/_stats endpoint not showing closed indices?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello all,

Just need confirmation in that when an index is marked as 'closed', it does
not seem to appear in either "/_status" or "/_stats" API responses?

The only mention of closed indices is found under "/_cluster/state" as

blocks:
{

  • indices:
    {

Is it by design that they should not appear on either indices listing?

Yes. A closed index is invisible to ES. It doesn't maintain any
stats or otherwise look at it until you open it again.

Thanks!

As a note, perhaps the guide should be updated to reflect this... that the
index listing excludes closed indices.
