Hi,  
I am trying to get name and details of a given plugin alone.  
"GET \_nodes/plugins" this command gives me all plugins. I want o filter like "GET \_nodes/plugins/pluginName" or "GET \_plugin/pluginName"

Any help?

Thanks, Divya

Hey,

you can use the `filter_path` feature to reduce the JSON being returned. Check the [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.3/common-options.html#common-options-response-filtering) for more information on that.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Alex. I guess what you are suggesting is something like this "GET \_nodes/plugins?filter\_path=[nodes.nodename.plugins.name](http://nodes.nodename.plugins.name)"

Besides this i want to filter something like "GET \_nodes/plugins?nodes.nodename.plugins.name=abc". How do i achieve this ?

Hey,

sorry I fully misread that part. This needs to be done client side.
