=== Cluster health API

<titleabbrev>Cluster health</titleabbrev>

Returns the health status of a cluster.
[[cluster-health-api-request]]
==== {api-request-title}
`GET _cluster/health/<target>`
[[cluster-health-api-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
The cluster health API returns a simple status on the health of the
cluster. You can also use the API to get the health status of only specified
data streams and indices. For data streams, the API retrieves the health status
of the stream's backing indices.
The cluster health status is: `green`, `yellow` or `red`. On the shard level, a
`red` status indicates that the specific shard is not allocated in the cluster,
`yellow` means that the primary shard is allocated but replicas are not, and
`green` means that all shards are allocated. The index level status is
controlled by the worst shard status. The cluster status is controlled by the
worst index status.
One of the main benefits of the API is the ability to wait until the cluster
reaches a certain high water-mark health level. For example, the following will
wait for 50 seconds for the cluster to reach the `yellow` level (if it reaches
the `green` or `yellow` status before 50 seconds elapse, it will return at that
point):
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cluster/health?wait_for_status=yellow&timeout=50s

[[cluster-health-api-path-params]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}
`<target>`::
(Optional, string)
Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and index aliases used to limit
the request. Wildcard expressions (`*`) are supported.
+
To target all data streams and indices in a cluster, omit this parameter or use
`_all` or `*`.
[[cluster-health-api-query-params]]
==== {api-query-parms-title}
`level`::
(Optional, string) Can be one of `cluster`, `indices` or `shards`. Controls
the details level of the health information returned. Defaults to `cluster`.
include::{es-repo-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=local]
include::{es-repo-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=timeoutparms]
`wait_for_active_shards`::
(Optional, string) A number controlling to how many active shards to wait
for, `all` to wait for all shards in the cluster to be active, or `0` to not
wait. Defaults to `0`.
`wait_for_events`::
(Optional, string) Can be one of `immediate`, `urgent`, `high`, `normal`,
`low`, `languid`. Wait until all currently queued events with the given
priority are processed.
`wait_for_no_initializing_shards`::
(Optional, Boolean) A boolean value which controls whether to wait (until
the timeout provided) for the cluster to have no shard initializations.
Defaults to false, which means it will not wait for initializing shards.
`wait_for_no_relocating_shards`::
(Optional, Boolean) A boolean value which controls whether to wait (until
the timeout provided) for the cluster to have no shard relocations. Defaults
to false, which means it will not wait for relocating shards.
`wait_for_nodes`::
(Optional, string) The request waits until the specified number `N` of
nodes is available. It also accepts `>=N`, `<=N`, `>N` and `<N`.
Alternatively, it is possible to use `ge(N)`, `le(N)`, `gt(N)` and
`lt(N)` notation.
`wait_for_status`::
(Optional, string) One of `green`, `yellow` or `red`. Will wait (until the
timeout provided) until the status of the cluster changes to the one
provided or better, i.e. `green` > `yellow` > `red`. By default, will not
wait for any status.
[[cluster-health-api-response-body]]
==== {api-response-body-title}
`cluster_name`::
(string) The name of the cluster.
`status`::
include::{es-repo-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=cluster-health-status]
`timed_out`::
(Boolean) If `false` the response returned within the period of
time that is specified by the `timeout` parameter (`30s` by default).
`number_of_nodes`::
(integer) The number of nodes within the cluster.
`number_of_data_nodes`::
(integer) The number of nodes that are dedicated data nodes.
`active_primary_shards`::
(integer) The number of active primary shards.
`active_shards`::
(integer) The total number of active primary and replica shards.
`relocating_shards`::
(integer) The number of shards that are under relocation.
`initializing_shards`::
(integer) The number of shards that are under initialization.
`unassigned_shards`::
(integer) The number of shards that are not allocated.
`delayed_unassigned_shards`::
(integer) The number of shards whose allocation has been delayed by the
timeout settings.
`number_of_pending_tasks`::
(integer) The number of cluster-level changes that have not yet been
executed.
`number_of_in_flight_fetch`::
(integer) The number of unfinished fetches.
`task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis`::
(integer) The time expressed in milliseconds since the earliest initiated task
is waiting for being performed.
`active_shards_percent_as_number`::
(float) The ratio of active shards in the cluster expressed as a percentage.

The API returns the following response in case of a quiet single node cluster
with a single index with one shard and one replica:
[source,console-result]

{
"cluster_name" : "testcluster",
"status" : "yellow",
"timed_out" : false,

The following is an example of getting the cluster health at the
`shards` level:
