CAT aliases
Introduced 1.0 {: .label .label-purple }
The CAT aliases operation lists the mapping of aliases to indexes, plus routing and filtering information.
Example
GET _cat/aliases?v
{% include copy-curl.html %}
To limit the information to a specific alias, add the alias name after your query:
GET _cat/aliases/<alias>?v
{% include copy-curl.html %}
If you want to get information for more than one alias, separate the alias names with commas:
GET _cat/aliases/alias1,alias2,alias3
{% include copy-curl.html %}
Path and HTTP methods
GET _cat/aliases/<alias>
GET _cat/aliases
