== Get Settings

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]

=== Multiple Indices and Types

The get settings API can be used to get settings for more than one index
with a single call. General usage of the API follows the
following syntax: `host:port/{index}/_settings` where
`{index}` can stand for comma-separated list of index names and aliases. To
get settings for all indices you can use `_all` for `{index}`.
Wildcard expressions are also supported. The following are some examples:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /twitter,kimchy/_settings

GET /_all/_settings

GET /log_2013_*/_settings
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:twitter]
// TEST[s/^/PUT kimchy\nPUT log_2013_01_01\n/]

=== Filtering settings by name

The settings that are returned can be filtered with wildcard matching
as follows:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/2013-*/_settings/name=index.number_*'
--------------------------------------------------
