# Nodes hot threads

The nodes hot threads endpoint provides information about busy JVM threads for selected cluster nodes. It provides a unique view of the of activity each node.

## Example

```json
GET /_nodes/hot_threads
```

## Path and HTTP methods

```bash
GET /_nodes/hot_threads
GET /_nodes/{nodeId}/hot_threads
```

## URL parameters

You can include the following URL parameters in your request. All parameters are optional.

Parameter | Type     | Description
:--- |:----------| :---
nodeId | String    | A comma-separated list of nodeIds to filter results. Supports [node filters](../index/#node-filters). Defaults to `_all`.
snapshots | Integer  | Number of samples of thread stacktraces.Defaults to `10`.
interval | TimeValue | Interval between consecutive samples. Defaults to `500ms`.
threads | Integer   | A number of top busiest threads to return information about. Defaults to `3`.
ignore_idle_threads | Boolean   | Don’t show threads that are in known-idle states, such as waiting on a socket select or pulling from an empty task queue. Defaults to `true`.
type | String    | Supported thread types are `cpu`, `wait`, or `block`. Defaults to `cpu`.
timeout | TimeValue | A request [timeout](../index/#timeout). Defaults to `30s`.

## Response

Unlike the majority of OpenSearch API responses, this response is in a text format.

It consists of one section per each cluster node included in the response.

Each section starts with a single line containing the following segments:

Line segment | Description
:--- |:-------
<code>:::&nbsp;</code>  | Line start (a distinct visual symbol).
`{global-eu-35}` | Node name.
`{uFPbKLDOTlOmdnwUlKW8sw}` | NodeId.
`{OAM8OT5CQAyasWuIDeVyUA}` | EphemeralId.
`{global-eu-35.local}` | Host name.
`{[gdv2:a284:2acv:5fa6:0:3a2:7260:74cf]:9300}` | Host address.
`{dimr}` | Node roles (d=data, i=ingest, m=cluster&nbsp;manager, r=remote&nbsp;cluster&nbsp;client).
`{zone=west-a2, shard_indexing_pressure_enabled=true}` | Node attributes.

Then follows information about threads of selected type.
