http://api.example.comElasticsearch provides REST APIs that are used by the UI components and can be called directly to configure and access Elasticsearch features.
This documentation is derived from the main branch of the elasticsearch-specification repository. It is provided under license Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International.
This documentation contains work-in-progress information for future Elastic Stack releases.
Last update on Apr 16, 2025.
This API is provided under license Apache 2.0.
The API accepts 3 different authentication methods:
Elasticsearch APIs support key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example:
curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
-H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"
To get API keys, use the /_security/api_key APIs.
Basic auth tokens are constructed with the Basic keyword, followed by a space, followed by a base64-encoded string of your username:password
(separated by a : colon).
Example: send a Authorization: Basic aGVsbG86aGVsbG8=
HTTP header with your requests to authenticate with the API.
Elasticsearch APIs support the use of bearer tokens in the Authorization HTTP header to authenticate with the API.
For examples, refer to Token-based authentication services

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.

]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.

Values are nanos, micros, ms, s, m, h, or d.
If true, returns HH:MM:SS and Unix epoch timestamps.

]Get information about ongoing and completed shard recoveries. Shard recovery is the process of initializing a shard copy, such as restoring a primary shard from a snapshot or syncing a replica shard from a primary shard. When a shard recovery completes, the recovered shard is available for search and indexing. For data streams, the API returns information about the stream’s backing indices. 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 index recovery API.

}Update the cluster voting config exclusions by node IDs or node names. By default, if there are more than three master-eligible nodes in the cluster and you remove fewer than half of the master-eligible nodes in the cluster at once, the voting configuration automatically shrinks. If you want to shrink the voting configuration to contain fewer than three nodes or to remove half or more of the master-eligible nodes in the cluster at once, use this API to remove departing nodes from the voting configuration manually. The API adds an entry for each specified node to the cluster’s voting configuration exclusions list. It then waits until the cluster has reconfigured its voting configuration to exclude the specified nodes.
Clusters should have no voting configuration exclusions in normal operation.
Once the excluded nodes have stopped, clear the voting configuration exclusions with DELETE /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions.
This API waits for the nodes to be fully removed from the cluster before it returns.
If your cluster has voting configuration exclusions for nodes that you no longer intend to remove, use DELETE /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions?wait_for_removal=false to clear the voting configuration exclusions without waiting for the nodes to leave the cluster.
A response to POST /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions with an HTTP status code of 200 OK guarantees that the node has been removed from the voting configuration and will not be reinstated until the voting configuration exclusions are cleared by calling DELETE /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions.
If the call to POST /_cluster/voting_config_exclusions fails or returns a response with an HTTP status code other than 200 OK then the node may not have been removed from the voting configuration.
In that case, you may safely retry the call.
NOTE: Voting exclusions are required only when you remove at least half of the master-eligible nodes from a cluster in a short time period. They are not required when removing master-ineligible nodes or when removing fewer than half of the master-eligible nodes.
A comma-separated list of the names of the nodes to exclude from the voting configuration. If specified, you may not also specify node_ids.
A comma-separated list of the persistent ids of the nodes to exclude from the voting configuration. If specified, you may not also specify node_names.
Period to wait for a connection to the master node.
When adding a voting configuration exclusion, the API waits for the specified nodes to be excluded from the voting configuration before returning. If the timeout expires before the appropriate condition is satisfied, the request fails and returns an error.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Configure and update dynamic settings on a running cluster.
You can also configure dynamic settings locally on an unstarted or shut down node in elasticsearch.yml.
Updates made with this API can be persistent, which apply across cluster restarts, or transient, which reset after a cluster restart. You can also reset transient or persistent settings by assigning them a null value.
If you configure the same setting using multiple methods, Elasticsearch applies the settings in following order of precedence: 1) Transient setting; 2) Persistent setting; 3) elasticsearch.yml setting; 4) Default setting value.
For example, you can apply a transient setting to override a persistent setting or elasticsearch.yml setting.
However, a change to an elasticsearch.yml setting will not override a defined transient or persistent setting.
TIP: In Elastic Cloud, use the user settings feature to configure all cluster settings. This method automatically rejects unsafe settings that could break your cluster.
If you run Elasticsearch on your own hardware, use this API to configure dynamic cluster settings.
Only use elasticsearch.yml for static cluster settings and node settings.
The API doesn’t require a restart and ensures a setting’s value is the same on all nodes.
WARNING: Transient cluster settings are no longer recommended. Use persistent cluster settings instead. If a cluster becomes unstable, transient settings can clear unexpectedly, resulting in a potentially undesired cluster configuration.
Return settings in flat format (default: false)

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.

This API returns information that reflects current state on the local cluster.
The connected field does not necessarily reflect whether a remote cluster is down or unavailable, only whether there is currently an open connection to it.
Elasticsearch does not spontaneously try to reconnect to a disconnected remote cluster.
To trigger a reconnection, attempt a cross-cluster search, ES|QL cross-cluster search, or try the resolve cluster endpoint.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"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.
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.
If true, then the response contains an explanation of why the commands can or cannot run.
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.

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.
Whether to ignore if a wildcard indices expression resolves into no concrete indices. (This includes _all string or when no indices have been specified)
Whether to expand wildcard expression to concrete indices that are open, closed or both.

Specify timeout for connection to master

}Secure settings are stored in an on-disk keystore. Certain of these settings are reloadable. That is, you can change them on disk and reload them without restarting any nodes in the cluster. When you have updated reloadable secure settings in your keystore, you can use this API to reload those settings on each node.
When the Elasticsearch keystore is password protected and not simply obfuscated, you must provide the password for the keystore when you reload the secure settings. Reloading the settings for the whole cluster assumes that the keystores for all nodes are protected with the same password; this method is allowed only when inter-node communications are encrypted. Alternatively, you can reload the secure settings on each node by locally accessing the API and passing the node-specific Elasticsearch keystore password.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Get a report with the health status of an Elasticsearch cluster. The report contains a list of indicators that compose Elasticsearch functionality.
Each indicator has a health status of: green, unknown, yellow or red. The indicator will provide an explanation and metadata describing the reason for its current health status.
The cluster’s status is controlled by the worst indicator status.
In the event that an indicator’s status is non-green, a list of impacts may be present in the indicator result which detail the functionalities that are negatively affected by the health issue. Each impact carries with it a severity level, an area of the system that is affected, and a simple description of the impact on the system.
Some health indicators can determine the root cause of a health problem and prescribe a set of steps that can be performed in order to improve the health of the system. The root cause and remediation steps are encapsulated in a diagnosis. A diagnosis contains a cause detailing a root cause analysis, an action containing a brief description of the steps to take to fix the problem, the list of affected resources (if applicable), and a detailed step-by-step troubleshooting guide to fix the diagnosed problem.
NOTE: The health indicators perform root cause analysis of non-green health statuses. This can be computationally expensive when called frequently. When setting up automated polling of the API for health status, set verbose to false to disable the more expensive analysis logic.

Each indicator has a health status of: green, unknown, yellow or red. The indicator will provide an explanation and metadata describing the reason for its current health status.
The cluster’s status is controlled by the worst indicator status.
In the event that an indicator’s status is non-green, a list of impacts may be present in the indicator result which detail the functionalities that are negatively affected by the health issue. Each impact carries with it a severity level, an area of the system that is affected, and a simple description of the impact on the system.
Some health indicators can determine the root cause of a health problem and prescribe a set of steps that can be performed in order to improve the health of the system. The root cause and remediation steps are encapsulated in a diagnosis. A diagnosis contains a cause detailing a root cause analysis, an action containing a brief description of the steps to take to fix the problem, the list of affected resources (if applicable), and a detailed step-by-step troubleshooting guide to fix the diagnosed problem.
NOTE: The health indicators perform root cause analysis of non-green health statuses. This can be computationally expensive when called frequently. When setting up automated polling of the API for health status, set verbose to false to disable the more expensive analysis logic.
A feature of the cluster, as returned by the top-level health report API.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"The connector and sync jobs APIs provide a convenient way to create and manage Elastic connectors and sync jobs in an internal index.
Connectors are Elasticsearch integrations for syncing content from third-party data sources, which can be deployed on Elastic Cloud or hosted on your own infrastructure.
This API provides an alternative to relying solely on Kibana UI for connector and sync job management. The API comes with a set of validations and assertions to ensure that the state representation in the internal index remains valid.
This API requires the manage_connector privilege or, for read-only endpoints, the monitor_connector privilege.

}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.

}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.

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.

This reduces overhead and can greatly increase indexing speed.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:
create action, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege. Data streams support only the create action.index action, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.delete action, you must have the delete or write index privilege.update action, you must have the index or write index privilege.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.refresh parameter, you must have the maintenance or manage index privilege.Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
The actions are specified in the request body using a newline delimited JSON (NDJSON) structure:
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
....
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
The index and create actions expect a source on the next line and have the same semantics as the op_type parameter in the standard index API.
A create action fails if a document with the same ID already exists in the target
An index action adds or replaces a document as necessary.
NOTE: Data streams support only the create action.
To update or delete a document in a data stream, you must target the backing index containing the document.
An update action expects that the partial doc, upsert, and script and its options are specified on the next line.
A delete action does not expect a source on the next line and has the same semantics as the standard delete API.
NOTE: The final line of data must end with a newline character (\n).
Each newline character may be preceded by a carriage return (\r).
When sending NDJSON data to the _bulk endpoint, use a Content-Type header of application/json or application/x-ndjson.
Because this format uses literal newline characters (\n) as delimiters, make sure that the JSON actions and sources are not pretty printed.
If you provide a target in the request path, it is used for any actions that don't explicitly specify an _index argument.
A note on the format: the idea here is to make processing as fast as possible.
As some of the actions are redirected to other shards on other nodes, only action_meta_data is parsed on the receiving node side.
Client libraries using this protocol should try and strive to do something similar on the client side, and reduce buffering as much as possible.
There is no "correct" number of actions to perform in a single bulk request. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal size for your particular workload. Note that Elasticsearch limits the maximum size of a HTTP request to 100mb by default so clients must ensure that no request exceeds this size. It is not possible to index a single document that exceeds the size limit, so you must pre-process any such documents into smaller pieces before sending them to Elasticsearch. For instance, split documents into pages or chapters before indexing them, or store raw binary data in a system outside Elasticsearch and replace the raw data with a link to the external system in the documents that you send to Elasticsearch.
Client suppport for bulk requests
Some of the officially supported clients provide helpers to assist with bulk requests and reindexing:
esutil.BulkIndexerSearch::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Bulk and Search::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Scrollelasticsearch.helpers.*client.helpers.*BulkAllObservableSubmitting bulk requests with cURL
If you're providing text file input to curl, you must use the --data-binary flag instead of plain -d.
The latter doesn't preserve newlines. For example:
$ cat requests
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
$ curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson" -XPOST localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary "@requests"; echo
{"took":7, "errors": false, "items":[{"index":{"_index":"test","_id":"1","_version":1,"result":"created","forced_refresh":false}}]}
Optimistic concurrency control
Each index and delete action within a bulk API call may include the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters in their respective action and meta data lines.
The if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters control how operations are run, based on the last modification to existing documents. See Optimistic concurrency control for more details.
Versioning
Each bulk item can include the version value using the version field.
It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _version mapping.
It also support the version_type.
Routing
Each bulk item can include the routing value using the routing field.
It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _routing mapping.
NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.
Wait for active shards
When making bulk calls, you can set the wait_for_active_shards parameter to require a minimum number of shard copies to be active before starting to process the bulk request.
Refresh
Control when the changes made by this request are visible to search.
NOTE: Only the shards that receive the bulk request will be affected by refresh.
Imagine a _bulk?refresh=wait_for request with three documents in it that happen to be routed to different shards in an index with five shards.
The request will only wait for those three shards to refresh.
The other two shards that make up the index do not participate in the _bulk request at all.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
If true, the response will include the ingest pipelines that were run for each index or create.
The pipeline identifier to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, setting the value to _none turns off the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured, it will always run regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, wait for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, do nothing with refreshes.
Valid values: true, false, wait_for.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
Indicates whether to return the _source field (true or false) or contains a list of fields to return.
A comma-separated list of source fields to exclude from the response.
You can also use this parameter to exclude fields from the subset specified in _source_includes query parameter.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
A comma-separated list of source fields to include in the response.
If this parameter is specified, only these source fields are returned.
You can exclude fields from this subset using the _source_excludes query parameter.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
The period each action waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, and waiting for active shards.
The default is 1m (one minute), which guarantees Elasticsearch waits for at least the timeout before failing.
The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
Set to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default is 1, which waits for each primary shard to be active.
If true, the request's actions must target an index alias.
If true, the request's actions must target a data stream (existing or to be created).

