[[cluster-nodes-info]]
== Nodes Info

The cluster nodes info API allows to retrieve one or more (or all) of
the cluster nodes information.

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_nodes
GET /_nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE

The first command retrieves information of all the nodes in the cluster.
The second command selectively retrieves nodes information of only
`nodeId1` and `nodeId2`. All the nodes selective options are explained
<<cluster-nodes,here>>.

By default, it just returns all attributes and core settings for a node:

[float]
[[core-info]]

`build_hash`::
	Short hash of the last git commit in this release.

`host`::
	The node's host name.

`ip`::
	The node's IP address.

`name`::
	The node's name.

`total_indexing_buffer`::
	Total heap allowed to be used to hold recently indexed
	documents before they must be written to disk.  This size is
	a shared pool across all shards on this node, and is
        controlled by <<indexing-buffer,Indexing Buffer settings>>.

`total_indexing_buffer_in_bytes`::
	Same as `total_indexing_buffer`, but expressed in bytes.

`transport_address`::
	Host and port where transport HTTP connections are accepted.

`version`::
	Elasticsearch version running on this node.

It also allows to get only information on `settings`, `os`, `process`, `jvm`,
`thread_pool`, `transport`, `http`, `plugins`, `ingest` and `indices`:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
# return just process
GET /_nodes/process

# same as above
GET /_nodes/_all/process

# return just jvm and process of only nodeId1 and nodeId2
GET /_nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2/jvm,process

# same as above
GET /_nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2/info/jvm,process

# return all the information of only nodeId1 and nodeId2
GET /_nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2/_all
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE

The `_all` flag can be set to return all the information - or you can simply omit it.

[float]
[[os-info]]
==== Operating System information

The `os` flag can be set to retrieve information that concern
the operating system:

`os.refresh_interval_in_millis`::
	Refresh interval for the OS statistics

`os.name`::
	Name of the operating system (ex: Linux, Windows, Mac OS X)

`os.arch`::
	Name of the JVM architecture (ex: amd64, x86)

`os.version`::
	Version of the operating system

`os.available_processors`::
	Number of processors available to the Java virtual machine

`os.allocated_processors`::
    The number of processors actually used to calculate thread pool size. This number can be set
    with the `processors` setting of a node and defaults to the number of processors reported by the OS.
    In both cases this number will never be larger than 32.

[float]
[[process-info]]
==== Process information

The `process` flag can be set to retrieve information that concern
the current running process:

`process.refresh_interval_in_millis`::
	Refresh interval for the process statistics

`process.id`::
	Process identifier (PID)

`process.mlockall`::
	Indicates if the process address space has been successfully locked in memory

[float]
[[plugins-info]]
==== Plugins information

`plugins` - if set, the result will contain details about the installed plugins and modules per node:

[source,js]

GET /_nodes/plugins
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
// TEST[setup:node]

The result will look similar to:
