elasticsearchHow do I list all the indexes in Elasticsearch?

To list all the indexes in Elasticsearch, you can use the _cat API. The _cat API provides a convenient way to interact with the cluster and retrieve information about the nodes, indices, and shards.

Example

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

Output example

health status index               uuid                   pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
yellow open   test_index          XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX     5   1          0            0       5.3kb          5.3kb

The _cat/indices API provides the following information about each index:

• health: The health status of the index (green, yellow, or red).
• status: Whether the index is open or closed.
• index: The name of the index.
• uuid: A unique identifier for the index.
• pri: The number of primary shards in the index.
• rep: The number of replica shards in the index.
• docs.count: The number of documents in the index.
• docs.deleted: The number of deleted documents in the index.
• store.size: The size of the index in bytes.
• pri.store.size: The size of the primary shards in bytes.

For more information, please refer to the Elasticsearch documentation.