}Perform multiple index, create, delete, and update actions in a single request.
This reduces overhead and can greatly increase indexing speed.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:
create action, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege. Data streams support only the create action.index action, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.delete action, you must have the delete or write index privilege.update action, you must have the index or write index privilege.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.refresh parameter, you must have the maintenance or manage index privilege.Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
The actions are specified in the request body using a newline delimited JSON (NDJSON) structure:
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
....
action_and_meta_data\n
optional_source\n
The index and create actions expect a source on the next line and have the same semantics as the op_type parameter in the standard index API.
A create action fails if a document with the same ID already exists in the target
An index action adds or replaces a document as necessary.
NOTE: Data streams support only the create action.
To update or delete a document in a data stream, you must target the backing index containing the document.
An update action expects that the partial doc, upsert, and script and its options are specified on the next line.
A delete action does not expect a source on the next line and has the same semantics as the standard delete API.
NOTE: The final line of data must end with a newline character (\n).
Each newline character may be preceded by a carriage return (\r).
When sending NDJSON data to the _bulk endpoint, use a Content-Type header of application/json or application/x-ndjson.
Because this format uses literal newline characters (\n) as delimiters, make sure that the JSON actions and sources are not pretty printed.
If you provide a target in the request path, it is used for any actions that don't explicitly specify an _index argument.
A note on the format: the idea here is to make processing as fast as possible.
As some of the actions are redirected to other shards on other nodes, only action_meta_data is parsed on the receiving node side.
Client libraries using this protocol should try and strive to do something similar on the client side, and reduce buffering as much as possible.
There is no "correct" number of actions to perform in a single bulk request. Experiment with different settings to find the optimal size for your particular workload. Note that Elasticsearch limits the maximum size of a HTTP request to 100mb by default so clients must ensure that no request exceeds this size. It is not possible to index a single document that exceeds the size limit, so you must pre-process any such documents into smaller pieces before sending them to Elasticsearch. For instance, split documents into pages or chapters before indexing them, or store raw binary data in a system outside Elasticsearch and replace the raw data with a link to the external system in the documents that you send to Elasticsearch.
Client suppport for bulk requests
Some of the officially supported clients provide helpers to assist with bulk requests and reindexing:
esutil.BulkIndexerSearch::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Bulk and Search::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Scrollelasticsearch.helpers.*client.helpers.*BulkAllObservableSubmitting bulk requests with cURL
If you're providing text file input to curl, you must use the --data-binary flag instead of plain -d.
The latter doesn't preserve newlines. For example:
$ cat requests
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
$ curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson" -XPOST localhost:9200/_bulk --data-binary "@requests"; echo
{"took":7, "errors": false, "items":[{"index":{"_index":"test","_id":"1","_version":1,"result":"created","forced_refresh":false}}]}
Optimistic concurrency control
Each index and delete action within a bulk API call may include the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters in their respective action and meta data lines.
The if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters control how operations are run, based on the last modification to existing documents. See Optimistic concurrency control for more details.
Versioning
Each bulk item can include the version value using the version field.
It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _version mapping.
It also support the version_type.
Routing
Each bulk item can include the routing value using the routing field.
It automatically follows the behavior of the index or delete operation based on the _routing mapping.
NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.
Wait for active shards
When making bulk calls, you can set the wait_for_active_shards parameter to require a minimum number of shard copies to be active before starting to process the bulk request.
Refresh
Control when the changes made by this request are visible to search.
NOTE: Only the shards that receive the bulk request will be affected by refresh.
Imagine a _bulk?refresh=wait_for request with three documents in it that happen to be routed to different shards in an index with five shards.
The request will only wait for those three shards to refresh.
The other two shards that make up the index do not participate in the _bulk request at all.
The name of the data stream, index, or index alias to perform bulk actions on.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
If true, the response will include the ingest pipelines that were run for each index or create.
The pipeline identifier to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, setting the value to _none turns off the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured, it will always run regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, wait for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, do nothing with refreshes.
Valid values: true, false, wait_for.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
Indicates whether to return the _source field (true or false) or contains a list of fields to return.
A comma-separated list of source fields to exclude from the response.
You can also use this parameter to exclude fields from the subset specified in _source_includes query parameter.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
A comma-separated list of source fields to include in the response.
If this parameter is specified, only these source fields are returned.
You can exclude fields from this subset using the _source_excludes query parameter.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
The period each action waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, and waiting for active shards.
The default is 1m (one minute), which guarantees Elasticsearch waits for at least the timeout before failing.
The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
Set to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default is 1, which waits for each primary shard to be active.
If true, the request's actions must target an index alias.
If true, the request's actions must target a data stream (existing or to be created).

}You can index a new JSON document with the /<target>/_doc/ or /<target>/_create/<_id> APIs
Using _create guarantees that the document is indexed only if it does not already exist.
It returns a 409 response when a document with a same ID already exists in the index.
To update an existing document, you must use the /<target>/_doc/ API.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:
PUT /<target>/_create/<_id> or POST /<target>/_create/<_id> request formats, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
Automatically create data streams and indices
If the request's target doesn't exist and matches an index template with a data_stream definition, the index operation automatically creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, the operation automatically creates the index and applies any matching index templates.
NOTE: Elasticsearch includes several built-in index templates. To avoid naming collisions with these templates, refer to index pattern documentation.
If no mapping exists, the index operation creates a dynamic mapping. By default, new fields and objects are automatically added to the mapping if needed.
Automatic index creation is controlled by the action.auto_create_index setting.
If it is true, any index can be created automatically.
You can modify this setting to explicitly allow or block automatic creation of indices that match specified patterns or set it to false to turn off automatic index creation entirely.
Specify a comma-separated list of patterns you want to allow or prefix each pattern with + or - to indicate whether it should be allowed or blocked.
When a list is specified, the default behaviour is to disallow.
NOTE: The action.auto_create_index setting affects the automatic creation of indices only.
It does not affect the creation of data streams.
Routing
By default, shard placement — or routing — is controlled by using a hash of the document's ID value.
For more explicit control, the value fed into the hash function used by the router can be directly specified on a per-operation basis using the routing parameter.
When setting up explicit mapping, you can also use the _routing field to direct the index operation to extract the routing value from the document itself.
This does come at the (very minimal) cost of an additional document parsing pass.
If the _routing mapping is defined and set to be required, the index operation will fail if no routing value is provided or extracted.
NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.
Distributed
The index operation is directed to the primary shard based on its route and performed on the actual node containing this shard. After the primary shard completes the operation, if needed, the update is distributed to applicable replicas.
Active shards
To improve the resiliency of writes to the system, indexing operations can be configured to wait for a certain number of active shard copies before proceeding with the operation.
If the requisite number of active shard copies are not available, then the write operation must wait and retry, until either the requisite shard copies have started or a timeout occurs.
By default, write operations only wait for the primary shards to be active before proceeding (that is to say wait_for_active_shards is 1).
This default can be overridden in the index settings dynamically by setting index.write.wait_for_active_shards.
To alter this behavior per operation, use the wait_for_active_shards request parameter.
Valid values are all or any positive integer up to the total number of configured copies per shard in the index (which is number_of_replicas+1).
Specifying a negative value or a number greater than the number of shard copies will throw an error.
For example, suppose you have a cluster of three nodes, A, B, and C and you create an index index with the number of replicas set to 3 (resulting in 4 shard copies, one more copy than there are nodes).
If you attempt an indexing operation, by default the operation will only ensure the primary copy of each shard is available before proceeding.
This means that even if B and C went down and A hosted the primary shard copies, the indexing operation would still proceed with only one copy of the data.
If wait_for_active_shards is set on the request to 3 (and all three nodes are up), the indexing operation will require 3 active shard copies before proceeding.
This requirement should be met because there are 3 active nodes in the cluster, each one holding a copy of the shard.
However, if you set wait_for_active_shards to all (or to 4, which is the same in this situation), the indexing operation will not proceed as you do not have all 4 copies of each shard active in the index.
The operation will timeout unless a new node is brought up in the cluster to host the fourth copy of the shard.
It is important to note that this setting greatly reduces the chances of the write operation not writing to the requisite number of shard copies, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility, because this check occurs before the write operation starts.
After the write operation is underway, it is still possible for replication to fail on any number of shard copies but still succeed on the primary.
The _shards section of the API response reveals the number of shard copies on which replication succeeded and failed.
The name of the data stream or index to target.
If the target doesn't exist and matches the name or wildcard (*) pattern of an index template with a data_stream definition, this request creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn’t match a data stream template, this request creates the index.
A unique identifier for the document.
To automatically generate a document ID, use the POST /<target>/_doc/ request format.

Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
Set to create to only index the document if it does not already exist (put if absent).
If a document with the specified _id already exists, the indexing operation will fail.
The behavior is the same as using the <index>/_create endpoint.
If a document ID is specified, this paramater defaults to index.
Otherwise, it defaults to create.
If the request targets a data stream, an op_type of create is required.
Values are index or create.
The ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents.

If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, it does nothing with refreshes.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
If true, the destination must be an index alias.
If true, the request's actions must target a data stream (existing or to be created).
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
The period the request waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards. Elasticsearch waits for at least the specified timeout period before failing. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the operation might not be available when the operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a gateway or undergoing relocation. By default, the operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for at least 1 minute before failing and responding with an error. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
The explicit version number for concurrency control. It must be a non-negative long number.
The version type.
Values are internal, external, external_gte, or force.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.

}Get a document and its source or stored fields from an index.
By default, this API is realtime and is not affected by the refresh rate of the index (when data will become visible for search).
In the case where stored fields are requested with the stored_fields parameter and the document has been updated but is not yet refreshed, the API will have to parse and analyze the source to extract the stored fields.
To turn off realtime behavior, set the realtime parameter to false.
Source filtering
By default, the API returns the contents of the _source field unless you have used the stored_fields parameter or the _source field is turned off.
You can turn off _source retrieval by using the _source parameter:
GET my-index-000001/_doc/0?_source=false
If you only need one or two fields from the _source, use the _source_includes or _source_excludes parameters to include or filter out particular fields.
This can be helpful with large documents where partial retrieval can save on network overhead
Both parameters take a comma separated list of fields or wildcard expressions.
For example:
GET my-index-000001/_doc/0?_source_includes=*.id&_source_excludes=entities
If you only want to specify includes, you can use a shorter notation:
GET my-index-000001/_doc/0?_source=*.id
Routing
If routing is used during indexing, the routing value also needs to be specified to retrieve a document. For example:
GET my-index-000001/_doc/2?routing=user1
This request gets the document with ID 2, but it is routed based on the user. The document is not fetched if the correct routing is not specified.
Distributed
The GET operation is hashed into a specific shard ID. It is then redirected to one of the replicas within that shard ID and returns the result. The replicas are the primary shard and its replicas within that shard ID group. This means that the more replicas you have, the better your GET scaling will be.
Versioning support
You can use the version parameter to retrieve the document only if its current version is equal to the specified one.
Internally, Elasticsearch has marked the old document as deleted and added an entirely new document. The old version of the document doesn't disappear immediately, although you won't be able to access it. Elasticsearch cleans up deleted documents in the background as you continue to index more data.
Indicates whether the request forces synthetic _source.
Use this paramater to test if the mapping supports synthetic _source and to get a sense of the worst case performance.
Fetches with this parameter enabled will be slower than enabling synthetic source natively in the index.
The node or shard the operation should be performed on. By default, the operation is randomized between the shard replicas.
If it is set to _local, the operation will prefer to be run on a local allocated shard when possible.
If it is set to a custom value, the value is used to guarantee that the same shards will be used for the same custom value.
This can help with "jumping values" when hitting different shards in different refresh states.
A sample value can be something like the web session ID or the user name.
If true, the request is real-time as opposed to near-real-time.
If true, the request refreshes the relevant shards before retrieving the document.
Setting it to true should be done after careful thought and verification that this does not cause a heavy load on the system (and slow down indexing).
A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
Indicates whether to return the _source field (true or false) or lists the fields to return.
A comma-separated list of source fields to exclude from the response.
You can also use this parameter to exclude fields from the subset specified in _source_includes query parameter.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
A comma-separated list of source fields to include in the response.
If this parameter is specified, only these source fields are returned.
You can exclude fields from this subset using the _source_excludes query parameter.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
A comma-separated list of stored fields to return as part of a hit.
If no fields are specified, no stored fields are included in the response.
If this field is specified, the _source parameter defaults to false.
Only leaf fields can be retrieved with the stored_field option.
Object fields can't be returned;if specified, the request fails.
The version number for concurrency control. It must match the current version of the document for the request to succeed.
The version type.
Values are internal, external, external_gte, or force.

}Add a JSON document to the specified data stream or index and make it searchable. If the target is an index and the document already exists, the request updates the document and increments its version.

