Hi All,
What is the best way to rank the indices in a cluster according to how many requests they get?
API Index stats?
> **[Index stats API | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.17\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/indices-stats.html)**
Thank you in advance for your insights/opinons!

You can see that in [Elasticsearch Monitoring Metrics | Kibana Guide [8.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/elasticsearch-metrics.html)

Is there an equivalent API call?

Moreover, how can we follow this approach when using the elastic cloud?
If I connect a Kibana, I get:
```auto
We checked the cluster defaults settings for xpack.monitoring.exporters, and found the reason: Exporters are disabled: found-user-defined.
```
If I use the provided kibana, I get:
```auto
Monitoring data not available
Monitoring provides insight to your hardware performance and load.
Configure monitoring through Elasticsearch Service Console
(opens in a new tab or window) Go to Logs and metrics(opens in a new tab or window) section for a deployment to configure monitoring.
```
