Possible to see how 'busy' an index is vis-a-vis updates?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi everyone,

We use elasticsearch at work and it's terrific. One thing we do use is run
various curl commands against its status and cluster health apis, to make
sure the cluster's in good shape before we run queries in our scripts.

However, sometimes our logging infrastructure backs up and doesn't populate
the indices as quickly as it should. In situations like these when I query
an index I'll get either no hits or a very low number.

Is there an API I can use to see whether an index is being updated
periodically?

You can do a count and then monitor that, but there is not a specific API
endpoint for this sort of thing (unless I forgot one).
