Examplesedit
Multiple indicesedit
The get settings API can be used to get settings for more than one index with a
single call. To get settings for all indices you can use _all for <index>.
Wildcard expressions are also supported. The following are some examples:
GET /twitter,kimchy/_settings GET /_all/_settings GET /log_2013_*/_settings
Filtering settings by nameedit
The settings that are returned can be filtered with wildcard matching as follows:
GET /log_2013_-*/_settings/index.number_*
