Its depend on your API

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cluster-health.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/cluster-health.html)

```
GET /_cluster/health/<index>?wait_for_status=yellow&timeout=50s

```

Its gives the index status in your cluster. If you don't mention the index like

```
GET /_cluster/health?wait_for_status=yellow&timeout=50s

```

Its gives the entire cluster status (all indexes will be considered)
