# CAT indices
|
|
**Introduced 1.0**
|
|
{: .label .label-purple }
|
|
|
|
The CAT indices operation lists information related to indexes, that is, how much disk space they are using, how many shards they have, their health status, and so on.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET _cat/indices?v
|
|
```
|
|
{% include copy-curl.html %}
|
|
|
|
To limit the information to a specific index, add the index name after your query.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET _cat/indices/<index>?v
|
|
```
|
|
{% include copy-curl.html %}
|
|
|
|
If you want to get information for more than one index, separate the indexes with commas:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
GET _cat/indices/index1,index2,index3
|
|
```
|
|
{% include copy-curl.html %}
|
|
|
|
## Path and HTTP methods
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET _cat/indices/<index>
|
|
GET _cat/indices
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
