CAT aliases

Introduced 1.0 {: .label .label-purple }

The CAT aliases operation lists the mapping of aliases to indices, 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

URL parameters

All CAT aliases URL parameters are optional.

In addition to the common URL parameters, you can specify the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
local	Boolean	Whether to return information from the local node only instead of from the master node. Default is false.
expand_wildcards	Enum	Expands wildcard expressions to concrete indices. Combine multiple values with commas. Supported values are all, open, closed, hidden, and none. Default is open.

Response

alias   | index     | filter  | routing.index | routing.search  | is_write_index
alias1  | movies    |   *     |      -        |       -         |      -
.opensearch-dashboards | .opensearch-dashboards_1 |   -     |      -        |       -         |      -
