# CAT shards
|
|
Introduced 1.0
|
|
{: .label .label-purple }
|
|
|
|
The CAT shards operation lists the state of all primary and replica shards and how they are distributed.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET _cat/shards?v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To see only the information about shards of a specific index, add the index name after your query.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET _cat/shards/<index>?v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to get information for more than one index, separate the indices with commas:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET _cat/shards/index1,index2,index3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Path and HTTP methods
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET _cat/shards
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## URL parameters
|
|
|
|
All cat shards URL parameters are optional.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the [common URL parameters]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/cat/index), you can specify the following parameter:
|
|
|
|
Parameter | Type | Description
|
|
:--- | :--- | :---
|
|

|
|
local | Boolean | Whether to return information from the local node only instead of from the master node. Default is false.
|
|
master_timeout | Time | The amount of time to wait for a connection to the master node. Default is 30 seconds.
