=== Cluster Allocation Explain API
Provides explanations for shard allocations in the cluster.
[[cluster-allocation-explain-api-request]]
==== {api-request-title}
`GET /_cluster/allocation/explain`
[[cluster-allocation-explain-api-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
The purpose of the cluster allocation explain API is to provide
explanations for shard allocations in the cluster. For unassigned shards,
the explain API provides an explanation for why the shard is unassigned.
For assigned shards, the explain API provides an explanation for why the
shard is remaining on its current node and has not moved or rebalanced to
another node. This API can be very useful when attempting to diagnose why a
shard is unassigned or why a shard continues to remain on its current node when
you might expect otherwise.
[[cluster-allocation-explain-api-query-params]]
==== {api-query-parms-title}
`include_disk_info`::
(Optional, boolean) If `true`, returns information about disk usage and
shard sizes. Defaults to `false`.
`include_yes_decisions`::
(Optional, boolean) If `true`, returns 'YES' decisions in explanation.
Defaults to `false`.
[[cluster-allocation-explain-api-request-body]]
==== {api-request-body-title}
`current_node`::
(Optional, string) Specifies the node ID or the name of the node to only
explain a shard that is currently located on the specified node.
`index`::
(Optional, string) Specifies the name of the index that you would like an
explanation for.
`primary`::
(Optional, boolean) If `true`, returns explanation for the primary shard
for the given shard ID.
`shard`::
(Optional, integer) Specifies the ID of the shard that you would like an
explanation for.
You can also have {es} explain the allocation of the first unassigned shard that
it finds by sending an empty body for the request.
