Hi All,

How can I get the health status of each index through java API ([http://10.0.1.32:9200/\_cat/indices?v](http://10.0.1.32:9200/_cat/indices?v))

I am able to read all the value except the health for each index through transportclient admin.

Thanks

JAVA API does not expose \_cat API.

But have a look at client.admin().cluster()

It will give you access to the cluster health.

Hope this helps.

BTW, have a look at \_cat API Java source code. It could help you.