Optimistic concurrency control
Index operations can be made conditional and only be performed if the last modification to the document was assigned the sequence number and primary term specified by the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters.
If a mismatch is detected, the operation will result in a VersionConflictException and a status code of 409.

For example, suppose you have a cluster of three nodes, A, B, and C and you create an index index with the number of replicas set to 3 (resulting in 4 shard copies, one more copy than there are nodes).
If you attempt an indexing operation, by default the operation will only ensure the primary copy of each shard is available before proceeding.
This means that even if B and C went down and A hosted the primary shard copies, the indexing operation would still proceed with only one copy of the data.
If wait_for_active_shards is set on the request to 3 (and all three nodes are up), the indexing operation will require 3 active shard copies before proceeding.
This requirement should be met because there are 3 active nodes in the cluster, each one holding a copy of the shard.
However, if you set wait_for_active_shards to all (or to 4, which is the same in this situation), the indexing operation will not proceed as you do not have all 4 copies of each shard active in the index.
The operation will timeout unless a new node is brought up in the cluster to host the fourth copy of the shard.
It is important to note that this setting greatly reduces the chances of the write operation not writing to the requisite number of shard copies, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility, because this check occurs before the write operation starts.
After the write operation is underway, it is still possible for replication to fail on any number of shard copies but still succeed on the primary.
The _shards section of the API response reveals the number of shard copies on which replication succeeded and failed.
No operation (noop) updates
When updating a document by using this API, a new version of the document is always created even if the document hasn't changed.
If this isn't acceptable use the _update API with detect_noop set to true.
The detect_noop option isn't available on this API because it doesn’t fetch the old source and isn't able to compare it against the new source.
There isn't a definitive rule for when noop updates aren't acceptable. It's a combination of lots of factors like how frequently your data source sends updates that are actually noops and how many queries per second Elasticsearch runs on the shard receiving the updates.
Versioning
Each indexed document is given a version number.
By default, internal versioning is used that starts at 1 and increments with each update, deletes included.
Optionally, the version number can be set to an external value (for example, if maintained in a database).
To enable this functionality, version_type should be set to external.
The value provided must be a numeric, long value greater than or equal to 0, and less than around 9.2e+18.
NOTE: Versioning is completely real time, and is not affected by the near real time aspects of search operations. If no version is provided, the operation runs without any version checks.
When using the external version type, the system checks to see if the version number passed to the index request is greater than the version of the currently stored document. If true, the document will be indexed and the new version number used. If the value provided is less than or equal to the stored document's version number, a version conflict will occur and the index operation will fail. For example:
PUT my-index-000001/_doc/1?version=2&version_type=external
{
"user": {
"id": "elkbee"
}
}
In this example, the operation will succeed since the supplied version of 2 is higher than the current document version of 1.
If the document was already updated and its version was set to 2 or higher, the indexing command will fail and result in a conflict (409 HTTP status code).
A nice side effect is that there is no need to maintain strict ordering of async indexing operations run as a result of changes to a source database, as long as version numbers from the source database are used.
Even the simple case of updating the Elasticsearch index using data from a database is simplified if external versioning is used, as only the latest version will be used if the index operations arrive out of order.
The name of the data stream or index to target.
If the target doesn't exist and matches the name or wildcard (*) pattern of an index template with a data_stream definition, this request creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, this request creates the index.
You can check for existing targets with the resolve index API.
A unique identifier for the document.
To automatically generate a document ID, use the POST /<target>/_doc/ request format and omit this parameter.
Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
Set to create to only index the document if it does not already exist (put if absent).
If a document with the specified _id already exists, the indexing operation will fail.
The behavior is the same as using the <index>/_create endpoint.
If a document ID is specified, this paramater defaults to index.
Otherwise, it defaults to create.
If the request targets a data stream, an op_type of create is required.
Values are index or create.
The ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, then setting the value to _none disables the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured it will always run, regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, it does nothing with refreshes.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
The period the request waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards.
This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the operation might not be available when the operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a gateway or undergoing relocation. By default, the operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for at least 1 minute before failing and responding with an error. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
An explicit version number for concurrency control. It must be a non-negative long number.
The version type.
Values are internal, external, external_gte, or force.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.
If true, the destination must be an index alias.

}Add a JSON document to the specified data stream or index and make it searchable. If the target is an index and the document already exists, the request updates the document and increments its version.
NOTE: You cannot use this API to send update requests for existing documents in a data stream.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:
PUT /<target>/_doc/<_id> request format, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.POST /<target>/_doc/ request format, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
NOTE: Replica shards might not all be started when an indexing operation returns successfully.
By default, only the primary is required. Set wait_for_active_shards to change this default behavior.
Automatically create data streams and indices
If the request's target doesn't exist and matches an index template with a data_stream definition, the index operation automatically creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, the operation automatically creates the index and applies any matching index templates.
NOTE: Elasticsearch includes several built-in index templates. To avoid naming collisions with these templates, refer to index pattern documentation.
If no mapping exists, the index operation creates a dynamic mapping. By default, new fields and objects are automatically added to the mapping if needed.
Automatic index creation is controlled by the action.auto_create_index setting.
If it is true, any index can be created automatically.
You can modify this setting to explicitly allow or block automatic creation of indices that match specified patterns or set it to false to turn off automatic index creation entirely.
Specify a comma-separated list of patterns you want to allow or prefix each pattern with + or - to indicate whether it should be allowed or blocked.
When a list is specified, the default behaviour is to disallow.
NOTE: The action.auto_create_index setting affects the automatic creation of indices only.
It does not affect the creation of data streams.
Optimistic concurrency control
Index operations can be made conditional and only be performed if the last modification to the document was assigned the sequence number and primary term specified by the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters.
If a mismatch is detected, the operation will result in a VersionConflictException and a status code of 409.
Routing
By default, shard placement — or routing — is controlled by using a hash of the document's ID value.
For more explicit control, the value fed into the hash function used by the router can be directly specified on a per-operation basis using the routing parameter.
When setting up explicit mapping, you can also use the _routing field to direct the index operation to extract the routing value from the document itself.
This does come at the (very minimal) cost of an additional document parsing pass.
If the _routing mapping is defined and set to be required, the index operation will fail if no routing value is provided or extracted.
NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.
Distributed
The index operation is directed to the primary shard based on its route and performed on the actual node containing this shard. After the primary shard completes the operation, if needed, the update is distributed to applicable replicas.
Active shards
To improve the resiliency of writes to the system, indexing operations can be configured to wait for a certain number of active shard copies before proceeding with the operation.
If the requisite number of active shard copies are not available, then the write operation must wait and retry, until either the requisite shard copies have started or a timeout occurs.
By default, write operations only wait for the primary shards to be active before proceeding (that is to say wait_for_active_shards is 1).
This default can be overridden in the index settings dynamically by setting index.write.wait_for_active_shards.
To alter this behavior per operation, use the wait_for_active_shards request parameter.
Valid values are all or any positive integer up to the total number of configured copies per shard in the index (which is number_of_replicas+1).
Specifying a negative value or a number greater than the number of shard copies will throw an error.
For example, suppose you have a cluster of three nodes, A, B, and C and you create an index index with the number of replicas set to 3 (resulting in 4 shard copies, one more copy than there are nodes).
If you attempt an indexing operation, by default the operation will only ensure the primary copy of each shard is available before proceeding.
This means that even if B and C went down and A hosted the primary shard copies, the indexing operation would still proceed with only one copy of the data.
If wait_for_active_shards is set on the request to 3 (and all three nodes are up), the indexing operation will require 3 active shard copies before proceeding.
This requirement should be met because there are 3 active nodes in the cluster, each one holding a copy of the shard.
However, if you set wait_for_active_shards to all (or to 4, which is the same in this situation), the indexing operation will not proceed as you do not have all 4 copies of each shard active in the index.
The operation will timeout unless a new node is brought up in the cluster to host the fourth copy of the shard.
It is important to note that this setting greatly reduces the chances of the write operation not writing to the requisite number of shard copies, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility, because this check occurs before the write operation starts.
After the write operation is underway, it is still possible for replication to fail on any number of shard copies but still succeed on the primary.
The _shards section of the API response reveals the number of shard copies on which replication succeeded and failed.

}Remove a JSON document from the specified index.
NOTE: You cannot send deletion requests directly to a data stream. To delete a document in a data stream, you must target the backing index containing the document.
Optimistic concurrency control
Delete operations can be made conditional and only be performed if the last modification to the document was assigned the sequence number and primary term specified by the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters.
If a mismatch is detected, the operation will result in a VersionConflictException and a status code of 409.
Versioning
Each document indexed is versioned.
When deleting a document, the version can be specified to make sure the relevant document you are trying to delete is actually being deleted and it has not changed in the meantime.
Every write operation run on a document, deletes included, causes its version to be incremented.
The version number of a deleted document remains available for a short time after deletion to allow for control of concurrent operations.
The length of time for which a deleted document's version remains available is determined by the index.gc_deletes index setting.
Routing
If routing is used during indexing, the routing value also needs to be specified to delete a document.
If the _routing mapping is set to required and no routing value is specified, the delete API throws a RoutingMissingException and rejects the request.
For example:
DELETE /my-index-000001/_doc/1?routing=shard-1
This request deletes the document with ID 1, but it is routed based on the user. The document is not deleted if the correct routing is not specified.
Distributed
The delete operation gets hashed into a specific shard ID. It then gets redirected into the primary shard within that ID group and replicated (if needed) to shard replicas within that ID group.
Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, it does nothing with refreshes.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.

An explicit version number for concurrency control. It must match the current version of the document for the request to succeed.
The version type.
Values are internal, external, external_gte, or force.
The minimum number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.

}Verify that a document exists.
For example, check to see if a document with the _id 0 exists:
HEAD my-index-000001/_doc/0
If the document exists, the API returns a status code of 200 - OK.
If the document doesn’t exist, the API returns 404 - Not Found.
Versioning support
You can use the version parameter to check the document only if its current version is equal to the specified one.
Internally, Elasticsearch has marked the old document as deleted and added an entirely new document. The old version of the document doesn't disappear immediately, although you won't be able to access it. Elasticsearch cleans up deleted documents in the background as you continue to index more data.
The node or shard the operation should be performed on. By default, the operation is randomized between the shard replicas.
If it is set to _local, the operation will prefer to be run on a local allocated shard when possible.
If it is set to a custom value, the value is used to guarantee that the same shards will be used for the same custom value.
This can help with "jumping values" when hitting different shards in different refresh states.
A sample value can be something like the web session ID or the user name.
If true, the request is real-time as opposed to near-real-time.
If true, the request refreshes the relevant shards before retrieving the document.
Setting it to true should be done after careful thought and verification that this does not cause a heavy load on the system (and slow down indexing).
A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
Indicates whether to return the _source field (true or false) or lists the fields to return.
A comma-separated list of source fields to exclude from the response.
You can also use this parameter to exclude fields from the subset specified in _source_includes query parameter.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
A comma-separated list of source fields to include in the response.
If this parameter is specified, only these source fields are returned.
You can exclude fields from this subset using the _source_excludes query parameter.
If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
A comma-separated list of stored fields to return as part of a hit.
If no fields are specified, no stored fields are included in the response.
If this field is specified, the _source parameter defaults to false.
Explicit version number for concurrency control. The specified version must match the current version of the document for the request to succeed.
The version type.
Values are internal, external, external_gte, or force.

