And is there a way to configure whether to include the default system indices, whose names start with a dot?
Welcome!
You can use the _cat API.
Something like:
curl localhost:9200/_cat/indices | wc -l
You can try something like:
curl localhost:9200/_cat/indices/*,-.* | wc -l
Not tested but I think it should exclude indices starting with a dot.
Please don't post images of text as they are hard to read, may not display correctly for everyone, and are not searchable.
Instead, paste the text and format it with </> icon or pairs of triple backticks (```), and check the preview window to make sure it's properly formatted before posting it. This makes it more likely that your question will receive a useful answer.
It would be great if you could update your post to solve this.
Here, I think the number of indices is 9, right?
I don't see an 'Edit' link to any of my existing post.
Seems like correct. But what does the *,-.* mean in the second command? The first command seems to list all indices, including the system ones, while the second to list the ones that I created. But what's the meaning of those symbols in the path? Any document?
It means
* (All the indices), -.* (But not the indices that start with . Which are system indices)

For anyone looking for elaboration of the pattern string, I found this link for reference.
