Nodes Feature Usage

Nodes usage

The cluster nodes usage API allows to retrieve information on the usage of features for each node.

GET _nodes/usage
GET _nodes/nodeId1,nodeId2/usage

The first command retrieves usage of all the nodes in the cluster. The second command selectively retrieves nodes usage of only nodeId1 and nodeId2. All the nodes selective options are explained here.
