Get the autoscaling capacity Added in 7.11.0

GET /_autoscaling/capacity

NOTE: This feature is designed for indirect use by Elasticsearch Service, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, and Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes. Direct use is not supported.

This API gets the current autoscaling capacity based on the configured autoscaling policy. It will return information to size the cluster appropriately to the current workload.

The required_capacity is calculated as the maximum of the required_capacity result of all individual deciders that are enabled for the policy.

The operator should verify that the current_nodes match the operator’s knowledge of the cluster to avoid making autoscaling decisions based on stale or incomplete information.

The response contains decider-specific information you can use to diagnose how and why autoscaling determined a certain capacity was required. This information is provided for diagnosis only. Do not use this information to make autoscaling decisions.

Get the cluster health status

GET /_cat/health

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 cluster health API. This API is often used to check malfunctioning clusters. To help you track cluster health alongside log files and alerting systems, the API returns timestamps in two formats: HH:MM:SS, which is human-readable but includes no date information; Unix epoch time, which is machine-sortable and includes date information. The latter format is useful for cluster recoveries that take multiple days. You can use the cat health API to verify cluster health across multiple nodes. You also can use the API to track the recovery of a large cluster over a longer period of time.

Query parameters

  • time string

    The unit used to display time values.

    Values are nanos, micros, ms, s, m, h, or d.

  • ts boolean

    If true, returns HH:MM:SS and Unix epoch timestamps.

  • h string | array[string]

    List of columns to appear in the response. Supports simple wildcards.

Get the cluster health status Added in 1.3.0

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.

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.
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • timeout string

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Values are green, GREEN, yellow, YELLOW, red, or RED.

Get the pending cluster tasks

GET /_cluster/pending_tasks

Get information about cluster-level changes (such as create index, update mapping, allocate or fail shard) that have not yet taken effect.

NOTE: This API returns a list of any pending updates to the cluster state. These are distinct from the tasks reported by the task management API which include periodic tasks and tasks initiated by the user, such as node stats, search queries, or create index requests. However, if a user-initiated task such as a create index command causes a cluster state update, the activity of this task might be reported by both task api and pending cluster tasks API.

Query parameters

  • local boolean

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

  • 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.

Reroute the cluster Added in 5.0.0

POST /_cluster/reroute

Manually change the allocation of individual shards in the cluster. For example, a shard can be moved from one node to another explicitly, an allocation can be canceled, and an unassigned shard can be explicitly allocated to a specific node.

It is important to note that after processing any reroute commands Elasticsearch will perform rebalancing as normal (respecting the values of settings such as cluster.routing.rebalance.enable) in order to remain in a balanced state. For example, if the requested allocation includes moving a shard from node1 to node2 then this may cause a shard to be moved from node2 back to node1 to even things out.

The cluster can be set to disable allocations using the cluster.routing.allocation.enable setting. If allocations are disabled then the only allocations that will be performed are explicit ones given using the reroute command, and consequent allocations due to rebalancing.

The cluster will attempt to allocate a shard a maximum of index.allocation.max_retries times in a row (defaults to 5), before giving up and leaving the shard unallocated. This scenario can be caused by structural problems such as having an analyzer which refers to a stopwords file which doesn’t exist on all nodes.

Once the problem has been corrected, allocation can be manually retried by calling the reroute API with the ?retry_failed URI query parameter, which will attempt a single retry round for these shards.

Query parameters

  • dry_run boolean

    If true, then the request simulates the operation. It will calculate the result of applying the commands to the current cluster state and return the resulting cluster state after the commands (and rebalancing) have been applied; it will not actually perform the requested changes.

  • explain boolean

    If true, then the response contains an explanation of why the commands can or cannot run.

  • metric string | array[string]

    Limits the information returned to the specified metrics.

  • If true, then retries allocation of shards that are blocked due to too many subsequent allocation failures.

  • 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.

  • timeout string

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

Get the cluster state Added in 1.3.0

GET /_cluster/state

Get comprehensive information about the state of the cluster.

The cluster state is an internal data structure which keeps track of a variety of information needed by every node, including the identity and attributes of the other nodes in the cluster; cluster-wide settings; index metadata, including the mapping and settings for each index; the location and status of every shard copy in the cluster.

The elected master node ensures that every node in the cluster has a copy of the same cluster state. This API lets you retrieve a representation of this internal state for debugging or diagnostic purposes. You may need to consult the Elasticsearch source code to determine the precise meaning of the response.

By default the API will route requests to the elected master node since this node is the authoritative source of cluster states. You can also retrieve the cluster state held on the node handling the API request by adding the ?local=true query parameter.

Elasticsearch may need to expend significant effort to compute a response to this API in larger clusters, and the response may comprise a very large quantity of data. If you use this API repeatedly, your cluster may become unstable.

WARNING: The response is a representation of an internal data structure. Its format is not subject to the same compatibility guarantees as other more stable APIs and may change from version to version. Do not query this API using external monitoring tools. Instead, obtain the information you require using other more stable cluster APIs.

Query parameters

  • Whether to ignore if a wildcard indices expression resolves into no concrete indices. (This includes _all string or when no indices have been specified)

  • 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.
  • Return settings in flat format (default: false)

  • Whether specified concrete indices should be ignored when unavailable (missing or closed)

  • local boolean

    Return local information, do not retrieve the state from master node (default: false)

  • Specify timeout for connection to master

  • Wait for the metadata version to be equal or greater than the specified metadata version

  • The maximum time to wait for wait_for_metadata_version before timing out

Get cluster repositories metering Technical preview

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.

Path parameters

  • node_id string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of node IDs or names used to limit returned information.

Forget a follower 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.

Unfollow an index Added in 6.5.0

POST /{index}/_ccr/unfollow

Convert a cross-cluster replication follower index to a regular index. The API stops the following task associated with a follower index and removes index metadata and settings associated with cross-cluster replication. The follower index must be paused and closed before you call the unfollow API.


Currently cross-cluster replication does not support converting an existing regular index to a follower index. Converting a follower index to a regular index is an irreversible operation.

Convert an index alias to a data stream Added in 7.9.0

POST /_data_stream/_migrate/{name}

Converts an index alias to a data stream. You must have a matching index template that is data stream enabled. The alias must meet the following criteria: The alias must have a write index; All indices for the alias must have a @timestamp field mapping of a date or date_nanos field type; The alias must not have any filters; The alias must not use custom routing. If successful, the request removes the alias and creates a data stream with the same name. The indices for the alias become hidden backing indices for the stream. The write index for the alias becomes the write index for the stream.

Path parameters

  • name string Required

    Name of the index alias to convert to a data stream.

Query parameters

  • 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.

Promote a data stream Added in 7.9.0

POST /_data_stream/_promote/{name}

Promote a data stream from a replicated data stream managed by cross-cluster replication (CCR) to a regular data stream.

With CCR auto following, a data stream from a remote cluster can be replicated to the local cluster. These data streams can't be rolled over in the local cluster. These replicated data streams roll over only if the upstream data stream rolls over. In the event that the remote cluster is no longer available, the data stream in the local cluster can be promoted to a regular data stream, which allows these data streams to be rolled over in the local cluster.

NOTE: When promoting a data stream, ensure the local cluster has a data stream enabled index template that matches the data stream. If this is missing, the data stream will not be able to roll over until a matching index template is created. This will affect the lifecycle management of the data stream and interfere with the data stream size and retention.

Path parameters

  • name string Required

    The name of the data stream

Query parameters

  • 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.
