elasticsearchHow can I list the indexes in Elasticsearch?


To list the indexes in Elasticsearch, you can use the _cat/indices API. This API will return a list of all the indexes in the cluster.

For example, you can use the following cURL command to list all the indexes:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v&pretty'

The output of this command will look like this:

health status index    uuid                   pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
yellow open   myindex  s2G0-6jzTQ6Y3fh2tS9_KQ   5   1       1020            0     1.3mb         1.3mb

The output contains the following parts:

  • health: The health status of the index.
  • status: The open/close status of the index.
  • index: The name of the index.
  • uuid: The unique identifier of the index.
  • pri: The number of primary shards of the index.
  • rep: The number of replica shards of the index.
  • docs.count: The number of documents in the index.
  • docs.deleted: The number of deleted documents in the index.
  • store.size: The total size of the index.
  • pri.store.size: The total size of the primary shards of the index.

For more information, please refer to the Elasticsearch documentation.
