Hidden setup for example:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT test1
{
"aliases": {
"alias1": {},
"alias2": {
"filter": {
"match": {
"user": "kimchy"

"alias3": {

// CONSOLE
////
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cat/aliases?v
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[continued]
The API returns the following response:
[source,txt]
--------------------------------------------------
alias index filter routing.index routing.search
alias1 test1 - - -
alias2 test1 * - -
alias3 test1 - 1 1
alias4 test1 - 2 1,2
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/[*]/[*]/ non_json]
This response shows that `alias2` has configured a filter, and specific routing
configurations in `alias3` and `alias4`.
If you only want to get information about specific aliases, you can specify
the aliases in comma-delimited format as a URL parameter, e.g.,
/_cat/aliases/alias1,alias2.