Deletes documents that match the specified query.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or alias:
readdelete or writeYou can specify the query criteria in the request URI or the request body using the same syntax as the search API. When you submit a delete by query request, Elasticsearch gets a snapshot of the data stream or index when it begins processing the request and deletes matching documents using internal versioning. If a document changes between the time that the snapshot is taken and the delete operation is processed, it results in a version conflict and the delete operation fails.
NOTE: Documents with a version equal to 0 cannot be deleted using delete by query because internal versioning does not support 0 as a valid version number.
While processing a delete by query request, Elasticsearch performs multiple search requests sequentially to find all of the matching documents to delete. A bulk delete request is performed for each batch of matching documents. If a search or bulk request is rejected, the requests are retried up to 10 times, with exponential back off. If the maximum retry limit is reached, processing halts and all failed requests are returned in the response. Any delete requests that completed successfully still stick, they are not rolled back.
You can opt to count version conflicts instead of halting and returning by setting conflicts to proceed.
Note that if you opt to count version conflicts the operation could attempt to delete more documents from the source than max_docs until it has successfully deleted max_docs documents, or it has gone through every document in the source query.
Throttling delete requests
To control the rate at which delete by query issues batches of delete operations, you can set requests_per_second to any positive decimal number.
This pads each batch with a wait time to throttle the rate.
Set requests_per_second to -1 to disable throttling.
Throttling uses a wait time between batches so that the internal scroll requests can be given a timeout that takes the request padding into account.
The padding time is the difference between the batch size divided by the requests_per_second and the time spent writing.
By default the batch size is 1000, so if requests_per_second is set to 500:
target_time = 1000 / 500 per second = 2 seconds
wait_time = target_time - write_time = 2 seconds - .5 seconds = 1.5 seconds
Since the batch is issued as a single _bulk request, large batch sizes cause Elasticsearch to create many requests and wait before starting the next set.
This is "bursty" instead of "smooth".
Slicing
Delete by query supports sliced scroll to parallelize the delete process. This can improve efficiency and provide a convenient way to break the request down into smaller parts.
Setting slices to auto lets Elasticsearch choose the number of slices to use.
This setting will use one slice per shard, up to a certain limit.
If there are multiple source data streams or indices, it will choose the number of slices based on the index or backing index with the smallest number of shards.
Adding slices to the delete by query operation creates sub-requests which means it has some quirks:
slices will rethrottle the unfinished sub-request proportionally.slices will cancel each sub-request.slices each sub-request won't get a perfectly even portion of the documents. All documents will be addressed, but some slices may be larger than others. Expect larger slices to have a more even distribution.requests_per_second and max_docs on a request with slices are distributed proportionally to each sub-request. Combine that with the earlier point about distribution being uneven and you should conclude that using max_docs with slices might not result in exactly max_docs documents being deleted.If you're slicing manually or otherwise tuning automatic slicing, keep in mind that:
slices hurts performance. Setting slices higher than the number of shards generally does not improve efficiency and adds overhead.Whether query or delete performance dominates the runtime depends on the documents being reindexed and cluster resources.
Cancel a delete by query operation
Any delete by query can be canceled using the task cancel API. For example:
POST _tasks/r1A2WoRbTwKZ516z6NEs5A:36619/_cancel
The task ID can be found by using the get tasks API.
Cancellation should happen quickly but might take a few seconds. The get task status API will continue to list the delete by query task until this task checks that it has been cancelled and terminates itself.
A comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases to search.
It supports wildcards (*).
To search all data streams or indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.
If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices.
This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices.
For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
Analyzer to use for the query string.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
If true, wildcard and prefix queries are analyzed.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
What to do if delete by query hits version conflicts: abort or proceed.
Values are abort or proceed.
The default operator for query string query: AND or OR.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
Values are and, AND, or, or OR.
The field to use as default where no field prefix is given in the query string.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
The type of index that wildcard patterns can match.
If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams.
It supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.
Skips the specified number of documents.
If true, format-based query failures (such as providing text to a numeric field) in the query string will be ignored.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
The maximum number of documents to process.
Defaults to all documents.
When set to a value less then or equal to scroll_size, a scroll will not be used to retrieve the results for the operation.
The node or shard the operation should be performed on. It is random by default.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes all shards involved in the delete by query after the request completes.
This is different than the delete API's refresh parameter, which causes just the shard that received the delete request to be refreshed.
Unlike the delete API, it does not support wait_for.
If true, the request cache is used for this request.
Defaults to the index-level setting.
The throttle for this request in sub-requests per second.
A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
A query in the Lucene query string syntax.
The period to retain the search context for scrolling.
The size of the scroll request that powers the operation.
The explicit timeout for each search request. It defaults to no timeout.
The type of the search operation.
Available options include query_then_fetch and dfs_query_then_fetch.
Values are query_then_fetch or dfs_query_then_fetch.
The number of slices this task should be divided into.
A comma-separated list of <field>:<direction> pairs.
The specific tag of the request for logging and statistical purposes.
The maximum number of documents to collect for each shard. If a query reaches this limit, Elasticsearch terminates the query early. Elasticsearch collects documents before sorting.
Use with caution. Elasticsearch applies this parameter to each shard handling the request. When possible, let Elasticsearch perform early termination automatically. Avoid specifying this parameter for requests that target data streams with backing indices across multiple data tiers.
The period each deletion request waits for active shards.
If true, returns the document version as part of a hit.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
Set to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The timeout value controls how long each write request waits for unavailable shards to become available.
If true, the request blocks until the operation is complete.
If false, Elasticsearch performs some preflight checks, launches the request, and returns a task you can use to cancel or get the status of the task. Elasticsearch creates a record of this task as a document at .tasks/task/${taskId}. When you are done with a task, you should delete the task document so Elasticsearch can reclaim the space.
The maximum number of documents to delete.
An Elasticsearch Query DSL (Domain Specific Language) object that defines a query.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Add a JSON document to the specified data stream or index and make it searchable. If the target is an index and the document already exists, the request updates the document and increments its version.
NOTE: You cannot use this API to send update requests for existing documents in a data stream.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:
PUT /<target>/_doc/<_id> request format, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.POST /<target>/_doc/ request format, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
NOTE: Replica shards might not all be started when an indexing operation returns successfully.
By default, only the primary is required. Set wait_for_active_shards to change this default behavior.
Automatically create data streams and indices
If the request's target doesn't exist and matches an index template with a data_stream definition, the index operation automatically creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, the operation automatically creates the index and applies any matching index templates.
NOTE: Elasticsearch includes several built-in index templates. To avoid naming collisions with these templates, refer to index pattern documentation.
If no mapping exists, the index operation creates a dynamic mapping. By default, new fields and objects are automatically added to the mapping if needed.
Automatic index creation is controlled by the action.auto_create_index setting.
If it is true, any index can be created automatically.
You can modify this setting to explicitly allow or block automatic creation of indices that match specified patterns or set it to false to turn off automatic index creation entirely.
Specify a comma-separated list of patterns you want to allow or prefix each pattern with + or - to indicate whether it should be allowed or blocked.
When a list is specified, the default behaviour is to disallow.
NOTE: The action.auto_create_index setting affects the automatic creation of indices only.
It does not affect the creation of data streams.
Optimistic concurrency control
Index operations can be made conditional and only be performed if the last modification to the document was assigned the sequence number and primary term specified by the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters.
If a mismatch is detected, the operation will result in a VersionConflictException and a status code of 409.
Routing
By default, shard placement — or routing — is controlled by using a hash of the document's ID value.
For more explicit control, the value fed into the hash function used by the router can be directly specified on a per-operation basis using the routing parameter.
When setting up explicit mapping, you can also use the _routing field to direct the index operation to extract the routing value from the document itself.
This does come at the (very minimal) cost of an additional document parsing pass.
If the _routing mapping is defined and set to be required, the index operation will fail if no routing value is provided or extracted.
NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.
Distributed
The index operation is directed to the primary shard based on its route and performed on the actual node containing this shard. After the primary shard completes the operation, if needed, the update is distributed to applicable replicas.
Active shards
To improve the resiliency of writes to the system, indexing operations can be configured to wait for a certain number of active shard copies before proceeding with the operation.
If the requisite number of active shard copies are not available, then the write operation must wait and retry, until either the requisite shard copies have started or a timeout occurs.
By default, write operations only wait for the primary shards to be active before proceeding (that is to say wait_for_active_shards is 1).
This default can be overridden in the index settings dynamically by setting index.write.wait_for_active_shards.
To alter this behavior per operation, use the wait_for_active_shards request parameter.
Valid values are all or any positive integer up to the total number of configured copies per shard in the index (which is number_of_replicas+1).
Specifying a negative value or a number greater than the number of shard copies will throw an error.
For example, suppose you have a cluster of three nodes, A, B, and C and you create an index index with the number of replicas set to 3 (resulting in 4 shard copies, one more copy than there are nodes).
If you attempt an indexing operation, by default the operation will only ensure the primary copy of each shard is available before proceeding.
This means that even if B and C went down and A hosted the primary shard copies, the indexing operation would still proceed with only one copy of the data.
If wait_for_active_shards is set on the request to 3 (and all three nodes are up), the indexing operation will require 3 active shard copies before proceeding.
This requirement should be met because there are 3 active nodes in the cluster, each one holding a copy of the shard.
However, if you set wait_for_active_shards to all (or to 4, which is the same in this situation), the indexing operation will not proceed as you do not have all 4 copies of each shard active in the index.
The operation will timeout unless a new node is brought up in the cluster to host the fourth copy of the shard.
It is important to note that this setting greatly reduces the chances of the write operation not writing to the requisite number of shard copies, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility, because this check occurs before the write operation starts.
After the write operation is underway, it is still possible for replication to fail on any number of shard copies but still succeed on the primary.
The _shards section of the API response reveals the number of shard copies on which replication succeeded and failed.
No operation (noop) updates
When updating a document by using this API, a new version of the document is always created even if the document hasn't changed.
If this isn't acceptable use the _update API with detect_noop set to true.
The detect_noop option isn't available on this API because it doesn’t fetch the old source and isn't able to compare it against the new source.
There isn't a definitive rule for when noop updates aren't acceptable. It's a combination of lots of factors like how frequently your data source sends updates that are actually noops and how many queries per second Elasticsearch runs on the shard receiving the updates.
Versioning
Each indexed document is given a version number.
By default, internal versioning is used that starts at 1 and increments with each update, deletes included.
Optionally, the version number can be set to an external value (for example, if maintained in a database).
To enable this functionality, version_type should be set to external.
The value provided must be a numeric, long value greater than or equal to 0, and less than around 9.2e+18.
NOTE: Versioning is completely real time, and is not affected by the near real time aspects of search operations. If no version is provided, the operation runs without any version checks.
When using the external version type, the system checks to see if the version number passed to the index request is greater than the version of the currently stored document. If true, the document will be indexed and the new version number used. If the value provided is less than or equal to the stored document's version number, a version conflict will occur and the index operation will fail. For example:
PUT my-index-000001/_doc/1?version=2&version_type=external
{
"user": {
"id": "elkbee"
}
}
In this example, the operation will succeed since the supplied version of 2 is higher than the current document version of 1.
If the document was already updated and its version was set to 2 or higher, the indexing command will fail and result in a conflict (409 HTTP status code).
A nice side effect is that there is no need to maintain strict ordering of async indexing operations run as a result of changes to a source database, as long as version numbers from the source database are used.
Even the simple case of updating the Elasticsearch index using data from a database is simplified if external versioning is used, as only the latest version will be used if the index operations arrive out of order.
The name of the data stream or index to target.
If the target doesn't exist and matches the name or wildcard (*) pattern of an index template with a data_stream definition, this request creates the data stream.
If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, this request creates the index.
You can check for existing targets with the resolve index API.
Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
Set to create to only index the document if it does not already exist (put if absent).
If a document with the specified _id already exists, the indexing operation will fail.
The behavior is the same as using the <index>/_create endpoint.
If a document ID is specified, this paramater defaults to index.
Otherwise, it defaults to create.
If the request targets a data stream, an op_type of create is required.
Values are index or create.
The ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, then setting the value to _none disables the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured it will always run, regardless of the value of this parameter.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search.
If false, it does nothing with refreshes.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
The period the request waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards.
This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the operation might not be available when the operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a gateway or undergoing relocation. By default, the operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for at least 1 minute before failing and responding with an error. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
An explicit version number for concurrency control. It must be a non-negative long number.
The version type.
Values are internal, external, external_gte, or force.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.
If true, the destination must be an index alias.

