(Optional, boolean)
[7.6.0]
Deprecated in 7.6.0. This parameter does not cause this API to act locally. It will be removed in version 8.0.
If

, which means the list of selected nodes is computed from the cluster state on the master node. In either case the coordinating node sends a request for further information to each selected node. -

Examplesedit
Example with default columnsedit
GET /_cat/nodes?v
The API returns the following response:
ip heap.percent ram.percent cpu load_1m load_5m load_15m node.role master name 127.0.0.1 65 99 42 3.07 dim * mJw06l1
The ip
, heap.percent
, ram.percent
, cpu
, and load_*
columns provide the
IP addresses and performance information of each node.
The node.role
, master
, and name
columns provide information useful for
monitoring an entire cluster, particularly large ones.
Example with explicit columnsedit
The following API request returns the id
, ip
, port
, v
(version), and m
(master) columns.
GET /_cat/nodes?v&h=id,ip,port,v,m
The API returns the following response:
id ip port v m veJR 127.0.0.1 59938 7.7.1 *
