Hello everyone, I try to monitor the thread pool for ElasticSearch 5.0.0-rc1 . I followed the documentation : [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/cat-thread-pool.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/cat-thread-pool.html)

```
curl -X GET "http://XXXXXX:9206/_cat/thread_pool/generic?v&h=id,name,size,queue,queue_size,largest,max,active"
id name size queue queue_size largest max active
8aGMLBq4SyetuVcft9gcJg generic 4 0 4 128 0
L76JoIgsTnCvZQihzUWCzw generic 5 0 5 128 0
JUTPQum2S-Ot9zqSmwgydQ generic 4 0 5 128 0

```

However, I do not have the information for the "queue\_size".

Could you explain me ?

Thank you,

Alexandre.

Hello everyone,  
Would you have a solution? ElasticSearch 5.0 is now realase, and I  
would like to use ElasticSearch 5.0 in production. I would have that  
information.

It's a bug?

On ES 2.4 it works fine !

```
curl -X GET "http://X.X.X.X:9205/_cat/thread_pool"
X.X.X.X X.X.X.X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
X.X.X.X X.X.X.X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
X.X.X.X X.X.X.X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 

```

Thank you,  
Alexandre.

I just tested with the release version 5.0.0 and I have the same problem!

The generic thread pool has a queue only bounded available heap. It'd probably make more sense if we outputted "unbounded" instead of empty string in that column though. So I filed an issue
