# Elasticsearch node_stats metricset
The `node_stats` metricset interrogates the [Cluster API endpoint](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-nodes-stats) of Elasticsearch to get the cluster nodes statistics. The data received is only for the local node so this Metricbeat has to be run on each Elasticsearch node.
<note>
  The indices stats are node-specific. That means for example the total number of docs reported by all nodes together is not the total number of documents in all indices as there can also be replicas.
</note>

This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.

## Fields

For a description of each field in the metricset, see the [exported fields](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2755/reference/beats/metricbeat/exported-fields-elasticsearch) section.
Here is an example document generated by this metricset:
