[[cat-nodes]]
== cat nodes

The `nodes` command shows the cluster topology. For example

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cat/nodes?v
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE

Might look like:

[source,txt]
--------------------------------------------------
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
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/3.07/(\\d+\\.\\d+( \\d+\\.\\d+ (\\d+\\.\\d+)?)?)?/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/65          99  42/\\d+ \\d+ \\d+/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/[*]/[*]/ s/mJw06l1/.+/ _cat]

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?

[float]
=== Columns

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:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cat/nodes?v&h=id,ip,port,v,m
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE

Might look like:

["source","js",subs="attributes,callouts"]
--------------------------------------------------
id   ip        port  v         m
veJR 127.0.0.1 59938 {version} *
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/veJR/.+/ s/59938/\\d+/ s/[*]/[*]/ _cat]
