Node Stats APIedit

This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

The node stats API retrieves runtime stats about Logstash.

GET /_node/stats/<types>

Where <types> is optional and specifies the types of stats you want to return.

By default, all stats are returned. You can limit the info that’s returned by combining any of the following types in a comma-separated list:

jvm

Gets JVM stats, including stats about threads, memory usage, and garbage collectors.

process

Gets process stats, including stats about file descriptors, memory consumption, and CPU usage.

pipeline

Gets runtime stats about the Logstash pipeline.
