I wrote a performance testing tool that retrieves node statistics periodically and summarizes the statistics at the end of each performance test run. Is there a way to reset the statistics of a node preferably without shutting down the node?

Hi Andreas, I don't think this is doable, but it may be an interesting feature to add. ## Otis Performance Monitoring \* Log Analytics \* Search Analytics Solr & Elasticsearch Support \* [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) On Wednesday, November 6, 2013 1:42:41 PM UTC-5, Andreas Christoforides wrote: > I wrote a performance testing tool that retrieves node statistics > periodically and summarizes the statistics at the end of each performance > test run. > > Is there a way to reset the statistics of a node preferably without > shutting down the node? > > Thanks, > Andreas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

If you want to reset the system for another performance run, wouldn't you want to reset the node anyway to avoid warmed up cache issues?

Restarting the nodes would be the ideal approach but the functionality to restart a node using either the Java API or the REST API is currently disabled: > > > Hiya > > I started two nodes with \`./bin/elasticsearch\` and once settled, issued a:… > > \`\`\` > curl -XPOST 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/\_cluster/nodes/\_restart' > \`\`\` > > The nodes restart, but no node is made master, so they are essentially zombies.

Take a look at this script [https://github.com/abronner/elasticsearch-monitoring](https://github.com/abronner/elasticsearch-monitoring) It dumps node stats into an index. Perhaps you could do some queries and math before and after your tests -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
