[[cat-nodeattrs-api-ex-default]]
===== Example with default columns

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cat/nodeattrs?v=true
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[s/\?v=true/\?v=true&s=node,attr/]
// Sort the resulting attributes so we can assert on them more easily

The API returns the following response:

[source,txt]
--------------------------------------------------
node    host      ip        attr     value
...
node-0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 testattr test
...
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/\.\.\.\n$/\n(.+ xpack\\.installed true\n)?\n/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/\.\.\.\n/(.+ ml\\..+\n)*/ non_json]
// If xpack is not installed then neither ... with match anything
// If xpack is installed then the first ... contains ml attributes
// and the second contains xpack.installed=true

The `node`, `host`, and `ip` columns provide basic information about each node.
The `attr` and `value` columns return custom node attributes, one per line.

[[cat-nodeattrs-api-ex-headings]]
===== Example with explicit columns

The following API request returns the `name`, `pid`, `attr`, and `value`
columns.

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /_cat/nodeattrs?v=true&h=name,pid,attr,value
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[s/,value/,value&s=node,attr/]
// Sort the resulting attributes so we can assert on them more easily

The API returns the following response:

[source,txt]
--------------------------------------------------
name    pid   attr     value
...
node-0 19566 testattr test
...
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/19566/\\d*/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/\.\.\.\n$/\n(.+ xpack\\.installed true\n)?\n/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/\.\.\.\n/(.+ ml\\..+\n)*/ non_json]
// If xpack is not installed then neither ... with match anything
// If xpack is installed then the first ... contains ml attributes
// and the second contains xpack.installed=true
