[id="{upid}-{api}"]
=== Cluster Health API

The Cluster Health API allows getting cluster health.

[id="{upid}-{api}-request"]
==== Cluster Health Request

A +{request}+:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request]
--------------------------------------------------
There are no required parameters. By default, the client will check all indices and will not wait
for any events.

==== Indices

Indices which should be checked can be passed in the constructor:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-indices-ctr]
--------------------------------------------------

Or using the corresponding setter method:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-indices-setter]
--------------------------------------------------

==== Other parameters

Other parameters can be passed only through setter methods:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-timeout]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Timeout for the request as a `TimeValue`. Defaults to 30 seconds
<2> As a `String`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-master-timeout]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Timeout to connect to the master node as a `TimeValue`. Defaults to the same as `timeout`
<2> As a `String`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-wait-status]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The status to wait (e.g. `green`, `yellow`, or `red`). Accepts a `ClusterHealthStatus` value.
<2> Using predefined method

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-wait-events]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The priority of the events to wait for. Accepts a `Priority` value.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-level]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The level of detail of the returned health information. Accepts a +{request}.Level+ value.
Default value is `cluster`.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-wait-relocation]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Wait for 0 relocating shards. Defaults to `false`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-wait-initializing]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Wait for 0 initializing shards. Defaults to `false`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-wait-nodes]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Wait for `N` nodes in the cluster. Defaults to `0`
<2> Using `>=N`, `<=N`, `>N` and `<N` notation
<3> Using `ge(N)`, `le(N)`, `gt(N)`, `lt(N)` notation

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-wait-active]
--------------------------------------------------

<1> Wait for all shards to be active in the cluster
<2> Wait for `N` shards to be active in the cluster

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request-local]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Non-master node can be used for this request. Defaults to `false`
