Get index settings
Get setting information for one or more indices. For data streams, it returns setting information for the stream's backing indices.
Query parameters
-
allow_no_indices
boolean 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 targetingfoo*,bar*
returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts withbar
. -
expand_wildcards
string | 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
. -
flat_settings
boolean If
true
, returns settings in flat format. -
ignore_unavailable
boolean If
false
, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index. -
include_defaults
boolean If
true
, return all default settings in the response. -
local
boolean If
true
, the request retrieves information from the local node only. Iffalse
, information is retrieved from the master node. -
master_timeout
string Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

boolean Set to true to parse the origination date from the index name. This origination date is used to calculate the index age for its phase transitions.

total_fields

limit
number | string The maximum number of fields in an index. Field and object mappings, as well as field aliases count towards this limit. The limit is in place to prevent mappings and searches from becoming too large. Higher values can lead to performance degradations and memory issues, especially in clusters with a high load or few resources.
ignore_dynamic_beyond_limit
boolean | string This setting determines what happens when a dynamically mapped field would exceed the total fields limit. When set to false (the default), the index request of the document that tries to add a dynamic field to the mapping will fail with the message Limit of total fields [X] has been exceeded. When set to true, the index request will not fail. Instead, fields that would exceed the limit are not added to the mapping, similar to dynamic: false. The fields that were not added to the mapping will be added to the _ignored field.
-
depth
object Hide depth attribute Show depth attribute object
-
limit
number The maximum depth for a field, which is measured as the number of inner objects. For instance, if all fields are defined at the root object level, then the depth is 1. If there is one object mapping, then the depth is 2, etc.
-
-
nested_fields
object Hide nested_fields attribute Show nested_fields attribute object
-
limit
number The maximum number of distinct nested mappings in an index. The nested type should only be used in special cases, when arrays of objects need to be queried independently of each other. To safeguard against poorly designed mappings, this setting limits the number of unique nested types per index.
-
-
nested_objects

-
limit
number Setting for the maximum length of a field name. This setting isn’t really something that addresses mappings explosion but might still be useful if you want to limit the field length. It usually shouldn’t be necessary to set this setting. The default is okay unless a user starts to add a huge number of fields with really long names. Default is
Long.MAX_VALUE
(no limit).

start_time
string | number A date and time, either as a string whose format can depend on the context (defaulting to ISO 8601), or a number of milliseconds since the Epoch. Elasticsearch accepts both as input, but will generally output a string representation.
One of: Time unit for milliseconds

total_fields
object Hide total_fields attributes Show total_fields attributes object
limit
number | string The maximum number of fields in an index. Field and object mappings, as well as field aliases count towards this limit. The limit is in place to prevent mappings and searches from becoming too large. Higher values can lead to performance degradations and memory issues, especially in clusters with a high load or few resources.
ignore_dynamic_beyond_limit
boolean | string This setting determines what happens when a dynamically mapped field would exceed the total fields limit. When set to false (the default), the index request of the document that tries to add a dynamic field to the mapping will fail with the message Limit of total fields [X] has been exceeded. When set to true, the index request will not fail. Instead, fields that would exceed the limit are not added to the mapping, similar to dynamic: false. The fields that were not added to the mapping will be added to the _ignored field.

depth
object Hide depth attribute Show depth attribute object
-
limit
number The maximum depth for a field, which is measured as the number of inner objects. For instance, if all fields are defined at the root object level, then the depth is 1. If there is one object mapping, then the depth is 2, etc.
-
-
nested_fields
object Hide nested_fields attribute Show nested_fields attribute object
-
limit
number The maximum number of distinct nested mappings in an index. The nested type should only be used in special cases, when arrays of objects need to be queried independently of each other. To safeguard against poorly designed mappings, this setting limits the number of unique nested types per index.

nested_objects
object Hide nested_objects attribute Show nested_objects attribute object
-
limit
number The maximum number of nested JSON objects that a single document can contain across all nested types. This limit helps to prevent out of memory errors when a document contains too many nested objects.

field_name_length
object Hide field_name_length attribute Show field_name_length attribute object
-
limit
number Setting for the maximum length of a field name. This setting isn’t really something that addresses mappings explosion but might still be useful if you want to limit the field length. It usually shouldn’t be necessary to set this setting. The default is okay unless a user starts to add a huge number of fields with really long names. Default is
Long.MAX_VALUE
(no limit).

limit
number Number of outstanding bytes that may be consumed by indexing requests. When this limit is reached or exceeded, the node will reject new coordinating and primary operations. When replica operations consume 1.5x this limit, the node will reject new replica operations. Defaults to 10% of the heap.

allow_mmap
boolean You can restrict the use of the mmapfs and the related hybridfs store type via the setting node.store.allow_mmap. This is a boolean setting indicating whether or not memory-mapping is allowed. The default is to allow it. This setting is useful, for example, if you are in an environment where you can not control the ability to create a lot of memory maps so you need disable the ability to use memory-mapping.