}Copy documents from a source to a destination. You can copy all documents to the destination index or reindex a subset of the documents. The source can be any existing index, alias, or data stream. The destination must differ from the source. For example, you cannot reindex a data stream into itself.
IMPORTANT: Reindex requires _source to be enabled for all documents in the source.
The destination should be configured as wanted before calling the reindex API.
Reindex does not copy the settings from the source or its associated template.
Mappings, shard counts, and replicas, for example, must be configured ahead of time.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following security privileges:
read index privilege for the source data stream, index, or alias.write index privilege for the destination data stream, index, or index alias.auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege for the destination data stream, index, or alias.source.remote.user must have the monitor cluster privilege and the read index privilege for the source data stream, index, or alias.If reindexing from a remote cluster, you must explicitly allow the remote host in the reindex.remote.whitelist setting.
Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.
The dest element can be configured like the index API to control optimistic concurrency control.
Omitting version_type or setting it to internal causes Elasticsearch to blindly dump documents into the destination, overwriting any that happen to have the same ID.
Setting version_type to external causes Elasticsearch to preserve the version from the source, create any documents that are missing, and update any documents that have an older version in the destination than they do in the source.
Setting op_type to create causes the reindex API to create only missing documents in the destination.
All existing documents will cause a version conflict.
IMPORTANT: Because data streams are append-only, any reindex request to a destination data stream must have an op_type of create.
A reindex can only add new documents to a destination data stream.
It cannot update existing documents in a destination data stream.
By default, version conflicts abort the reindex process.
To continue reindexing if there are conflicts, set the conflicts request body property to proceed.
In this case, the response includes a count of the version conflicts that were encountered.
Note that the handling of other error types is unaffected by the conflicts property.
Additionally, if you opt to count version conflicts, the operation could attempt to reindex more documents from the source than max_docs until it has successfully indexed max_docs documents into the target or it has gone through every document in the source query.
NOTE: The reindex API makes no effort to handle ID collisions. The last document written will "win" but the order isn't usually predictable so it is not a good idea to rely on this behavior. Instead, make sure that IDs are unique by using a script.
Running reindex asynchronously
If the request contains wait_for_completion=false, Elasticsearch performs some preflight checks, launches the request, and returns a task you can use to cancel or get the status of the task.
Elasticsearch creates a record of this task as a document at _tasks/<task_id>.
Reindex from multiple sources
If you have many sources to reindex it is generally better to reindex them one at a time rather than using a glob pattern to pick up multiple sources. That way you can resume the process if there are any errors by removing the partially completed source and starting over. It also makes parallelizing the process fairly simple: split the list of sources to reindex and run each list in parallel.
For example, you can use a bash script like this:
for index in i1 i2 i3 i4 i5; do
curl -HContent-Type:application/json -XPOST localhost:9200/_reindex?pretty -d'{
"source": {
"index": "'$index'"
},
"dest": {
"index": "'$index'-reindexed"
}
}'
done
Throttling
Set requests_per_second to any positive decimal number (1.4, 6, 1000, for example) to throttle the rate at which reindex issues batches of index operations.
Requests are throttled by padding each batch with a wait time.
To turn off throttling, set requests_per_second to -1.
The throttling is done by waiting between batches so that the scroll that reindex uses internally can be given a timeout that takes into account the padding.
The padding time is the difference between the batch size divided by the requests_per_second and the time spent writing.
By default the batch size is 1000, so if requests_per_second is set to 500:
target_time = 1000 / 500 per second = 2 seconds
wait_time = target_time - write_time = 2 seconds - .5 seconds = 1.5 seconds
Since the batch is issued as a single bulk request, large batch sizes cause Elasticsearch to create many requests and then wait for a while before starting the next set. This is "bursty" instead of "smooth".
Slicing
Reindex supports sliced scroll to parallelize the reindexing process. This parallelization can improve efficiency and provide a convenient way to break the request down into smaller parts.
NOTE: Reindexing from remote clusters does not support manual or automatic slicing.
You can slice a reindex request manually by providing a slice ID and total number of slices to each request.
You can also let reindex automatically parallelize by using sliced scroll to slice on _id.
The slices parameter specifies the number of slices to use.
Adding slices to the reindex request just automates the manual process, creating sub-requests which means it has some quirks:
slices only contains the status of completed slices.slices will rethrottle the unfinished sub-request proportionally.slices will cancel each sub-request.slices, each sub-request won't get a perfectly even portion of the documents. All documents will be addressed, but some slices may be larger than others. Expect larger slices to have a more even distribution.requests_per_second and max_docs on a request with slices are distributed proportionally to each sub-request. Combine that with the previous point about distribution being uneven and you should conclude that using max_docs with slices might not result in exactly max_docs documents being reindexed.If slicing automatically, setting slices to auto will choose a reasonable number for most indices.
If slicing manually or otherwise tuning automatic slicing, use the following guidelines.
Query performance is most efficient when the number of slices is equal to the number of shards in the index.
If that number is large (for example, 500), choose a lower number as too many slices will hurt performance.
Setting slices higher than the number of shards generally does not improve efficiency and adds overhead.
Indexing performance scales linearly across available resources with the number of slices.
Whether query or indexing performance dominates the runtime depends on the documents being reindexed and cluster resources.
Modify documents during reindexing
Like _update_by_query, reindex operations support a script that modifies the document.
Unlike _update_by_query, the script is allowed to modify the document's metadata.
Just as in _update_by_query, you can set ctx.op to change the operation that is run on the destination.
For example, set ctx.op to noop if your script decides that the document doesn’t have to be indexed in the destination. This "no operation" will be reported in the noop counter in the response body.
Set ctx.op to delete if your script decides that the document must be deleted from the destination.
The deletion will be reported in the deleted counter in the response body.
Setting ctx.op to anything else will return an error, as will setting any other field in ctx.
Think of the possibilities! Just be careful; you are able to change:
_id_index_version_routingSetting _version to null or clearing it from the ctx map is just like not sending the version in an indexing request.
It will cause the document to be overwritten in the destination regardless of the version on the target or the version type you use in the reindex API.
Reindex from remote
Reindex supports reindexing from a remote Elasticsearch cluster.
The host parameter must contain a scheme, host, port, and optional path.
The username and password parameters are optional and when they are present the reindex operation will connect to the remote Elasticsearch node using basic authentication.
Be sure to use HTTPS when using basic authentication or the password will be sent in plain text.
There are a range of settings available to configure the behavior of the HTTPS connection.
When using Elastic Cloud, it is also possible to authenticate against the remote cluster through the use of a valid API key.
Remote hosts must be explicitly allowed with the reindex.remote.whitelist setting.
It can be set to a comma delimited list of allowed remote host and port combinations.
Scheme is ignored; only the host and port are used.
For example:
reindex.remote.whitelist: [otherhost:9200, another:9200, 127.0.10.*:9200, localhost:*"]
The list of allowed hosts must be configured on any nodes that will coordinate the reindex. This feature should work with remote clusters of any version of Elasticsearch. This should enable you to upgrade from any version of Elasticsearch to the current version by reindexing from a cluster of the old version.
WARNING: Elasticsearch does not support forward compatibility across major versions. For example, you cannot reindex from a 7.x cluster into a 6.x cluster.
To enable queries sent to older versions of Elasticsearch, the query parameter is sent directly to the remote host without validation or modification.
NOTE: Reindexing from remote clusters does not support manual or automatic slicing.
Reindexing from a remote server uses an on-heap buffer that defaults to a maximum size of 100mb.
If the remote index includes very large documents you'll need to use a smaller batch size.
It is also possible to set the socket read timeout on the remote connection with the socket_timeout field and the connection timeout with the connect_timeout field.
Both default to 30 seconds.
Configuring SSL parameters
Reindex from remote supports configurable SSL settings.
These must be specified in the elasticsearch.yml file, with the exception of the secure settings, which you add in the Elasticsearch keystore.
It is not possible to configure SSL in the body of the reindex request.
If true, the request refreshes affected shards to make this operation visible to search.
The throttle for this request in sub-requests per second. By default, there is no throttle.
The period of time that a consistent view of the index should be maintained for scrolled search.
The number of slices this task should be divided into. It defaults to one slice, which means the task isn't sliced into subtasks.
Reindex supports sliced scroll to parallelize the reindexing process. This parallelization can improve efficiency and provide a convenient way to break the request down into smaller parts.
NOTE: Reindexing from remote clusters does not support manual or automatic slicing.
If set to auto, Elasticsearch chooses the number of slices to use.
This setting will use one slice per shard, up to a certain limit.
If there are multiple sources, it will choose the number of slices based on the index or backing index with the smallest number of shards.
The period each indexing waits for automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, and waiting for active shards. By default, Elasticsearch waits for at least one minute before failing. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
Set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value is one, which means it waits for each primary shard to be active.
If true, the request blocks until the operation is complete.
If true, the destination must be an index alias.
Values are abort or proceed.
The maximum number of documents to reindex.
By default, all documents are reindexed.
If it is a value less then or equal to scroll_size, a scroll will not be used to retrieve the results for the operation.
If conflicts is set to proceed, the reindex operation could attempt to reindex more documents from the source than max_docs until it has successfully indexed max_docs documents into the target or it has gone through every document in the source query.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Get information and statistics about terms in the fields of a particular document.
You can retrieve term vectors for documents stored in the index or for artificial documents passed in the body of the request.
You can specify the fields you are interested in through the fields parameter or by adding the fields to the request body.
For example:
GET /my-index-000001/_termvectors/1?fields=message
Fields can be specified using wildcards, similar to the multi match query.
Term vectors are real-time by default, not near real-time.
This can be changed by setting realtime parameter to false.
You can request three types of values: term information, term statistics, and field statistics. By default, all term information and field statistics are returned for all fields but term statistics are excluded.
Term information
positions: true)offsets: true)payloads: true), as base64 encoded bytesIf the requested information wasn't stored in the index, it will be computed on the fly if possible. Additionally, term vectors could be computed for documents not even existing in the index, but instead provided by the user.
Start and end offsets assume UTF-16 encoding is being used. If you want to use these offsets in order to get the original text that produced this token, you should make sure that the string you are taking a sub-string of is also encoded using UTF-16.
Behaviour
The term and field statistics are not accurate.
Deleted documents are not taken into account.
The information is only retrieved for the shard the requested document resides in.
The term and field statistics are therefore only useful as relative measures whereas the absolute numbers have no meaning in this context.
By default, when requesting term vectors of artificial documents, a shard to get the statistics from is randomly selected.
Use routing only to hit a particular shard.

}Get information and statistics about terms in the fields of a particular document.
You can retrieve term vectors for documents stored in the index or for artificial documents passed in the body of the request.
You can specify the fields you are interested in through the fields parameter or by adding the fields to the request body.
For example:
GET /my-index-000001/_termvectors/1?fields=message
Fields can be specified using wildcards, similar to the multi match query.
Term vectors are real-time by default, not near real-time.
This can be changed by setting realtime parameter to false.
You can request three types of values: term information, term statistics, and field statistics. By default, all term information and field statistics are returned for all fields but term statistics are excluded.
Term information
positions: true)offsets: true)payloads: true), as base64 encoded bytesIf the requested information wasn't stored in the index, it will be computed on the fly if possible. Additionally, term vectors could be computed for documents not even existing in the index, but instead provided by the user.
Start and end offsets assume UTF-16 encoding is being used. If you want to use these offsets in order to get the original text that produced this token, you should make sure that the string you are taking a sub-string of is also encoded using UTF-16.
Behaviour
The term and field statistics are not accurate.
Deleted documents are not taken into account.
The information is only retrieved for the shard the requested document resides in.
The term and field statistics are therefore only useful as relative measures whereas the absolute numbers have no meaning in this context.
By default, when requesting term vectors of artificial documents, a shard to get the statistics from is randomly selected.
Use routing only to hit a particular shard.
A comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in the statistics.
It is used as the default list unless a specific field list is provided in the completion_fields or fielddata_fields parameters.

}Update a document by running a script or passing a partial document.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the index or write index privilege for the target index or index alias.
The script can update, delete, or skip modifying the document. The API also supports passing a partial document, which is merged into the existing document. To fully replace an existing document, use the index API. This operation:
The document must still be reindexed, but using this API removes some network roundtrips and reduces chances of version conflicts between the GET and the index operation.
The _source field must be enabled to use this API.
In addition to _source, you can access the following variables through the ctx map: _index, _type, _id, _version, _routing, and _now (the current timestamp).
Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
The script language.
If 'true', Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search. If 'wait_for', it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search. If 'false', it does nothing with refreshes.
Values are true, false, or wait_for.
If true, the destination must be an index alias.
The number of times the operation should be retried when a conflict occurs.
A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
The period to wait for the following operations: dynamic mapping updates and waiting for active shards. Elasticsearch waits for at least the timeout period before failing. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
The number of copies of each shard that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
Set to 'all' or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.
If false, source retrieval is turned off.
You can also specify a comma-separated list of the fields you want to retrieve.
The source fields you want to exclude.
The source fields you want to retrieve.
If true, the result in the response is set to noop (no operation) when there are no changes to the document.
A partial update to an existing document.
If both doc and script are specified, doc is ignored.
If true, use the contents of 'doc' as the value of 'upsert'.
NOTE: Using ingest pipelines with doc_as_upsert is not supported.
If true, run the script whether or not the document exists.
Defines how to fetch a source. Fetching can be disabled entirely, or the source can be filtered.
If the document does not already exist, the contents of 'upsert' are inserted as a new document. If the document exists, the 'script' is run.

