[[cluster-nodes-stats-api-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}

You can use the cluster nodes stats API to retrieve statistics for nodes in a cluster.


All the nodes selective options are explained <<cluster-nodes,here>>.

By default, all stats are returned. You can limit the returned information by 
using metrics.

    limit has been set for the cgroup.

`os.cgroup.memory.usage_in_bytes` (Linux only)::
    The total current memory usage by processes in the cgroup (in bytes) by all 
    tasks in the same cgroup as the {es} process. This value is stored as a 
    string for consistency with `os.cgroup.memory.limit_in_bytes`.

NOTE: For the cgroup stats to be visible, cgroups must be compiled into the 
kernel, the `cpu` and `cpuacct` cgroup subsystems must be configured and stats 
must be readable from `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu` and `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct`.

[[cluster-nodes-stats-ingest-ex]]
===== Retrieve ingest statistics only

To return only ingest-related node statistics, set the `<metric>` path
parameter to `ingest` and use the
<<common-options-response-filtering,`filter_path`>> query parameter.

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_nodes/stats/ingest?filter_path=nodes.*.ingest
--------------------------------------------------

You can use the `metric` and `filter_path` query parameters to get the same
response.

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_nodes/stats?metric=ingest&filter_path=nodes.*.ingest
--------------------------------------------------

To further refine the response, change the `filter_path` value.
For example, the following request only returns ingest pipeline statistics.

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_nodes/stats?metric=ingest&filter_path=nodes.*.ingest.pipelines
--------------------------------------------------
