Hello, i have the following indices on disk:

220K ./.kibana  
230M ./servicelog-2017.02.24  
37M ./requestlog-2017.02.24  
2.2M ./auditlog-2017.02.24  
269M .

However when i look hit the stats api, i'm seeing quite a different number for total size\_in\_bytes of my indices. 269M vs 96052567bytes

"\_all" : {  
"primaries" : {  
"docs" : {  
"count" : 159823,  
"deleted" : 1  
},  
"store" : {  
"size\_in\_bytes" : 96052567,  
"throttle\_time\_in\_millis" : 0  
},

What's the reason for this discrepancy?

The storage capacity displayed by your local OS includes translog and state information. The indices size\_in\_bytes does not include that.
