How can I tell what specifications were used to setup a river? I can create the curl statement to establish the river but once established how can I see the specifications that the river is running with? The doc says to use "/\_river/{river name}/\_status". Which works but it doesn't give me the specs I used to create the river. You only get a few very generic items. I am looking for such things as: polling frequency, index, type, etc. Thanks for any assistance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Try with \_meta. Does it help? -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 27 août 2013 à 16:00, Richard [richard.seidel@mercy.net](mailto:richard.seidel@mercy.net) a écrit : > ## How can I tell what specifications were used to setup a river?

I think that did it. I did ".../\_river/\/\ and got some replies. I think there is something wrong with how I setup the csv river (which is what I'm investigating and is a different discussion). I can do what you suggest on other rivers that work and it returns results. Thanks Dave.
