Returns cluster nodes information.

[[cluster-nodes-info-api-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
The cluster nodes info API allows to retrieve one or more (or all) of
the cluster nodes information. All the nodes selective options are explained
<>.
By default, it returns all attributes and core settings for a node.

==== {api-path-parms-title}
``::
(Optional, string) Limits the information returned to the specific metrics.
A comma-separated list of the following options:
+
--
`http`::
HTTP connection information.
`ingest`::
Statistics about ingest preprocessing.
`jvm`::
JVM stats, memory pool information, garbage collection, buffer pools, number
of loaded/unloaded classes.
`os`::
Operating system stats, load average, mem, swap.
`plugins`::
Details about the installed plugins and modules per node. The following
information are available for each plugin and module:
+
---
* `name`: plugin name
* `version`: version of Elasticsearch the plugin was built for
* `description`: short description of the plugin's purpose
* `classname`: fully-qualified class name of the plugin's entry point
* `has_native_controller`: whether or not the plugin has a native controller
process
---
`process`::
Process statistics, memory consumption, cpu usage, open file descriptors.
`settings`::
`thread_pool`::
Statistics about each thread pool, including current size, queue and
rejected tasks
`transport`::
Transport statistics about sent and received bytes in cluster communication.

[[cluster-nodes-info-api-response-body]]
==== {api-response-body-title}
`build_hash`::
Short hash of the last git commit in this release.
`host`::
The node's host name.
`ip`::
The node's IP address.
`name`::
The node's name.
`total_indexing_buffer`::
Total heap allowed to be used to hold recently indexed
documents before they must be written to disk. This size is
a shared pool across all shards on this node, and is
controlled by <>.
`total_indexing_buffer_in_bytes`::
Same as `total_indexing_buffer`, but expressed in bytes.
`transport_address`::
Host and port where transport HTTP connections are accepted.
`version`::
{es} version running on this node.
The `os` flag can be set to retrieve information that concern the operating
system:
`os.refresh_interval_in_millis`::
Refresh interval for the OS statistics
`os.name`::
Name of the operating system (ex: Linux, Windows, Mac OS X)
`os.arch`::
Name of the JVM architecture (ex: amd64, x86)
`os.version`::
Version of the operating system
`os.available_processors`::
Number of processors available to the Java virtual machine
`os.allocated_processors`::
The number of processors actually used to calculate thread pool size. This
number can be set with the `processors` setting of a node and defaults to
the number of processors reported by the OS. In both cases this number will
never be larger than 32.
The `process` flag can be set to retrieve information that concern the current
running process:
`process.refresh_interval_in_millis`::
Refresh interval for the process statistics
`process.id`::
Process identifier (PID)
`process.mlockall`::
Indicates if the process address space has been successfully locked in memory

--------------------------------------------------
# return just process
GET /_nodes/process
# same as above
GET /_nodes/_all/process
# return just jvm and process of only nodeId1 and nodeId2
GET /_nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2/jvm,process
# same as above
GET /_nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2/info/jvm,process
# return all the information of only nodeId1 and nodeId2
GET /_nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2/_all
--------------------------------------------------
The `_all` flag can be set to return all the information - or you can omit it.
