=== Nodes info API
++++
<titleabbrev>Nodes info</titleabbrev>
++++

Returns cluster nodes information.


[[cluster-nodes-info-api-request]]
==== {api-request-title}

`GET /_nodes` +

`GET /_nodes/<node_id>` +

`GET /_nodes/<metric>` +

`GET /_nodes/<node_id>/<metric>`

[[cluster-nodes-info-api-prereqs]]
==== {api-prereq-title}

* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have the `monitor` or
`manage` <<privileges-list-cluster,cluster privilege>> to use this API.


[[cluster-nodes-info-api-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}

The cluster nodes info API allows to retrieve one or more (or all) of
the cluster nodes information. All the nodes selective options are explained
<<cluster-nodes,here>>.

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

[[cluster-nodes-info-api-path-params]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}

`<metric>`::
(Optional, string)
Limits the information returned to the specific metrics. Supports a
comma-separated list, such as `http,ingest`.
+
[%collapsible%open]
.Valid values for `<metric>`
====
`http`::
HTTP connection information.

`ingest`::
Information about ingest pipelines and processors.

`jvm`::
JVM stats, memory pool information, garbage collection, buffer pools, number of
loaded/unloaded classes.

`os`::
Operating system stats, load average, mem, swap.

`plugins`::
+
--
Details about the installed plugins and modules per node. The following
information is available for each plugin and module:

* `name`: plugin name
* `version`: version of Elasticsearch the plugin was built for
* `description`: short description of the plugin's purpose
* `classname`: fully-qualified class name of the plugin's entry point
* `has_native_controller`: whether or not the plugin has a native controller
process
--

`process`::
Process statistics, memory consumption, cpu usage, open file descriptors.

`settings`::
Lists all node settings in use as defined in the `elasticsearch.yml` file.

`thread_pool`::
Statistics about each thread pool, including current size, queue and rejected
tasks

`transport`::
Transport statistics about sent and received bytes in cluster communication.

[[cluster-nodes-info-api-response-body]]
==== {api-response-body-title}

`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`::
		{es} version running on this node.

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 <<node.processors, `node.processors`>>
		setting of a node and defaults to the number of processors reported by
		the OS.

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

--------------------------------------------------
# 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
