Hello,

I get information about the status of my indices using: curl 'localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v'

It all was working fine until I did the last insertion of 500K documents to one of my indices. Apparently, the insertion went fine; however, I can no more see any info about this index.

Here is what I get with the cat command:

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Can you try:

curl [http://localhost:9200/yourindex/\_stats?pretty](http://localhost:9200/yourindex/_stats?pretty)

Does this return anything?

Thank you for replying @msimos

It returns:

{  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 2,  
"successful" : 0,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"\_all" : {  
"primaries" : { },  
"total" : { }  
},  
"indices" : { }  
}

But I know there is data in there, around 6M docs

If you do:

GET /yourindex/\_search  
{  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
}  
}

What does total say under hits.
