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 May 6, 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

]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.
The unit used to display time values.
Values are nanos, micros, ms, s, m, h, or d.
If true, returns HH:MM:SS and Unix epoch timestamps.

are still processed because it is possible that not all fields are missing.data.out_of_order_timestamps (or doot, dataOutOfOrderTimestamps): The number of input documents that have a timestamp chronologically
preceding the start of the current anomaly detection bucket offset by the
latency window. This information is applicable only when you provide data
to the anomaly detection job by using the post data API. These out of order
documents are discarded, since jobs require time series data to be in
ascending chronological order.data.processed_fields (or dpf, dataProcessedFields): The total number of fields in all the documents that have been processed by
the anomaly detection job. Only fields that are specified in the detector
configuration object contribute to this count. The timestamp is not
included in this count.data.processed_records (or dpr, dataProcessedRecords): The number of input documents that have been processed by the anomaly
detection job. This value includes documents with missing fields, since
they are nonetheless analyzed. If you use datafeeds and have aggregations

value indicates the latest size.model.bytes_exceeded (or mbe, modelBytesExceeded): The number of bytes over the high limit for memory usage at the last
allocation failure.model.categorization_status (or mcs, modelCategorizationStatus): The status of categorization for the job: ok or warn. If ok,
categorization is performing acceptably well (or not being used at all). If
warn, categorization is detecting a distribution of categories that
suggests the input data is inappropriate for categorization. Problems could
be that there is only one category, more than 90% of categories are rare,
the number of categories is greater than 50% of the number of categorized
documents, there are no frequently matched categories, or more than 50% of
categories are dead.model.categorized_doc_count (or mcdc, modelCategorizedDocCount): The number of documents that have had a field categorized.model.dead_category_count (or mdcc, modelDeadCategoryCount): The number of categories created by categorization that will never be
assigned again because another category’s definition makes it a superset of
the dead category. Dead categories are a side effect of the way
categorization has no prior training.model.failed_category_count (or mdcc, modelFailedCategoryCount): The number of times that categorization wanted to create a new category but
couldn’t because the job had hit its model memory limit. This count does
not track which specific categories failed to be created. Therefore, you
cannot use this value to determine the number of unique categories that
were missed.model.frequent_category_count (or mfcc, modelFrequentCategoryCount): The number of categories that match more than 1% of categorized documents.model.log_time (or mlt, modelLogTime): The timestamp when the model stats were gathered, according to server time.model.memory_limit (or mml, modelMemoryLimit): The timestamp when the model stats were gathered, according to server time.model.memory_status (or mms, modelMemoryStatus): The status of the mathematical models: ok, soft_limit, or hard_limit.
If ok, the models stayed below the configured value. If soft_limit, the
models used more than 60% of the configured memory limit and older unused
models will be pruned to free up space. Additionally, in categorization jobs
no further category examples will be stored. If hard_limit, the models
used more space than the configured memory limit. As a result, not all
incoming data was processed.model.over_fields (or mof, modelOverFields): The number of over field values that were analyzed by the models. This
value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.model.partition_fields (or mpf, modelPartitionFields): The number of partition field values that were analyzed by the models. This
value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.model.rare_category_count (or mrcc, modelRareCategoryCount): The number of categories that match just one categorized document.model.timestamp (or mt, modelTimestamp): The timestamp of the last record when the model stats were gathered.model.total_category_count (or mtcc, modelTotalCategoryCount): The number of categories created by categorization.node.address (or na, nodeAddress): The network address of the node that runs the job.

available only for open jobs.node.id (or ni, nodeId): The unique identifier of the node that runs the job. This information is
available only for open jobs.node.name (or nn, nodeName): The name of the node that runs the job. This information is available only
for open jobs.opened_time (or ot): For open jobs only, the elapsed time for which the job has been open.state (or s): The status of the anomaly detection job: closed, closing, failed,
opened, or opening. If closed, the job finished successfully with its
model state persisted. The job must be opened before it can accept further
data. If closing, the job close action is in progress and has not yet
completed. A closing job cannot accept further data. If failed, the job
did not finish successfully due to an error. This situation can occur due
to invalid input data, a fatal error occurring during the analysis, or an
external interaction such as the process being killed by the Linux out of
memory (OOM) killer. If the job had irrevocably failed, it must be force
closed and then deleted. If the datafeed can be corrected, the job can be
closed and then re-opened. If opened, the job is available to receive and
process data. If opening, the job open action is in progress and has not
yet completed.Comma-separated list of column names or column aliases used to sort the response.

]Get configuration and usage information about transforms.
CAT APIs are only intended for human consumption using the Kibana console or command line. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the get transform statistics API.
A transform identifier or a wildcard expression. If you do not specify one of these options, the API returns information for all transforms.
Specifies what to do when the request: contains wildcard expressions and there are no transforms that match; contains the _all string or no identifiers and there are no matches; contains wildcard expressions and there are only partial matches.
If true, it returns an empty transforms array when there are no matches and the subset of results when there are partial matches.
If false, the request returns a 404 status code when there are no matches or only partial matches.

}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.

--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.

}Get comprehensive information about the state of the cluster.
The cluster state is an internal data structure which keeps track of a variety of information needed by every node, including the identity and attributes of the other nodes in the cluster; cluster-wide settings; index metadata, including the mapping and settings for each index; the location and status of every shard copy in the cluster.
The elected master node ensures that every node in the cluster has a copy of the same cluster state. This API lets you retrieve a representation of this internal state for debugging or diagnostic purposes. You may need to consult the Elasticsearch source code to determine the precise meaning of the response.
By default the API will route requests to the elected master node since this node is the authoritative source of cluster states.
You can also retrieve the cluster state held on the node handling the API request by adding the ?local=true query parameter.
Elasticsearch may need to expend significant effort to compute a response to this API in larger clusters, and the response may comprise a very large quantity of data. If you use this API repeatedly, your cluster may become unstable.
WARNING: The response is a representation of an internal data structure. Its format is not subject to the same compatibility guarantees as other more stable APIs and may change from version to version. Do not query this API using external monitoring tools. Instead, obtain the information you require using other more stable cluster APIs.
