Cluster health

Introduced 1.0 {: .label .label-purple }

The most basic cluster health request returns a simple status of the health of your cluster. OpenSearch expresses cluster health in three colors: green, yellow, and red. A green status means all primary shards and their replicas are allocated to nodes. A yellow status means all primary shards are allocated to nodes, but some replicas aren't. A red status means at least one primary shard is not allocated to any node.

To get the status of a specific index, provide the index name.

Example

This request waits 50 seconds for the cluster to reach the yellow status or better:

GET _cluster/health?wait_for_status=yellow&timeout=50s

If the cluster health becomes yellow or green before 50 seconds elapse, it returns a response immediately. Otherwise it returns a response as soon as it exceeds the timeout.

Path and HTTP methods

GET _cluster/health
GET _cluster/health/<index>

URL parameters

All cluster health parameters are optional.

Parameter	Type	Description
expand_wildcards	Enum	Expands wildcard expressions to concrete indexes. Combine multiple values with commas. Supported values are `all`, `open`, `closed`, `hidden`, and `none`. Default is `open`.
level	Enum	The level of detail for returned health information. Supported values are `cluster`, `indices`, and `shards`. Default is `cluster`.
local	Boolean	Whether to return information from the local node only instead of from the cluster manager node. Default is false.
cluster_manager_timeout	Time	The amount of time to wait for a connection to the cluster manager node. Default is 30 seconds.
timeout	Time	The amount of time to wait for a response. If the timeout expires, the request fails. Default is 30 seconds.
wait_for_active_shards	String	Wait until the specified number of shards is active before returning a response. `all` for all shards. Default is `0`.
wait_for_nodes	String	Wait for N number of nodes. Use `12` for exact match, `>12` and `<12` for range.
wait_for_events	Enum	Wait until all currently queued events with the given priority are processed. Supported values are `immediate`, `urgent`, `high`, `normal`, `low`, and `languid`.
wait_for_no_relocating_shards	Boolean	Whether to wait until there are no relocating shards in the cluster. Default is false.
wait_for_no_initializing_shards	Boolean	Whether to wait until there are no initializing shards in the cluster. Default is false.
wait_for_status	Enum	Wait until the cluster health reaches the specified status or better. Supported values are `green`, `yellow`, and `red`.
