Hi;

I have installed Elasticsearch on a Windowd server 2008 but when I starts the tool I have any information on the status ?

> curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)'  
> {  
> "name" : "Roughhouse",  
> "cluster\_name" : "elasticsearch",  
> "version" : {  
> "number" : "2.3.3",  
> "build\_hash" : "218bdf10790eef486ff2c41a3df5cfa32dadcfde",  
> "build\_timestamp" : "2016-05-17T15:40:04Z",  
> "build\_snapshot" : false,  
> "lucene\_version" : "5.5.0"  
> },  
> "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"  
> }

[http://localhost:9200/\_status?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/_status?pretty=true) ===\> returns a web page not found ?

Regards

This API does not exist.

```auto
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200'

```

is fine.

You can also look at the `_cat` API which is super handy IMO.
