CAT shards

Introduced 1.0

The CAT shards operation lists the state of all primary and replica shards and how they are distributed.

Example

GET _cat/shards?v

To see only the information about shards of a specific index, add the index name after your query.

GET _cat/shards/<index>?v

If you want to get information for more than one index, separate the indexes with commas:

GET _cat/shards/index1,index2,index3

Path and HTTP methods

GET _cat/shards

URL parameters

All cat shards URL parameters are optional.

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

Parameter Type Description
bytes Byte size Specify the units for byte size. For example, 7kb or 6gb. For more information, see Supported units.
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.
time Time Specify the units for time. For example, 5d or 7h. For more information, see Supported units.
