Yes, Marvel uses Elasticsearch to index all of the metrics that it charts (plus some more). Take a look at the `.marvel-*` indices. You can get the list of them by checking `_cat/indices`: ```auto $ curl -XGET host:9200/_cat/indices?v ``` Hope that helps ---

But that will give info only about the marvel indices .. I basically need to know the number of shards per node of my production elastic search cluster which marvel is monitoring ---
