Want to check check if Elastic search “read_only_allow_delete” is true

[bob35 (bob)]

Elastic 6.8 I want to write something (Python) that check if the “read_only_allow_delete” is true, and if it’s true to do something(notify) Is it possible to write something that run all the indices and check the status of “read_only_allow_delete”?

Thanks !

I found some old code from something I was testing, it's based on the Python API

Code:

indices = es.indices.get(index="*")
for k, v in sorted(indices.items()):
     if k == "_all":
          continue
     if k.startswith( "." ):
          continue
     print(k)
     pprint.pprint(v["aliases"])
     pprint.pprint(v["settings"])
     break

If I remember correctly, this gets a GET index/_settings on all indices in the cluster. If v["settings"] ["index"]["blocks"] exists ["read_only"] would be true.

Do a GET _settings on your index with the block to verify the keys, this is from memory....
