Is there an easy way to find all indices belonging to box type hot?

I know that I can run `GET /_nodes/box_type:hot` to get all the nodes, and then maybe run a second step to find which node an index belong to, but I’m trying to see if there’s an endpoint that I can run directly insider Kibana.

Thanks!

From 7.13 we [introduced](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/69288) a queryable metadata field which is the `_tier` field and represents the allocation routing preference(s) assigned to an index. Of course a preference is just that and in reality an index may not be held on its preferred choice of hot/warm etc but in practice you would hope most of the time this choice would be fulfilled.

To get a list of indices which have a stated preference to be on hot nodes you'd need something like this:

```auto
GET /*/_search
{
"query": {
    "terms": {
      "_tier": ["data_hot"] 
    }
  },
  "size":0,
  "aggs":{
    "indices":{
      "terms": {
        "field": "_index",
        "size": 100
      }
    }
  }
}

```