}Updates documents that match the specified query. If no query is specified, performs an update on every document in the data stream or index without modifying the source, which is useful for picking up mapping changes.
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or alias:
readindex or writeYou can specify the query criteria in the request URI or the request body using the same syntax as the search API.
When you submit an update by query request, Elasticsearch gets a snapshot of the data stream or index when it begins processing the request and updates matching documents using internal versioning.
When the versions match, the document is updated and the version number is incremented.
If a document changes between the time that the snapshot is taken and the update operation is processed, it results in a version conflict and the operation fails.
You can opt to count version conflicts instead of halting and returning by setting conflicts to proceed.
Note that if you opt to count version conflicts, the operation could attempt to update more documents from the source than max_docs until it has successfully updated max_docs documents or it has gone through every document in the source query.
NOTE: Documents with a version equal to 0 cannot be updated using update by query because internal versioning does not support 0 as a valid version number.
While processing an update by query request, Elasticsearch performs multiple search requests sequentially to find all of the matching documents. A bulk update request is performed for each batch of matching documents. Any query or update failures cause the update by query request to fail and the failures are shown in the response. Any update requests that completed successfully still stick, they are not rolled back.
Throttling update requests
To control the rate at which update by query issues batches of update operations, you can set requests_per_second to any positive decimal number.
This pads each batch with a wait time to throttle the rate.
Set requests_per_second to -1 to turn off throttling.
Throttling uses a wait time between batches so that the internal scroll requests can be given a timeout that takes the request padding into account.
The padding time is the difference between the batch size divided by the requests_per_second and the time spent writing.
By default the batch size is 1000, so if requests_per_second is set to 500:
target_time = 1000 / 500 per second = 2 seconds
wait_time = target_time - write_time = 2 seconds - .5 seconds = 1.5 seconds
Since the batch is issued as a single _bulk request, large batch sizes cause Elasticsearch to create many requests and wait before starting the next set. This is "bursty" instead of "smooth".
Slicing
Update by query supports sliced scroll to parallelize the update process. This can improve efficiency and provide a convenient way to break the request down into smaller parts.
Setting slices to auto chooses a reasonable number for most data streams and indices.
This setting will use one slice per shard, up to a certain limit.
If there are multiple source data streams or indices, it will choose the number of slices based on the index or backing index with the smallest number of shards.
Adding slices to _update_by_query just automates the manual process of creating sub-requests, which means it has some quirks:
slices only contains the status of completed slices.slices will rethrottle the unfinished sub-request proportionally.requests_per_second and max_docs on a request with slices are distributed proportionally to each sub-request. Combine that with the point above about distribution being uneven and you should conclude that using max_docs with slices might not result in exactly max_docs documents being updated.If you're slicing manually or otherwise tuning automatic slicing, keep in mind that:
Whether query or update performance dominates the runtime depends on the documents being reindexed and cluster resources.
Update the document source
Update by query supports scripts to update the document source.
As with the update API, you can set ctx.op to change the operation that is performed.
Set ctx.op = "noop" if your script decides that it doesn't have to make any changes.
The update by query operation skips updating the document and increments the noop counter.
Set ctx.op = "delete" if your script decides that the document should be deleted.
The update by query operation deletes the document and increments the deleted counter.
Update by query supports only index, noop, and delete.
Setting ctx.op to anything else is an error.
Setting any other field in ctx is an error.
This API enables you to only modify the source of matching documents; you cannot move them.
A comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases to search.
It supports wildcards (*).
To search all data streams or indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.
If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices.
This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices.
For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
The analyzer to use for the query string.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
If true, wildcard and prefix queries are analyzed.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
The preferred behavior when update by query hits version conflicts: abort or proceed.
Values are abort or proceed.
The default operator for query string query: AND or OR.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
Values are and, AND, or, or OR.
The field to use as default where no field prefix is given in the query string.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
The type of index that wildcard patterns can match.
If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams.
It supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.
Valid values are: all, open, closed, hidden, none.
Skips the specified number of documents.
If true, format-based query failures (such as providing text to a numeric field) in the query string will be ignored.
This parameter can be used only when the q query string parameter is specified.
The maximum number of documents to process.
It defaults to all documents.
When set to a value less then or equal to scroll_size then a scroll will not be used to retrieve the results for the operation.
The ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents.
If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, then setting the value to _none disables the default ingest pipeline for this request.
If a final pipeline is configured it will always run, regardless of the value of this parameter.
The node or shard the operation should be performed on. It is random by default.
A query in the Lucene query string syntax.
If true, Elasticsearch refreshes affected shards to make the operation visible to search after the request completes.
This is different than the update API's refresh parameter, which causes just the shard that received the request to be refreshed.
If true, the request cache is used for this request.
It defaults to the index-level setting.
The throttle for this request in sub-requests per second.
A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
The period to retain the search context for scrolling.
The size of the scroll request that powers the operation.
An explicit timeout for each search request. By default, there is no timeout.
The type of the search operation. Available options include query_then_fetch and dfs_query_then_fetch.
Values are query_then_fetch or dfs_query_then_fetch.
The number of slices this task should be divided into.
A comma-separated list of : pairs.
The specific tag of the request for logging and statistical purposes.
The maximum number of documents to collect for each shard. If a query reaches this limit, Elasticsearch terminates the query early. Elasticsearch collects documents before sorting.
IMPORTANT: Use with caution. Elasticsearch applies this parameter to each shard handling the request. When possible, let Elasticsearch perform early termination automatically. Avoid specifying this parameter for requests that target data streams with backing indices across multiple data tiers.
The period each update request waits for the following operations: dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards. By default, it is one minute. This guarantees Elasticsearch waits for at least the timeout before failing. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
If true, returns the document version as part of a hit.
Should the document increment the version number (internal) on hit or not (reindex)
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
Set to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
The timeout parameter controls how long each write request waits for unavailable shards to become available.
Both work exactly the way they work in the bulk API.
If true, the request blocks until the operation is complete.
If false, Elasticsearch performs some preflight checks, launches the request, and returns a task ID that you can use to cancel or get the status of the task.
Elasticsearch creates a record of this task as a document at .tasks/task/${taskId}.

}The Elasticsearch Query Language (ES|QL) provides a powerful way to filter, transform, and analyze data stored in Elasticsearch, and in the future in other runtimes.
Asynchronously run an ES|QL (Elasticsearch query language) query, monitor its progress, and retrieve results when they become available.
The API accepts the same parameters and request body as the synchronous query API, along with additional async related properties.
If true, partial results will be returned if there are shard failures, but the query can continue to execute on other clusters and shards.
The character to use between values within a CSV row. It is valid only for the CSV format.
Indicates whether columns that are entirely null will be removed from the columns and values portion of the results.
If true, the response will include an extra section under the name all_columns which has the name of all the columns.
A short version of the Accept header, for example json or yaml.
Values are csv, json, tsv, txt, yaml, cbor, smile, or arrow.
The period for which the query and its results are stored in the cluster.
The default period is five days.
When this period expires, the query and its results are deleted, even if the query is still ongoing.
If the keep_on_completion parameter is false, Elasticsearch only stores async queries that do not complete within the period set by the wait_for_completion_timeout parameter, regardless of this value.
Indicates whether the query and its results are stored in the cluster.
If false, the query and its results are stored in the cluster only if the request does not complete during the period set by the wait_for_completion_timeout parameter.
The period to wait for the request to finish. By default, the request waits for 1 second for the query results. If the query completes during this period, results are returned Otherwise, a query ID is returned that can later be used to retrieve the results.
By default, ES|QL returns results as rows. For example, FROM returns each individual document as one row. For the JSON, YAML, CBOR and smile formats, ES|QL can return the results in a columnar fashion where one row represents all the values of a certain column in the results.
An Elasticsearch Query DSL (Domain Specific Language) object that defines a query.
To avoid any attempts of hacking or code injection, extract the values in a separate list of parameters. Use question mark placeholders (?) in the query string for each of the parameters.
If provided and true the response will include an extra profile object
with information on how the query was executed. This information is for human debugging
and its format can change at any time but it can give some insight into the performance
of each part of the query.
The ES|QL query API accepts an ES|QL query string in the query parameter, runs it, and returns the results.
Tables to use with the LOOKUP operation. The top level key is the table name and the next level key is the column name.
When set to true and performing a cross-cluster query, the response will include an extra _clusters
object with information about the clusters that participated in the search along with info such as shards
count.
A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and
d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.

}Get the current status and available results or stored results for an ES|QL asynchronous query. If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, only the user who first submitted the ES|QL query can retrieve the results using this API.
The unique identifier of the query.
A query ID is provided in the ES|QL async query API response for a query that does not complete in the designated time.
A query ID is also provided when the request was submitted with the keep_on_completion parameter set to true.
Indicates whether columns that are entirely null will be removed from the columns and values portion of the results.
If true, the response will include an extra section under the name all_columns which has the name of all the columns.
The period for which the query and its results are stored in the cluster. When this period expires, the query and its results are deleted, even if the query is still ongoing.
The period to wait for the request to finish.
By default, the request waits for complete query results.
If the request completes during the period specified in this parameter, complete query results are returned.
Otherwise, the response returns an is_running value of true and no results.

A short version of the Accept header, e.g. json, yaml.
Values are csv, json, tsv, txt, yaml, cbor, smile, or arrow.
The character to use between values within a CSV row. Only valid for the CSV format.
Should columns that are entirely null be removed from the columns and values portion of the results?
Defaults to false. If true then the response will include an extra section under the name all_columns which has the name of all columns.
If true, partial results will be returned if there are shard failures, but the query can continue to execute on other clusters and shards.
By default, ES|QL returns results as rows. For example, FROM returns each individual document as one row. For the JSON, YAML, CBOR and smile formats, ES|QL can return the results in a columnar fashion where one row represents all the values of a certain column in the results.
An Elasticsearch Query DSL (Domain Specific Language) object that defines a query.
To avoid any attempts of hacking or code injection, extract the values in a separate list of parameters. Use question mark placeholders (?) in the query string for each of the parameters.
If provided and true the response will include an extra profile object
with information on how the query was executed. This information is for human debugging
and its format can change at any time but it can give some insight into the performance
of each part of the query.
The ES|QL query API accepts an ES|QL query string in the query parameter, runs it, and returns the results.
Tables to use with the LOOKUP operation. The top level key is the table name and the next level key is the column name.
When set to true and performing a cross-cluster query, the response will include an extra _clusters
object with information about the clusters that participated in the search along with info such as shards
count.

}The feature APIs enable you to introspect and manage features provided by Elasticsearch and Elasticsearch plugins.
Get a list of features that can be included in snapshots using the feature_states field when creating a snapshot.
You can use this API to determine which feature states to include when taking a snapshot.
By default, all feature states are included in a snapshot if that snapshot includes the global state, or none if it does not.
A feature state includes one or more system indices necessary for a given feature to function. In order to ensure data integrity, all system indices that comprise a feature state are snapshotted and restored together.
The features listed by this API are a combination of built-in features and features defined by plugins. In order for a feature state to be listed in this API and recognized as a valid feature state by the create snapshot API, the plugin that defines that feature must be installed on the master node.
Period to wait for a connection to the master node.
curl \
--request GET 'http://api.example.com/_features' \
--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"{
"features": [
{
"name": "tasks",
"description": "Manages task results"
},
{
"name": "kibana",
"description": "Manages Kibana configuration and reports"
}
]
}Clear all of the state information stored in system indices by Elasticsearch features, including the security and machine learning indices.
WARNING: Intended for development and testing use only. Do not reset features on a production cluster.
Return a cluster to the same state as a new installation by resetting the feature state for all Elasticsearch features. This deletes all state information stored in system indices.
The response code is HTTP 200 if the state is successfully reset for all features. It is HTTP 500 if the reset operation failed for any feature.
Note that select features might provide a way to reset particular system indices. Using this API resets all features, both those that are built-in and implemented as plugins.
To list the features that will be affected, use the get features API.
IMPORTANT: The features installed on the node you submit this request to are the features that will be reset. Run on the master node if you have any doubts about which plugins are installed on individual nodes.
Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

}Get the current global checkpoints for an index. This API is designed for internal use by the Fleet server project.
A single index or index alias that resolves to a single index.
A boolean value which controls whether to wait (until the timeout) for the global checkpoints
to advance past the provided checkpoints.
A boolean value which controls whether to wait (until the timeout) for the target index to exist
and all primary shards be active. Can only be true when wait_for_advance is true.
A comma separated list of previous global checkpoints. When used in combination with wait_for_advance,
the API will only return once the global checkpoints advances past the checkpoints. Providing an empty list
will cause Elasticsearch to immediately return the current global checkpoints.
Period to wait for a global checkpoints to advance past checkpoints.
curl \

The API follows the same structure as the multi search API.
However, similar to the Fleet search API, it supports the wait_for_checkpoints parameter.
If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
If true, network roundtrips between the coordinating node and remote clusters are minimized for cross-cluster search requests.
Type of index that wildcard expressions can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams.
If true, concrete, expanded or aliased indices are ignored when frozen.
Maximum number of concurrent searches the multi search API can execute.
Maximum number of concurrent shard requests that each sub-search request executes per node.
Defines a threshold that enforces a pre-filter roundtrip to prefilter search shards based on query rewriting if the number of shards the search request expands to exceeds the threshold. This filter roundtrip can limit the number of shards significantly if for instance a shard can not match any documents based on its rewrite method i.e., if date filters are mandatory to match but the shard bounds and the query are disjoint.
Indicates whether global term and document frequencies should be used when scoring returned documents.
Values are query_then_fetch or dfs_query_then_fetch.
If true, hits.total are returned as an integer in the response. Defaults to false, which returns an object.
Specifies whether aggregation and suggester names should be prefixed by their respective types in the response.
A comma separated list of checkpoints. When configured, the search API will only be executed on a shard after the relevant checkpoint has become visible for search. Defaults to an empty list which will cause Elasticsearch to immediately execute the search.
If true, returns partial results if there are shard request timeouts or shard failures.
If false, returns an error with no partial results.

