[[cat-thread-pool]] == cat thread pool The `thread_pool` command shows cluster wide thread pool statistics per node. By default the active, queue and rejected statistics are returned for all thread pools.

All <> and custom thread pools are available. [float] ==== Thread Pool Fields For each thread pool, you can load details about it by using the field names in the table below. [cols="<,<,<",options="header"] |======================================================================= |Field Name |Alias |Description |`type` |`t` |The current (*) type of thread pool (`fixed` or `scaling`) |`active` |`a` |The number of active threads in the current thread pool |`size` |`s` |The number of threads in the current thread pool |`queue` |`q` |The number of tasks in the queue for the current thread pool |`queue_size` |`qs` |The maximum number of tasks permitted in the queue for the current thread pool |`rejected` |`r` |The number of tasks rejected by the thread pool executor |`largest` |`l` |The highest number of active threads in the current thread pool |`completed` |`c` |The number of tasks completed by the thread pool executor |`min` |`mi` |The configured minimum number of active threads allowed in the current thread pool |`max` |`ma` |The configured maximum number of active threads allowed in the current thread pool |`keep_alive` |`k` |The configured keep alive time for threads |======================================================================= [float] === Other Fields In addition to details about each thread pool, it is also convenient to get an understanding of where those thread pools reside. As such, you can request other details like the `ip` of the responding node(s). [cols="<,<,<",options="header"] |======================================================================= |Field Name |Alias |Description |`node_id` |`id` |The unique node ID |`ephemeral_id`|`eid` |The ephemeral node ID |`pid` |`p` |The process ID of the running node |`host` |`h` |The hostname for the current node |`ip` |`i` |The IP address for the current node |`port` |`po` |The bound transport port for the current node |=======================================================================
