=== Stats, info, and `cat` changes ==== Sigar removed We no longer ship the Sigar library for operating system dependent statistics, as it no longer seems to be maintained. Instead, we rely on the statistics provided by the JVM. This has resulted in a number of changes to the node info, and node stats responses: * `network.*` has been removed from nodes info and nodes stats. * `fs.*.dev` and `fs.*.disk*` have been removed from nodes stats. * `os.*` has been removed from nodes stats, except for `os.timestamp`, `os.load_average`, `os.mem.*`, and `os.swap.*`. * `os.mem.total` and `os.swap.total` have been removed from nodes info. * `process.mem.resident` and `process.mem.share` have been removed from node stats. ==== Removed `id_cache` from stats apis Removed `id_cache` metric from nodes stats, indices stats and cluster stats apis. This metric has also been removed from the shards cat, indices cat and nodes cat apis. Parent/child memory is now reported under fielddata, because it has internally be using fielddata for a while now. To just see how much parent/child related field data is taking, the `fielddata_fields` option can be used on the stats apis. Indices stats example: [source,js] -------------------------------------------------- GET /_stats/fielddata?fielddata_fields=_parent -------------------------------------------------- ==== Percolator stats The total time spent running percolator queries is now called `percolate.time` instead of `percolate.get_time`. ==== Cluster state REST API The cluster state API doesn't return the `routing_nodes` section anymore when `routing_table` is requested. The newly introduced `routing_nodes` flag can be used separately to control whether `routing_nodes` should be returned. ==== Index status API The deprecated index status API has been removed. ==== `cat` APIs verbose by default The `cat` APIs now default to being verbose, which means they output column headers by default. Verbosity can be turned off with the `v` parameter: [source,sh] ----------------- GET _cat/shards?v=0 -----------------
