How can I check the status of an Elasticsearch cluster?
There are several ways to check the status of the Elasticsearch cluster.
- You can use the health check interface of Elasticsearch by sending an HTTP request to http://
:9200/_cluster/health to retrieve the cluster’s health status, including green (healthy), yellow (some replica data is missing), and red (some primary shard data is missing). - To access more detailed information about the cluster status, including node and shard information, you can use the cluster state API of Elasticsearch by sending an HTTP request to http://
:9200/_cluster/state. - By utilizing the Kibana monitoring plugin, you can access the real-time status and performance metrics of your Elasticsearch cluster through Kibana’s monitoring interface if it has been installed.
- Utilize cluster health check tools in Elasticsearch: Elasticsearch offers cluster health check tools such as Elasticsearch Head and Elastic HQ, which can be used to monitor the status of the cluster, node information, index information, etc.
In general, all of the above methods can help you view the real-time status and performance metrics of your Elasticsearch cluster. Choose the appropriate method based on your specific needs.
