cat indices
Introduced 1.0 {: .label .label-purple }
The cat indices operation lists information related to indices—how much disk space they are using, how many shards they have, their health status, and so on.
Example
GET _cat/indices?v
To limit the information to a specific index, add the index name after your query.
GET _cat/indices/<index>?v
If you want to get information for more than one index, separate the indices with commas:
GET _cat/aliases/index1,index2,index3
Path and HTTP methods
GET _cat/indices/<index>
GET _cat/indices
URL parameters
All cat indices URL parameters are optional.
In addition to the common URL parameters, you can specify the following parameters:
