Sorry to post such simple request, but the new online documentation is really useless.  
The reference site to old doc is also useless because the searching feature is broken.

I need to list all the tasks on a particular data node.  
This command shows task list on the cluster with all the nodes:  
GET /\_cat/tasks/?v&detailed=true

I performed such command with parameter before so I know it exists.  
I really appreciated if somebody could help me with the actual parameter to use.  
The one I used before included the node's hostname (I believe).

Thanks in advance.

Never mind. I found it.
