Overview of this book

ElasticSearch is one of the most promising NoSQL technologies available and is built to provide a scalable search solution with built-in support for near real-time search and multi-tenancy. This practical guide is a complete reference for using ElasticSearch and covers 360 degrees of the ElasticSearch ecosystem. We will get started by showing you how to choose the correct transport layer, communicate with the server, and create custom internal actions for boosting tailored needs. Starting with the basics of the ElasticSearch architecture and how to efficiently index, search, and execute analytics on it, you will learn how to extend ElasticSearch by scripting and monitoring its behaviour. Step-by-step, this book will help you to improve your ability to manage data in indexing with more tailored mappings, along with searching and executing analytics with facets. The topics explored in the book also cover how to integrate ElasticSearch with Python and Java applications. This comprehensive guide will allow you to master storing, searching, and analyzing data with ElasticSearch.

Getting node statistic via API


The node statistic call API is used to collect real-time behaviors of your node, for example memory usage, threads usage, number of index, search, and so on.

Getting ready

You need a working ElasticSearch cluster.

How to do it…

For getting nodes statistic, we will perform the steps given as follows:

  1. To retrieve the node statistic, the HTTP method is GET and the curl command is as follows:

    curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes/stats?all=true'
    curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes/<nodeId1>,<nodeId2>/stats?all=true'
  2. The result will be a long description of all the node statistics. The result is composed of the following:

    • A header describing the cluster name and a nodes section:

      {
          "cluster_name": "elasticsearch",
          "nodes": {
              "pyGyXwh1ScqmnDw5etNS0w": {
    • Node filesystem statistics:

      "fs": {
          "data": [
              {
                  "available": "24.6gb",…
                  "dev": "/dev/sda1",..
                  "disk_read_size": "1gb",..
                  "disk_reads...
