if i close the index. and open again. the output is bad.. "\_shards" : { "total" : 108, "successful" : 108, "failed" : 0 }, "\_all" : { "primaries" : { "docs" : { **"count" : 1164334263,** "deleted" : 0 }, "store" : { "size\_in\_bytes" : 175744377852, "throttle\_time\_in\_millis" : 0 }, "indexing" : { **"index\_total" : 0,** "index\_time\_in\_millis" : 0, "index\_current" : 0, "index\_failed" : 0, "delete\_total" : 0, "delete\_time\_in\_millis" : 0, "delete\_current" : 0, "noop\_update\_total" : 0, "is\_throttled" : false, "throttle\_time\_in\_millis" : 0 }, why? ---

In one case you count all the documents what ever the index is (`1.164.334.263`) and in the other case you just looked at one index named `xx-20171212-1224` (`467.110.397`). So everything looks good to me. ---

But in one of the screenshots, it shows 1.2B documents for 1 index alone. It shows "1 of 177" indices. ---

On the second screenshot, the count you see includes the nested documents that are present in top-level documents in your index. ---

Thanks for the clarification @val. Does that mean the `curl` request doesn't include the nested documents? ---

The `_count` API does not include the number of nested documents in your index, indeed. Instead you can use the following call to get the correct doc count including the nested ones `curl -XGET http://xx.xx.xx:9200/xx-20171212-1224/_stats/docs?pretty` ---