Maximum number of documents to collect for each shard. If a query reaches this limit, Elasticsearch terminates the query early. Elasticsearch collects documents before sorting. Defaults to 0, which does not terminate query execution early.
Specifies the period of time to wait for a response from each shard. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to no timeout.
If true, calculate and return document scores, even if the scores are not used for sorting.
If true, returns document version as part of a hit.
If true, returns sequence number and primary term of the last modification of each hit. See Optimistic concurrency control.
Stats groups to associate with the search. Each group maintains a statistics aggregation for its associated searches. You can retrieve these stats using the indices stats API.

Extract and summarize information about the documents and terms in an Elasticsearch data stream or index.
The easiest way to understand the behavior of this API is to use the Graph UI to explore connections.
An initial request to the _explore API contains a seed query that identifies the documents of interest and specifies the fields that define the vertices and connections you want to include in the graph.
Subsequent requests enable you to spider out from one more vertices of interest.
You can exclude vertices that have already been returned.

An index template can be composed of multiple component templates.
To use a component template, specify it in an index template’s composed_of list.
Component templates are only applied to new data streams and indices as part of a matching index template.
Settings and mappings specified directly in the index template or the create index request override any settings or mappings specified in a component template.
Component templates are only used during index creation. For data streams, this includes data stream creation and the creation of a stream’s backing indices. Changes to component templates do not affect existing indices, including a stream’s backing indices.
You can use C-style /* *\/ block comments in component templates.
You can include comments anywhere in the request body except before the opening curly bracket.
Applying component templates
You cannot directly apply a component template to a data stream or index.
To be applied, a component template must be included in an index template's composed_of list.
Name of the component template to create.
Elasticsearch includes the following built-in component templates: logs-mappings; logs-settings; metrics-mappings; metrics-settings;synthetics-mapping; synthetics-settings.
Elastic Agent uses these templates to configure backing indices for its data streams.
If you use Elastic Agent and want to overwrite one of these templates, set the version for your replacement template higher than the current version.
If you don’t use Elastic Agent and want to disable all built-in component and index templates, set stack.templates.enabled to false using the cluster update settings API.
If true, this request cannot replace or update existing component templates.
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.
Marks this index template as deprecated. When creating or updating a non-deprecated index template that uses deprecated components, Elasticsearch will emit a deprecation warning.

}Add an index block to an index. Index blocks limit the operations allowed on an index by blocking specific operation types.
A comma-separated list or wildcard expression of index names used to limit the request.
By default, you must explicitly name the indices you are adding blocks to.
To allow the adding of blocks to indices with _all, *, or other wildcard expressions, change the action.destructive_requires_name setting to false.
You can update this setting in the elasticsearch.yml file or by using the cluster update settings API.
The block type to add to the index.
Values are metadata, read, read_only, or write.
If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices.
This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices.
For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
The type of index that wildcard patterns can match.
If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams.

}The analyze API performs analysis on a text string and returns the resulting tokens.
Generating excessive amount of tokens may cause a node to run out of memory.
The index.analyze.max_token_count setting enables you to limit the number of tokens that can be produced.
If more than this limit of tokens gets generated, an error occurs.
The _analyze endpoint without a specified index will always use 10000 as its limit.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Clone an existing index into a new index. Each original primary shard is cloned into a new primary shard in the new index.
IMPORTANT: Elasticsearch does not apply index templates to the resulting index. The API also does not copy index metadata from the original index. Index metadata includes aliases, index lifecycle management phase definitions, and cross-cluster replication (CCR) follower information. For example, if you clone a CCR follower index, the resulting clone will not be a follower index.
The clone API copies most index settings from the source index to the resulting index, with the exception of index.number_of_replicas and index.auto_expand_replicas.
To set the number of replicas in the resulting index, configure these settings in the clone request.
Cloning works as follows:
IMPORTANT: Indices can only be cloned if they meet the following requirements:
The current write index on a data stream cannot be cloned. In order to clone the current write index, the data stream must first be rolled over so that a new write index is created and then the previous write index can be cloned.
NOTE: Mappings cannot be specified in the _clone request. The mappings of the source index will be used for the target index.
Monitor the cloning process
The cloning process can be monitored with the cat recovery API or the cluster health API can be used to wait until all primary shards have been allocated by setting the wait_for_status parameter to yellow.
The _clone API returns as soon as the target index has been added to the cluster state, before any shards have been allocated.
At this point, all shards are in the state unassigned.
If, for any reason, the target index can't be allocated, its primary shard will remain unassigned until it can be allocated on that node.
Once the primary shard is allocated, it moves to state initializing, and the clone process begins. When the clone operation completes, the shard will become active. At that point, Elasticsearch will try to allocate any replicas and may decide to relocate the primary shard to another node.
Wait for active shards
Because the clone operation creates a new index to clone the shards to, the wait for active shards setting on index creation applies to the clone index action as well.

}A closed index is blocked for read or write operations and does not allow all operations that opened indices allow. It is not possible to index documents or to search for documents in a closed index. Closed indices do not have to maintain internal data structures for indexing or searching documents, which results in a smaller overhead on the cluster.
When opening or closing an index, the master node is responsible for restarting the index shards to reflect the new state of the index. The shards will then go through the normal recovery process. The data of opened and closed indices is automatically replicated by the cluster to ensure that enough shard copies are safely kept around at all times.
You can open and close multiple indices.
An error is thrown if the request explicitly refers to a missing index.
This behaviour can be turned off using the ignore_unavailable=true parameter.
By default, you must explicitly name the indices you are opening or closing.
To open or close indices with _all, *, or other wildcard expressions, change theaction.destructive_requires_name setting to false. This setting can also be changed with the cluster update settings API.
Closed indices consume a significant amount of disk-space which can cause problems in managed environments.
Closing indices can be turned off with the cluster settings API by setting cluster.indices.close.enable to false.

Wait for active shards
By default, index creation will only return a response to the client when the primary copies of each shard have been started, or the request times out.
The index creation response will indicate what happened.
For example, acknowledged indicates whether the index was successfully created in the cluster, while shards_acknowledged indicates whether the requisite number of shard copies were started for each shard in the index before timing out.
Note that it is still possible for either acknowledged or shards_acknowledged to be false, but for the index creation to be successful.
These values simply indicate whether the operation completed before the timeout.
If acknowledged is false, the request timed out before the cluster state was updated with the newly created index, but it probably will be created sometime soon.
If shards_acknowledged is false, then the request timed out before the requisite number of shards were started (by default just the primaries), even if the cluster state was successfully updated to reflect the newly created index (that is to say, acknowledged is true).
You can change the default of only waiting for the primary shards to start through the index setting index.write.wait_for_active_shards.
Note that changing this setting will also affect the wait_for_active_shards value on all subsequent write operations.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Index templates define settings, mappings, and aliases that can be applied automatically to new indices.
Elasticsearch applies templates to new indices based on an wildcard pattern that matches the index name. Index templates are applied during data stream or index creation. For data streams, these settings and mappings are applied when the stream's backing indices are created. Settings and mappings specified in a create index API request override any settings or mappings specified in an index template. Changes to index templates do not affect existing indices, including the existing backing indices of a data stream.
You can use C-style /* *\/ block comments in index templates.
You can include comments anywhere in the request body, except before the opening curly bracket.
Multiple matching templates
If multiple index templates match the name of a new index or data stream, the template with the highest priority is used.
Multiple templates with overlapping index patterns at the same priority are not allowed and an error will be thrown when attempting to create a template matching an existing index template at identical priorities.
Composing aliases, mappings, and settings
When multiple component templates are specified in the composed_of field for an index template, they are merged in the order specified, meaning that later component templates override earlier component templates.
Any mappings, settings, or aliases from the parent index template are merged in next.
Finally, any configuration on the index request itself is merged.
Mapping definitions are merged recursively, which means that later mapping components can introduce new field mappings and update the mapping configuration.
If a field mapping is already contained in an earlier component, its definition will be completely overwritten by the later one.
This recursive merging strategy applies not only to field mappings, but also root options like dynamic_templates and meta.
If an earlier component contains a dynamic_templates block, then by default new dynamic_templates entries are appended onto the end.
If an entry already exists with the same key, then it is overwritten by the new definition.

Priority to determine index template precedence when a new data stream or index is created. The index template with the highest priority is chosen. If no priority is specified the template is treated as though it is of priority 0 (lowest priority). This number is not automatically generated by Elasticsearch.
This setting overrides the value of the action.auto_create_index cluster setting.
If set to true in a template, then indices can be automatically created using that template even if auto-creation of indices is disabled via actions.auto_create_index.
If set to false, then indices or data streams matching the template must always be explicitly created, and may never be automatically created.
The configuration option ignore_missing_component_templates can be used when an index template references a component template that might not exist
Marks this index template as deprecated. When creating or updating a non-deprecated index template that uses deprecated components, Elasticsearch will emit a deprecation warning.

}Flushing a data stream or index is the process of making sure that any data that is currently only stored in the transaction log is also permanently stored in the Lucene index. When restarting, Elasticsearch replays any unflushed operations from the transaction log into the Lucene index to bring it back into the state that it was in before the restart. Elasticsearch automatically triggers flushes as needed, using heuristics that trade off the size of the unflushed transaction log against the cost of performing each flush.
After each operation has been flushed it is permanently stored in the Lucene index. This may mean that there is no need to maintain an additional copy of it in the transaction log. The transaction log is made up of multiple files, called generations, and Elasticsearch will delete any generation files when they are no longer needed, freeing up disk space.
It is also possible to trigger a flush on one or more indices using the flush API, although it is rare for users to need to call this API directly. If you call the flush API after indexing some documents then a successful response indicates that Elasticsearch has flushed all the documents that were indexed before the flush API was called.

After each operation has been flushed it is permanently stored in the Lucene index. This may mean that there is no need to maintain an additional copy of it in the transaction log. The transaction log is made up of multiple files, called generations, and Elasticsearch will delete any generation files when they are no longer needed, freeing up disk space.
It is also possible to trigger a flush on one or more indices using the flush API, although it is rare for users to need to call this API directly. If you call the flush API after indexing some documents then a successful response indicates that Elasticsearch has flushed all the documents that were indexed before the flush API was called.
Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases to flush.
Supports wildcards (*).
To flush all data streams and indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.
If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices.

Valid values are: all, open, closed, hidden, none.
If true, the request forces a flush even if there are no changes to commit to the index.
If true, the flush operation blocks until execution when another flush operation is running.
If false, Elasticsearch returns an error if you request a flush when another flush operation is running.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Perform the force merge operation on the shards of one or more indices. For data streams, the API forces a merge on the shards of the stream's backing indices.
Merging reduces the number of segments in each shard by merging some of them together and also frees up the space used by deleted documents. Merging normally happens automatically, but sometimes it is useful to trigger a merge manually.
WARNING: We recommend force merging only a read-only index (meaning the index is no longer receiving writes). When documents are updated or deleted, the old version is not immediately removed but instead soft-deleted and marked with a "tombstone". These soft-deleted documents are automatically cleaned up during regular segment merges. But force merge can cause very large (greater than 5 GB) segments to be produced, which are not eligible for regular merges. So the number of soft-deleted documents can then grow rapidly, resulting in higher disk usage and worse search performance. If you regularly force merge an index receiving writes, this can also make snapshots more expensive, since the new documents can't be backed up incrementally.
Blocks during a force merge
Calls to this API block until the merge is complete (unless request contains wait_for_completion=false).
If the client connection is lost before completion then the force merge process will continue in the background.
Any new requests to force merge the same indices will also block until the ongoing force merge is complete.
Running force merge asynchronously
If the request contains wait_for_completion=false, Elasticsearch performs some preflight checks, launches the request, and returns a task you can use to get the status of the task.
However, you can not cancel this task as the force merge task is not cancelable.
Elasticsearch creates a record of this task as a document at _tasks/<task_id>.
When you are done with a task, you should delete the task document so Elasticsearch can reclaim the space.
Force merging multiple indices
You can force merge multiple indices with a single request by targeting:
Each targeted shard is force-merged separately using the force_merge threadpool.
By default each node only has a single force_merge thread which means that the shards on that node are force-merged one at a time.
If you expand the force_merge threadpool on a node then it will force merge its shards in parallel
Force merge makes the storage for the shard being merged temporarily increase, as it may require free space up to triple its size in case max_num_segments parameter is set to 1, to rewrite all segments into a new one.
Data streams and time-based indices
Force-merging is useful for managing a data stream's older backing indices and other time-based indices, particularly after a rollover. In these cases, each index only receives indexing traffic for a certain period of time. Once an index receive no more writes, its shards can be force-merged to a single segment. This can be a good idea because single-segment shards can sometimes use simpler and more efficient data structures to perform searches. For example:
POST /.ds-my-data-stream-2099.03.07-000001/_forcemerge?max_num_segments=1
Whether to ignore if a wildcard indices expression resolves into no concrete indices. (This includes _all string or when no indices have been specified)
Whether to expand wildcard expression to concrete indices that are open, closed or both.
Specify whether the index should be flushed after performing the operation (default: true)

