Get follower info API

Retrieves information about all follower indices.

Description

This API lists the parameters and the status for each follower index. For example, the results include follower index names, leader index names, replication options and whether the follower indices are active or paused.

Request

GET /<index>/_ccr/info

Path Parameters

index
(string) A comma-delimited list of follower index patterns

Results

This API returns the following information:

follower_indices
(array) An array of follower index statistics

The indices array consists of objects containing several fields:

indices[].follower_index
(string) The name of the follower index
indices[].remote_cluster
(string) The remote cluster that contains the leader index
indices[].leader_index
(string) The name of the index in the leader cluster that is followed
indices[].status
(string) Whether index following is active or paused
indices[].parameters
(object) An object that encapsulates cross-cluster replication parameters

The parameters contains the following fields:

indices[].parameters.max_read_request_operation_count
(integer) The maximum number of operations to pull per read from the remote cluster
indices[].parameters.max_outstanding_read_requests
(long) The maximum number of outstanding read requests from the remote cluster
indices[].parameters.max_read_request_size
(byte value) The maximum size in bytes of per read of a batch of operations pulled from the remote cluster
indices[].parameters.max_write_request_operation_count
(integer) The maximum number of operations per bulk write request executed on the follower
indices[].parameters.max_write_request_size
(byte value) The maximum total bytes of operations per bulk write request executed on the follower
indices[].parameters.max_outstanding_write_requests
(integer) The maximum number of outstanding write requests on the follower
indices[].parameters.max_write_buffer_count
(integer) The maximum number of operations that can be queued for writing. When this limit is reached, reads from the remote cluster are deferred until the number of queued operations goes below the limit
indices[].parameters.max_write_buffer_size
(byte value) The maximum total bytes of operations that can be queued for writing. When this limit is reached, reads from the remote cluster are deferred until the total bytes of queued operations goes below the limit
indices[].parameters.max_retry_delay
(time value) The maximum time to wait before retrying an operation that failed exceptionally. An exponential backoff strategy is employed when retrying
indices[].parameters.read_poll_timeout
(time value) The maximum time to wait for new operations on the remote cluster when the follower index is synchronized with the leader index. When the timeout has elapsed, the poll for operations returns to the follower so that it can update some statistics, then the follower immediately attempts to read from the leader again

Authorization

If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have monitor cluster privileges. For more information, see Security privileges.

Example

This example retrieves follower info:

GET /follower_index/_ccr/info

The API returns the following results:

{
    "follower_indices" : [
        {
            "follower_index" : "follower_index",
            "remote_cluster" : "remote_cluster",
            "leader_index" : "leader_index",
            "status" : "active",
            "parameters" : {
                "max_read_request_operation_count" : 5120,
                "max_read_request_size" : "32mb",
                "max_outstanding_read_requests" : 12,
                "max_write_request_operation_count" : 5120,
                "max_write_request_size" : "9223372036854775807b",
                "max_outstanding_write_requests" : 9,
                "max_write_buffer_count" : 2147483647,
                "max_write_buffer_size" : "512mb",
                "max_retry_delay" : "500ms",
                "read_poll_timeout" : "1m"
            }
        }
    ]
