[[cluster-nodes-info]]
== Nodes Info

The cluster nodes info API allows to retrieve one or more (or all) of
the cluster nodes information.

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes'
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2'
--------------------------------------------------

The first command retrieves information of all the nodes in the cluster.
The second command selectively retrieves nodes information of only
`nodeId1` and `nodeId2`. All the nodes selective options are explained
<<cluster-nodes,here>>.

By default, it just returns all attributes and core settings for a node:

[float]
[[core-info]]

`build_hash`::
	Short hash of the last git commit in this release.

`host`::
	The node's host name.

`http_address`::
	Host and port where primary HTTP connections are accepted.

`ip`::
	The node's IP address.

`name`::
	The node's name.

`total_indexing_buffer`::
	Total heap allowed to be used to hold recently indexed
	documents before they must be written to disk.  This size is
	a shared pool across all shards on this node, and is
        controlled by <<indexing-buffer,Indexing Buffer settings>>.

`total_indexing_buffer_in_bytes`::
	Same as `total_indexing_buffer`, but expressed in bytes.

`transport_address`::
	Host and port where transport HTTP connections are accepted.

`version`::
	Elasticsearch version running on this node.

It also allows to get only information on `settings`, `os`, `process`, `jvm`,
`thread_pool`, `transport`, `http`, `plugins` and `ingest`:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes/process'
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes/_all/process'
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2/jvm,process'
# same as above
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2/info/jvm,process'

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2/_all
--------------------------------------------------

The `_all` flag can be set to return all the information - or you can simply omit it.

[float]
[[os-info]]
==== Operating System information

The `os` flag can be set to retrieve information that concern
the operating system:

`os.refresh_interval_in_millis`::
	Refresh interval for the OS statistics

`os.name`::
	Name of the operating system (ex: Linux, Windows, Mac OS X)

`os.arch`::
	Name of the JVM architecture (ex: amd64, x86)

`os.version`::
	Version of the operating system

`os.available_processors`::
	Number of processors available to the Java virtual machine

`os.allocated_processors`::
    The number of processors actually used to calculate thread pool size. This number can be set
    with the `processors` setting of a node and defaults to the number of processors reported by the OS.
    In both cases this number will never be larger than 32.

[float]
[[process-info]]
==== Process information

The `process` flag can be set to retrieve information that concern
the current running process:

`process.refresh_interval_in_millis`::
	Refresh interval for the process statistics

`process.id`::
	Process identifier (PID)

`process.mlockall`::
	Indicates if the process address space has been successfully locked in memory

[float]
[[plugins-info]]
==== Plugins information

`plugins` - if set, the result will contain details about the loaded
plugins per node:

* `name`: plugin name
* `description`: plugin description if any
* `site`: `true` if the plugin is a site plugin
* `jvm`: `true` if the plugin is a plugin running in the JVM
* `url`: URL if the plugin is a site plugin

The result will look similar to:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
  "cluster_name" : "test-cluster-MacBook-Air-de-David.local",
  "nodes" : {
    "hJLXmY_NTrCytiIMbX4_1g" : {
      "name" : "node4",
      "transport_address" : "inet[/172.18.58.139:9303]",
      "hostname" : "MacBook-Air-de-David.local",
      "version" : "0.90.0.Beta2-SNAPSHOT",
      "http_address" : "inet[/172.18.58.139:9203]",
      "plugins" : [ {
        "name" : "test-plugin",
        "description" : "test-plugin description",
        "site" : true,
        "jvm" : false
      }, {
        "name" : "test-no-version-plugin",
        "description" : "test-no-version-plugin description",
        "site" : true,
        "jvm" : false
      }, {
        "name" : "dummy",
        "description" : "No description found for dummy.",
        "url" : "/_plugin/dummy/",
        "site" : false,
        "jvm" : true
      } ]
    }
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------

[float]
[[ingest-info]]
==== Ingest information

`ingest` - if set, the result will contain details about the available
processors per node:

* `type`: the processor type

The result will look similar to:
