on the Cluster name setting setting.
cluster_uuid
(string) Unique identifier for the cluster.
timestamp
(integer) Unix timestamp, in milliseconds, of the last time the cluster statistics were refreshed.
status

(string) Health status of the cluster, based on the state of its primary and replica shards. Statuses are:

green
All shards are assigned.
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
One or more primary shards are unassigned, so some data is unavailable. This can occur briefly during cluster startup as primary shards are assigned.
