Nodes hot threads

Introduced 1.0

The nodes hot threads endpoint provides information about busy JVM threads for selected cluster nodes. It provides a unique view of the of activity each node.

Example

GET /_nodes/hot_threads

Path and HTTP methods

GET /_nodes/hot_threads
GET /_nodes/<nodeId>/hot_threads

Path parameters

You can include the following optional path parameter in your request.

Parameter Type Description
nodeId String A comma-separated list of node IDs used to filter results. Supports node filters. Defaults to _all.

Query parameters

You can include the following query parameters in your request. All query parameters are optional.

Parameter Type Description
snapshots Integer The number of samples of thread stacktraces. Defaults to 10.
interval Time The interval between consecutive samples. Defaults to 500ms.
threads Integer The number of the busiest threads to return information about. Defaults to 3.
ignore_idle_threads Boolean Don’t show threads that are in known idle states, such as waiting on a socket select or pulling from an empty task queue. Defaults to true.
type String Supported thread types are cpu, wait, or block. Defaults to cpu.
timeout Time Sets the time limit for node response. Default value is 30s.

Example request

GET /_nodes/hot_threads

Response

Unlike the majority of OpenSearch API responses, this response is in a text format.

It consists of one section per each cluster node included in the response.

Each section starts with a single line containing the following segments:

Line segment Description
:::  Line start (a distinct visual symbol).
{global-eu-35} Node name.
{uFPbKLDOTlOmdnwUlKW8sw} NodeId.
{OAM8OT5CQAyasWuIDeVyUA} EphemeralId.
{global-eu-35.local} Host name.
{[gdv2:a284:2acv:5fa6:0:3a2:7260:74cf]:9300} Host address.
{dimr} Node roles (d=data, i=ingest, m=cluster manager, r=remote cluster client).
{zone=west-a2, shard_indexing_pressure_enabled=true} Node attributes.

Then information about threads of the selected type is provided.
