[[cluster-state]]
== Cluster State
The cluster state API allows access to metadata representing the state of the
whole cluster. This includes information such as
* the set of nodes in the cluster
* all cluster-level settings
* information about the indices in the cluster, including their mappings and
settings
* the locations of all the shards in the cluster
The response is an internal representation of the cluster state and its format
may change from version to version. If possible, you should obtain any
information from the cluster state using the other, more stable,
<<cluster,cluster APIs>>.
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cluster/state
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
The response provides the cluster state itself, which can be filtered to only
retrieve the parts of interest as described below.
The cluster's `cluster_uuid` is also returned as part of the top-level response,
in addition to the `metadata` section. added[6.4.0]
NOTE: While the cluster is still forming, it is possible for the `cluster_uuid`
to be `_na_` as well as the cluster state's version to be `-1`.
By default, the cluster state request is routed to the master node, to ensure
that the latest cluster state is returned. For debugging purposes, you can
retrieve the cluster state local to a particular node by adding `local=true` to
the query string.

=== Response Filters
The cluster state contains information about all the indices in the cluster,
including their mappings, as well as templates and other metadata. This means it
can sometimes be quite large. To avoid the need to process all this information
you can request only the part of the cluster state that you need:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cluster/state/{metrics}
GET /_cluster/state/{metrics}/{indices}
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
`{metrics}` is a comma-separated list of the following options.
`version`::
Shows the cluster state version.
`master_node`::
Shows the elected `master_node` part of the response
`nodes`::
Shows the `nodes` part of the response
`routing_table`::
Shows the `routing_table` part of the response. If you supply a comma
separated list of indices, the returned output will only contain the routing
table for these indices.
`metadata`::
Shows the `metadata` part of the response. If you supply a comma separated
list of indices, the returned output will only contain metadata for these
indices.
`blocks`::
Shows the `blocks` part of the response.
`_all`::
Shows all metrics.
The following example returns only `metadata` and `routing_table` data for the
`foo` and `bar` indices:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cluster/state/metadata,routing_table/foo,bar
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
The next example returns everything for the `foo` and `bar` indices:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cluster/state/_all/foo,bar
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
Finally, this example return only the `blocks` metadata:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cluster/state/blocks
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
