Serverless Preview

Elastic Cloud Serverless projects are autoscaled environments, fully managed by Elastic and available on Elastic Cloud.

Availability

  • Preview

    This functionality is in technical preview and is ready for evaluation. Use with caution in production; it is not recommended for mission-critical workloads. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. Specific Support terms apply.

Serverless interfaces and procedures might differ from classic Elastic Stack deployments.

Stack Preview

The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats.

Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments.

elastic stack es indices stats [options]

Get index statistics.

Behaviour flags:

--dry-run — validate all inputs and exit without performing any action

--completion-fields string

Comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in fielddata and suggest statistics.

Repeatable: pass --completion-fields multiple times to supply more than one value

--expand-wildcards enum

Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

Values: all, open, closed, hidden, none

Repeatable: pass --expand-wildcards multiple times to supply more than one value

--fielddata-fields string

Comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in fielddata statistics.

Repeatable: pass --fielddata-fields multiple times to supply more than one value

--fields string

Comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in the statistics.

Repeatable: pass --fields multiple times to supply more than one value

--forbid-closed-indices
If true, statistics are not collected from closed indices.
--groups string

Comma-separated list of search groups to include in the search statistics.

Repeatable: pass --groups multiple times to supply more than one value

--include-segment-file-sizes
If true, the call reports the aggregated disk usage of each one of the Lucene index files (only applies if segment stats are requested).
--include-unloaded-segments
If true, the response includes information from segments that are not loaded into memory.
--level enum

Indicates whether statistics are aggregated at the cluster, indices, or shards level.

Values: cluster, indices, shards

--metric enum

Comma-separated list of metrics used to limit the request.

Values: _all, store, indexing, get, search, merge, flush, refresh, query_cache, fielddata, docs, warmer, completion, segments, translog, request_cache, recovery, bulk, shard_stats, mappings, dense_vector, sparse_vector

Repeatable: pass --metric multiple times to supply more than one value

--index string

A comma-separated list of index names; use _all or empty string to perform the operation on all indices

Repeatable: pass --index multiple times to supply more than one value

--error-trace
When set to true Elasticsearch will include the full stack trace of errors when they occur.
--filter-path string

Comma-separated list of filters in dot notation which reduce the response returned by Elasticsearch.

Repeatable: pass --filter-path multiple times to supply more than one value

--human
When set to true will return statistics in a format suitable for humans. For example "exists_time": "1h" for humans and "exists_time_in_millis": 3600000 for computers. When disabled the human readable values will be omitted. This makes sense for responses being consumed only by machines.
--pretty
If set to true the returned JSON will be "pretty-formatted". Only use this option for debugging only.
--input-file string
path to a JSON file to use as command input
--dry-run
validate all inputs and exit without performing any action (preview changes without applying them)
--no-validate
skip input validation and send the request as-is
--output-fields string
comma-separated list of fields to include in output (dot-notation supported)
--output-template string
Mustache-like template for custom text output (e.g. "{{id}}: {{name}}")
--json

output as JSON
