Path parameters

  • indexstring | array[string] Required

    A comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases to search. It supports wildcards (*). To search all data streams and indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.

Query parameters

  • allow_no_indicesboolean

    If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.

  • expand_wildcardsstring | array[string]

    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. Valid values are: all, open, closed, hidden, none.

    Values are all, open, closed, hidden, or none.

  • ignore_unavailableboolean

    If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index.

  • localboolean

    If true, the request retrieves information from the local node only.

  • master_timeoutstring

    The period to wait for a connection to the master node. If the master node is not available before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. IT can also be set to -1 to indicate that the request should never timeout.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • preferencestring

    The node or shard the operation should be performed on. It is random by default.

  • routingstring

    A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
