# cat segments
Introduced 1.0
{: .label .label-purple }

The cat segments operation lists Lucene segment-level information for each index.

## Example

```
GET _cat/segments?v
```

To see only the information about segments of a specific index, add the index name after your query.

```
GET _cat/segments/<index>?v
```

If you want to get information for more than one index, separate the indices with commas:

```
GET _cat/segments/index1,index2,index3
```

## Path and HTTP methods

```
GET _cat/segments
```

## URL parameters

All cat segments URL parameters are optional.

In addition to the [common URL parameters]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/rest-api/cat/index), you can specify the following parameter:

Parameter | Type | Description
:--- | :--- | :---
bytes | Byte size | Specify the units for byte size. For example, `7kb` or `6gb`. For more information, see [Supported units]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/units/)..
cluster_manager_timeout | Time | The amount of time to wait for a connection to the cluster manager node. Default is 30 seconds.
