elastic stack es security query-user [options]

Find users with a query.

Behaviour flags:

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

--with-profile-uid
Determines whether to retrieve the user profile UID, if it exists, for the users.
--query string
A query to filter which users to return. If the query parameter is missing, it is equivalent to a match_all query. The query supports a subset of query types, including match_all, bool, term, terms, match, ids, prefix, wildcard, exists, range, and simple_query_string. You can query the following information associated with user: username, roles, enabled, full_name, and email.
--from number
The starting document offset. It must not be negative. By default, you cannot page through more than 10,000 hits using the from and size parameters. To page through more hits, use the search_after parameter.
--sort string

The sort definition. Fields eligible for sorting are: username, roles, enabled. In addition, sort can also be applied to the _doc field to sort by index order.

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

--size number
The number of hits to return. It must not be negative. By default, you cannot page through more than 10,000 hits using the from and size parameters. To page through more hits, use the search_after parameter.
--search-after string[]

The search after definition

Repeatable: pass --search-after 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
