Tested on elasticsearch versions v2 through v7.12.1
List indexes in cluster
Seeing 3 indices: my-index-1
, my-index-2
and my-index-3
$ curl --silent 'http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices'| sed 's/\s\s*/ /g' | sort
yellow open my-index-1 lYQOirBwSPurSAunxAU3mQ 1 1 0 0 208b 208b
yellow open my-index-2 -QyjBWHvTZe3iuq3ys7Q0A 1 1 0 0 208b 208b
yellow open my-index-3 N_lWgWIKTGGzC18KA8R6PA 1 1 0 0 208b 208b
Create new index
$ curl --silent -X PUT http://localhost:9200/my-new-index
Document count per index
using
jq
to query the json response
$ curl --silent localhost:9200/_stats/docs | jq ."indices"
{
"my-index-1": {
"uuid": "lYQOirBwSPurSAunxAU3mQ",
"primaries": {
"docs": {
"count": 0,
"deleted": 0
}
},
"total": {
"docs": {
"count": 0,
"deleted": 0
}
}
}
}
