You first need to get a reference to a Client, for this type of operations, I suggest using the TransportClient. More info here: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/java-api/client.html). Once you have a client, check the Client#admin().cluster().prepareXXX operations, for example, health, node stats, node info. 2011/8/26 sam [mishra.sameek@gmail.com](mailto:mishra.sameek@gmail.com) > Thanks for your reply.but i'm not connect remotely to an elasticsearch > cluster.which class and method will help me to get for local servers > status. also any available document that help me to understand > elastic java library beside available java docs for that. > > On Aug 26, 10:37 am, "Kun Niu" [haoniu...@gmail.com](mailto:haoniu...@gmail.com) wrote: > > > You can try admin method from trasportclient class. > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: [elasticsearch@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch@googlegroups.com) > > > [[mailto:elasticsearch@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch@googlegroups.com)] On Behalf Of sam > > > Sent: 2011年8月26日 13:36 > > > To: elasticsearch > > > Subject: How to get the cluster running status using java elastic API? > > > > > Hi > > > > > I want to check whether Elasticsearch server running or not and which > > > state > > > it give me information that server running nicely. > > > > > Thanks ---
