return current write.consistency setting on a data node

Question 1  
i have a 1 shard and 1 replica setting per index which from my reasearch means my write consistency using no setting in the .yml file is a write.consistency of 1?

Question 2  
I am being asked to verify the write consistency level we have on each data node of our cluster

running a curl of [http://localhost:9200/\_nodes/\_local](http://localhost:9200/_nodes/_local)

and dumping the contents isnt showing me anything regarding this setting in a active node.

can this setting be pulled via a curl request?

thanks in advance.

It's a per index setting, not a node one - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index\_.html#index-consistency](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html#index-consistency)

hmm ok , so default behaviour is to take the quorum , and from what you stated this is an index setting unless specified in the data node elasticsearch.yml file ( linux)

is this setting present on the index settings?

doing the following and still not seeing anything

powershell commands:

$test = invoke-webrequest '[http://ipofnode:9200/\_all/\_settings](http://ipofnode:9200/_all/_settings)'  
$test2 = $test.Content  
$test3 = $test2 | convertFrom-json  
write $test3

$test3 | get-member -type NoteProperty | foreach-object {  
$name=$_.Name ;  
$value=$test3."$($_.Name)"  
$value2=$value.settings.Index  
write-host "$name = $value2"  
}
