cat nodes

edit

The nodes command shows the cluster topology. For example

GET /_cat/nodes?v

Might look like:

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                  mdi       *      mJw06l1

The first few columns (ip, heap.percent, ram.percent, cpu, load_*) tell you where your nodes live and give a quick picture of performance stats.

The last (node.role, master, and name) columns provide ancillary information that can often be useful when looking at the cluster as a whole, particularly large ones. How many master-eligible nodes do I have?

The nodes API accepts an additional URL parameter full_id accepting true or false. The purpose of this parameter is to format the ID field (if requested with id or nodeId) in its full length or in abbreviated form (the default).

Columns

edit

Below is an exhaustive list of the existing headers that can be passed to nodes?h= to retrieve the relevant details in ordered columns. If no headers are specified, then those marked to Appear by Default will appear. If any header is specified, then the defaults are not used.

Aliases can be used in place of the full header name for brevity. Columns appear in the order that they are listed below unless a different order is specified (e.g., h=pid,id versus h=id,pid).

When specifying headers, the headers are not placed in the output by default. To have the headers appear in the output, use verbose mode (v). The header name will match the supplied value (e.g., pid versus p). For example:

GET /_cat/nodes?v&h=id,ip,port,v,m

Might look like:

id   ip        port  v         m
