elasticsearchHow do I view all the indexes in Elasticsearch?

To view all the indexes in Elasticsearch, you can use the _cat/indices API. This API returns a list of all the existing indexes in an Elasticsearch cluster. For example:

GET /_cat/indices?v

The output of this API will be something like this:

health status index               uuid                   pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
yellow open   index1              k1eR7UZ0R9C7h2t2vY_JQg   5   1       1000            0     5.3mb          5.3mb
yellow open   index2              9VrVVmV6RjmVJy_5L2hKPQ   5   1        500            0     2.6mb          2.6mb

The parts of this code are:

• GET: The type of request we are making to the API.
• /_cat/indices: The API endpoint we are calling.
• ?v: An optional parameter that specifies that we want the API to return verbose output.

For more information about the _cat/indices API, you can refer to the Elasticsearch documentation.
