Hi there,  
I have a 7.5.1 production cluster of 3 nodes running.  
I am wondering: doing this  
GET /\_cluster/settings empty  
just gives me:  
I would expect more.  
Background: I have reached on all 3 nodes the disk watermarks and was hoping to find the defined watermark setting with this command. I have found them in the log.  
cheers  
Stefano

Have you tried using the [include\_defaults setting described in the docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.9/cluster-get-settings.html#cluster-get-settings-api-query-params)?

Great! Thank you for the hint.  
So this is how it should look like:  
**GET /\_cluster/settings?include\_defaults**
