Hi I'm trying to get a list of closed indices on ES 6.4.2.... This `/_cluster/state/blocks?pretty` this returns

```auto
{
  "cluster_name" : "XXXXXX",
  "compressed_size_in_bytes" : 961428,
  "cluster_uuid" : "XXXXXX",
  "blocks" : { }
}

```

Hi @javadevmtl 6.4 is very old I have been using elastic for 5 years and I started after that.

So plain ole `_cat/indices` does not show closed indices?

As mentioned, that version is [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) and no longer supported, you should be looking to upgrade as a matter of urgency.
