[[indices-shards-stores]] === Index shard stores API ++++ Index shard stores ++++ Returns store information about replica shards in one or more indices. [source,console] ---- GET /twitter/_shard_stores ---- // TEST[setup:twitter] [[index-shard-stores-api-request]] ==== {api-request-title} `GET //_shard_stores` `GET /_shard_stores` [[index-shard-stores-api-desc]] ==== {api-description-title} Use the index shard stores API to return store information about replica shards in one or more indices. Returned information includes: * The node on which each replica shard exists * Allocation ID for each replica shard * Unique ID for each replica shard * Any errors encountered while opening the shard index or from an earlier failure By default, the API only returns store information for primary shards that are unassigned or have one or more unassigned replica shards. [[index-shard-stores-api-path-params]] ==== {api-path-parms-title} include::{es-repo-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=index] + To retrieve information for all indices in the cluster, use a value of `_all` or `*` or omit this parameter.

Valid values include: `green`:: The primary shard and all replica shards are assigned. `yellow`:: One or more replica shards are unassigned. `red`:: The primary shard is unassigned. `all`:: Return all shards, regardless of health status. Defaults to `yellow,red`. -- [[index-shard-stores-api-example]] ==== {api-examples-title} [[index-shard-stores-api-single-ex]] ===== Get shard store information for a specific index [source,console] ---- GET /test/_shard_stores ---- // TEST[s/^/PUT test\n/] [[index-shard-stores-api-multi-ex]] ===== Get shard store information for several indices [source,console] ---- GET /test1,test2/_shard_stores ---- // TEST[s/^/PUT test1\nPUT test2\n/] [[index-shard-stores-api-all-ex]] ===== Get shard store information for all indices [source,console] ---- GET /_shard_stores ---- // TEST[continued] [[index-shard-stores-api-health-ex]] ===== Get shard store information based on cluster health You can use the `status` query parameter to limit returned information based on shard health.