Specify whether the operation should only expunge deleted documents

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"For data streams, the API opens any closed backing indices.
A closed index is blocked for read/write operations and does not allow all operations that opened indices allow. It is not possible to index documents or to search for documents in a closed index. This allows closed indices to not have to maintain internal data structures for indexing or searching documents, resulting in a smaller overhead on the cluster.
When opening or closing an index, the master is responsible for restarting the index shards to reflect the new state of the index. The shards will then go through the normal recovery process. The data of opened or closed indices is automatically replicated by the cluster to ensure that enough shard copies are safely kept around at all times.
You can open and close multiple indices.
An error is thrown if the request explicitly refers to a missing index.
This behavior can be turned off by using the ignore_unavailable=true parameter.
By default, you must explicitly name the indices you are opening or closing.
To open or close indices with _all, *, or other wildcard expressions, change the action.destructive_requires_name setting to false.
This setting can also be changed with the cluster update settings API.
Closed indices consume a significant amount of disk-space which can cause problems in managed environments.
Closing indices can be turned off with the cluster settings API by setting cluster.indices.close.enable to false.
Because opening or closing an index allocates its shards, the wait_for_active_shards setting on index creation applies to the _open and _close index actions as well.
Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request.

}Get information about ongoing and completed shard recoveries for one or more indices. For data streams, the API returns information for the stream's backing indices.
All recoveries, whether ongoing or complete, are kept in the cluster state and may be reported on at any time.
Shard recovery is the process of initializing a shard copy, such as restoring a primary shard from a snapshot or creating a replica shard from a primary shard. When a shard recovery completes, the recovered shard is available for search and indexing.
Recovery automatically occurs during the following processes:
You can determine the cause of a shard recovery using the recovery or cat recovery APIs.
The index recovery API reports information about completed recoveries only for shard copies that currently exist in the cluster. It only reports the last recovery for each shard copy and does not report historical information about earlier recoveries, nor does it report information about the recoveries of shard copies that no longer exist. This means that if a shard copy completes a recovery and then Elasticsearch relocates it onto a different node then the information about the original recovery will not be shown in the recovery API.
If true, the response only includes ongoing shard recoveries.
If true, the response includes detailed information about shard recoveries.

}A refresh makes recent operations performed on one or more indices available for search. For data streams, the API runs the refresh operation on the stream’s backing indices.

You can change this default interval with the index.refresh_interval setting.
Refresh requests are synchronous and do not return a response until the refresh operation completes.
Refreshes are resource-intensive. To ensure good cluster performance, it's recommended to wait for Elasticsearch's periodic refresh rather than performing an explicit refresh when possible.
If your application workflow indexes documents and then runs a search to retrieve the indexed document, it's recommended to use the index API's refresh=wait_for query parameter option.

IMPORTANT: After reloading the search analyzers you should clear the request cache to make sure it doesn't contain responses derived from the previous versions of the analyzer.
You can use the reload search analyzers API to pick up changes to synonym files used in the synonym_graph or synonym token filter of a search analyzer.
To be eligible, the token filter must have an updateable flag of true and only be used in search analyzers.
NOTE: This API does not perform a reload for each shard of an index. Instead, it performs a reload for each node containing index shards. As a result, the total shard count returned by the API can differ from the number of index shards. Because reloading affects every node with an index shard, it is important to update the synonym file on every data node in the cluster--including nodes that don't contain a shard replica--before using this API. This ensures the synonym file is updated everywhere in the cluster in case shards are relocated in the future.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Reload an index's search analyzers and their resources. For data streams, the API reloads search analyzers and resources for the stream's backing indices.
IMPORTANT: After reloading the search analyzers you should clear the request cache to make sure it doesn't contain responses derived from the previous versions of the analyzer.
You can use the reload search analyzers API to pick up changes to synonym files used in the synonym_graph or synonym token filter of a search analyzer.
To be eligible, the token filter must have an updateable flag of true and only be used in search analyzers.
NOTE: This API does not perform a reload for each shard of an index. Instead, it performs a reload for each node containing index shards. As a result, the total shard count returned by the API can differ from the number of index shards. Because reloading affects every node with an index shard, it is important to update the synonym file on every data node in the cluster--including nodes that don't contain a shard replica--before using this API. This ensures the synonym file is updated everywhere in the cluster in case shards are relocated in the future.
A comma-separated list of index names to reload analyzers for
Whether to ignore if a wildcard indices expression resolves into no concrete indices. (This includes _all string or when no indices have been specified)
Whether to expand wildcard expression to concrete indices that are open, closed or both.

--header "Authorization: $API_KEY"Resolve the specified index expressions to return information about each cluster, including the local "querying" cluster, if included. If no index expression is provided, the API will return information about all the remote clusters that are configured on the querying cluster.
This endpoint is useful before doing a cross-cluster search in order to determine which remote clusters should be included in a search.
You use the same index expression with this endpoint as you would for cross-cluster search. Index and cluster exclusions are also supported with this endpoint.
For each cluster in the index expression, information is returned about:
remote/info endpoint.skip_unavailable as true or false.For example, GET /_resolve/cluster/my-index-*,cluster*:my-index-* returns information about the local cluster and all remotely configured clusters that start with the alias cluster*.
Each cluster returns information about whether it has any indices, aliases or data streams that match my-index-*.
The ability to query without an index expression was added in version 8.18, so when
querying remote clusters older than that, the local cluster will send the index
expression dummy* to those remote clusters. Thus, if an errors occur, you may see a reference
to that index expression even though you didn't request it. If it causes a problem, you can
instead include an index expression like *:* to bypass the issue.
You may want to exclude a cluster or index from a search when:
skip_unavailable=false. Running a cross-cluster search under those conditions will cause the entire search to fail.logs*,remote1:logs* and the remote1 cluster has no indices, aliases or data streams that match logs*. In that case, that cluster will return no results from that cluster if you include it in a cross-cluster search._resolve/cluster response will be present. (This is also where security/permission errors will be shown.)The remote/info endpoint is commonly used to test whether the "local" cluster (the cluster being queried) is connected to its remote clusters, but it does not necessarily reflect whether the remote cluster is available or not.
The remote cluster may be available, while the local cluster is not currently connected to it.
You can use the _resolve/cluster API to attempt to reconnect to remote clusters.
For example with GET _resolve/cluster or GET _resolve/cluster/*:*.
The connected field in the response will indicate whether it was successful.
If a connection was (re-)established, this will also cause the remote/info endpoint to now indicate a connected status.
If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing
or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request
targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
NOTE: This option is only supported when specifying an index expression. You will get an error if you specify index
options to the _resolve/cluster API endpoint that takes no index expression.
Type of index that wildcard patterns can match.
If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams.
Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.
Valid values are: all, open, closed, hidden, none.

options to the _resolve/cluster API endpoint that takes no index expression.
If true, concrete, expanded, or aliased indices are ignored when frozen.

}TIP: It is recommended to use the index lifecycle rollover action to automate rollovers.
The rollover API creates a new index for a data stream or index alias. The API behavior depends on the rollover target.
Roll over a data stream
If you roll over a data stream, the API creates a new write index for the stream. The stream's previous write index becomes a regular backing index. A rollover also increments the data stream's generation.
Roll over an index alias with a write index
TIP: Prior to Elasticsearch 7.9, you'd typically use an index alias with a write index to manage time series data. Data streams replace this functionality, require less maintenance, and automatically integrate with data tiers.
If an index alias points to multiple indices, one of the indices must be a write index.
The rollover API creates a new write index for the alias with is_write_index set to true.
The API also sets is_write_index to false for the previous write index.
Roll over an index alias with one index
If you roll over an index alias that points to only one index, the API creates a new index for the alias and removes the original index from the alias.
NOTE: A rollover creates a new index and is subject to the wait_for_active_shards setting.
Increment index names for an alias
When you roll over an index alias, you can specify a name for the new index.
If you don't specify a name and the current index ends with - and a number, such as my-index-000001 or my-index-3, the new index name increments that number.
For example, if you roll over an alias with a current index of my-index-000001, the rollover creates a new index named my-index-000002.
This number is always six characters and zero-padded, regardless of the previous index's name.
If you use an index alias for time series data, you can use date math in the index name to track the rollover date.
For example, you can create an alias that points to an index named <my-index-{now/d}-000001>.
If you create the index on May 6, 2099, the index's name is my-index-2099.05.06-000001.
If you roll over the alias on May 7, 2099, the new index's name is my-index-2099.05.07-000002.

}Shrink an index into a new index with fewer primary shards.
Before you can shrink an index:
To make shard allocation easier, we recommend you also remove the index's replica shards. You can later re-add replica shards as part of the shrink operation.
The requested number of primary shards in the target index must be a factor of the number of shards in the source index. For example an index with 8 primary shards can be shrunk into 4, 2 or 1 primary shards or an index with 15 primary shards can be shrunk into 5, 3 or 1. If the number of shards in the index is a prime number it can only be shrunk into a single primary shard Before shrinking, a (primary or replica) copy of every shard in the index must be present on the same node.
The current write index on a data stream cannot be shrunk. In order to shrink the current write index, the data stream must first be rolled over so that a new write index is created and then the previous write index can be shrunk.
A shrink operation:
.routing.allocation.initial_recovery._id index setting.IMPORTANT: Indices can only be shrunk if they satisfy the following requirements:
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.
Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.
The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation.
Set to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).

}Split an index into a new index with more primary shards.
Before you can split an index:
The index must be read-only.
The cluster health status must be green.
You can do make an index read-only with the following request using the add index block API:
PUT /my_source_index/_block/write
The current write index on a data stream cannot be split. In order to split the current write index, the data stream must first be rolled over so that a new write index is created and then the previous write index can be split.
The number of times the index can be split (and the number of shards that each original shard can be split into) is determined by the index.number_of_routing_shards setting.
The number of routing shards specifies the hashing space that is used internally to distribute documents across shards with consistent hashing.
For instance, a 5 shard index with number_of_routing_shards set to 30 (5 x 2 x 3) could be split by a factor of 2 or 3.

}Switch the indices, ILM policies, and legacy, composable, and component templates from using custom node attributes and attribute-based allocation filters to using data tiers. Optionally, delete one legacy index template. Using node roles enables ILM to automatically move the indices between data tiers.
Migrating away from custom node attributes routing can be manually performed. This API provides an automated way of performing three out of the four manual steps listed in the migration guide:
ILM must be stopped before performing the migration.
Use the stop ILM and get ILM status APIs to wait until the reported operation mode is STOPPED.
If true, simulates the migration from node attributes based allocation filters to data tiers, but does not perform the migration. This provides a way to retrieve the indices and ILM policies that need to be migrated.

}Manually move an index into a specific step in the lifecycle policy and run that step.
WARNING: This operation can result in the loss of data. Manually moving an index into a specific step runs that step even if it has already been performed. This is a potentially destructive action and this should be considered an expert level API.
You must specify both the current step and the step to be executed in the body of the request. The request will fail if the current step does not match the step currently running for the index This is to prevent the index from being moved from an unexpected step into the next step.
When specifying the target (next_step) to which the index will be moved, either the name or both the action and name fields are optional.
If only the phase is specified, the index will move to the first step of the first action in the target phase.
If the phase and action are specified, the index will move to the first step of the specified action in the specified phase.
Only actions specified in the ILM policy are considered valid.
An index cannot move to a step that is not part of its policy.

}Create an inference endpoint to perform an inference task with the elasticsearch service.
Your Elasticsearch deployment contains preconfigured ELSER and E5 inference endpoints, you only need to create the enpoints using the API if you want to customize the settings.
If you use the ELSER or the E5 model through the elasticsearch service, the API request will automatically download and deploy the model if it isn't downloaded yet.
You might see a 502 bad gateway error in the response when using the Kibana Console. This error usually just reflects a timeout, while the model downloads in the background. You can check the download progress in the Machine Learning UI. If using the Python client, you can set the timeout parameter to a higher value.
After creating the endpoint, wait for the model deployment to complete before using it.
