Example with an individual fieldedit
You can specify an individual field in the request body or URL path. The
following fieldata
API request retrieves heap memory size information for the
body
field.
GET /_cat/fielddata?v&fields=body
The API returns the following response:
id host ip node field size Nqk-6inXQq-OxUfOUI8jNQ 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Nqk-6in body 544b
Example with a list of fieldsedit
You can specify a comma-separated list of fields in the request body or URL
path. The following fieldata
API request retrieves heap memory size
information for the body
and soul
fields.
GET /_cat/fielddata/body,soul?v
The API returns the following response:
id host ip node field size Nqk-6inXQq-OxUfOUI8jNQ 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Nqk-6in body 544b Nqk-6inXQq-OxUfOUI8jNQ 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Nqk-6in soul 480b
The response shows the individual fielddata for the body
and soul
fields,
one row per field per node.
Example with all fields in a clusteredit
The following fieldata
API request retrieves heap memory size
information all fields.
GET /_cat/fielddata?v
The API returns the following response:
id host ip node field size Nqk-6inXQq-OxUfOUI8jNQ 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Nqk-6in body 544b Nqk-6inXQq-OxUfOUI8jNQ 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Nqk-6in mind 360b Nqk-6inXQq-OxUfOUI8jNQ 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Nqk-6in soul 480b
