Hi

I am new joinee in one of the project which uses Elasticsearch cluster.

Could you please help me to find out the way via which i could find and say what all objects are created in Elasticsearch Cluster.

These objects are

1. Indices / Templates / Pipelines / Aliases .. etc

I am aware of \_cat/ modules .. but for that i need to query each and every \_cat module. And if I miss any, then I would miss the object created in my cluster.

Hence would like to know the command / way to have it checked.

Thanks

You could probably get that from the cluster state.

What are you trying to do with it all?

Hi Mark

Yes "\_cluster/state" , indeed does show all the required information with all details...

Could you please help me to cut-short the output only to its names like

aliases - abc , pqr , xyz  
template - abc-\*  
pipeline - mnq-pipe

To have precise output of all objects created manually and excluding system generated ones ..

Thanks
