Cluster stats APIedit

Returns cluster statistics.

Requestedit

GET /_cluster/stats

GET /_cluster/stats/nodes/<node_filter>

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

flat_settings
(Optional, boolean) If true, returns settings in flat format. Defaults to false.
timeout
(Optional, time units) Specifies the period of time to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to 30s.

Response bodyedit

_nodes.total
(integer) Total number of nodes selected by the request’s node filters.
_nodes.successful
(integer) Number of nodes that responded successfully to the request.
_nodes.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.
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.

See Cluster health.
