[[cluster]] = Cluster APIs [partintro] -- ["float",id="cluster-nodes"] == Node specification Some cluster-level APIs may operate on a subset of the nodes which can be specified with _node filters_. For example, the <>, <>, and <> APIs can all report results from a filtered set of nodes rather than from all nodes. _Node filters_ are written as a comma-separated list of individual filters, each of which adds or removes nodes from the chosen subset. Each filter can be one of the following: * `_all`, to add all nodes to the subset. * `_local`, to add the local node to the subset. * `_master`, to add the currently-elected master node to the subset. * a node id or name, to add this node to the subset. * an IP address or hostname, to add all matching nodes to the subset. * a pattern, using `*` wildcards, which adds all nodes to the subset whose name, address or hostname matches the pattern. * `master:true`, `data:true`, `ingest:true`, `voting_only:true` or `coordinating_only:true`, which respectively add to the subset all master-eligible nodes, all data nodes, all ingest nodes, all voting-only nodes, and all coordinating-only nodes. * `master:false`, `data:false`, `ingest:false`, `voting_only:true`, or `coordinating_only:false`, which respectively remove from the subset all master-eligible nodes, all data nodes, all ingest nodes, all voting-only nodes and all coordinating-only nodes. * a pair of patterns, using `*` wildcards, of the form `attrname:attrvalue`, which adds to the subset all nodes with a custom node attribute whose name and value match the respective patterns. Custom node attributes are configured by setting properties in the configuration file of the form `node.attr.attrname: attrvalue`. NOTE: node filters run in the order in which they are given, which is important if using filters that remove nodes from the set. For example `_all,master:false` means all the nodes except the master-eligible ones, but `master:false,_all` means the same as `_all` because the `_all` filter runs after the `master:false` filter. NOTE: if no filters are given, the default is to select all nodes. However, if any filters are given then they run starting with an empty chosen subset. This means that filters such as `master:false` which remove nodes from the chosen subset are only useful if they come after some other filters. When used on its own, `master:false` selects no nodes. NOTE: The `voting_only` role requires the {default-dist} of Elasticsearch and is not supported in the {oss-dist}. Here are some examples of the use of node filters with the <> APIs.
