CAT indices
Introduced 1.0 {: .label .label-purple }
The CAT indexes 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:
GET _cat/indices/index1,index2,index3
{% include copy-curl.html %}
Path and HTTP methods
GET _cat/indices/<index>
GET _cat/indices
