cat/nodes currently does not report any details related to file descriptors. This adds the current number in use, the maximum number available as well as their ratio (percentage) to cat/nodes as hidden-by-default metrics. In addition, this also adds current heap usage (as a non-percentage of ts max) and ram usage (as a non-percerntage of its max) to allow tools to provide more granularity.
Closes#7652
This patch adds to `_cat/indices` information about memory usage per index by adding memory used by FieldData, IdCache, Percolate, Segments (memory, index writer, version map).
```
% curl 'localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v&h=i,tm'
i tm
wiki 8.1gb
test 30.5kb
user 1.9mb
```
Closes#7008
This is an update for the _cat/recovery API documentation. The examples
have been updated. Removed the bottom paragraph explaining why there
could be values > 100%. This can no longer happen so that had to be
removed.
Closes#6159
Adds a table with the exhaustive list of all available headers with a brief description (mostly from `org.elasticsearch.rest.action.cat.RestNodesAction`) so that people do not need to go searching for them in the code like I did, or search through `nodes?help`.
If we want to have a full picture of versions running in a cluster, we need to add a `_cat/plugins` endpoint.
Response could look like:
```sh
% curl es2:9200/_cat/plugins?v
node component version type url desc
es1 mapper-attachments 1.7.0 j Adds the attachment type allowing to parse difference attachment formats
es1 lang-javascript 1.4.0 j JavaScript plugin allowing to add javascript scripting support
es1 analysis-smartcn 1.9.0 j Smart Chinese analysis support
es1 marvel 1.1.0 j/s http://localhost:9200/_plugins/marvel Elasticsearch Management & Monitoring
es1 kopf 0.5.3 s http://localhost:9200/_plugins/kopf kopf - simple web administration tool for ElasticSearch
es2 mapper-attachments 2.0.0.RC1 j Adds the attachment type allowing to parse difference attachment formats
es2 lang-javascript 2.0.0.RC1 j JavaScript plugin allowing to add javascript scripting support
es2 analysis-smartcn 2.0.0.RC1 j Smart Chinese analysis support
```
Closes#4824.
By default active, rejected and queue thread statistics are included for the index, bulk and search thread pool.
Other thread statistics of other thread pools can be included via the `h` query string parameter.
