CAT nodes
Introduced 1.0
The CAT nodes operation lists node-level information, including node roles and load metrics.
A few important node metrics are pid, name, cluster_manager, ip, port, version, build, jdk, along with disk, heap, ram, and file_desc.
Example
GET _cat/nodes?v
Path and HTTP methods
GET _cat/nodes
