Get thread pool statistics

GET /_cat/thread_pool/{thread_pool_patterns}
GET /_cat/thread_pool

Get thread pool statistics for each node in a cluster. Returned information includes all built-in thread pools and custom thread pools. IMPORTANT: cat APIs are only intended for human consumption using the command line or Kibana console. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the nodes info API.

Required authorization

Authentication

Api key

Authorization: <value>

Elasticsearch APIs support key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example:

		curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"

To get API keys, use the /_security/api_key APIs.

Basic

Authorization: Basic <credentials>

Bearer

Authorization: Bearer <token>

Elasticsearch APIs support the use of bearer tokens in the Authorization HTTP header to authenticate with the API. For examples, refer to Token-based authentication services

Path parameters

Query parameters

h union oneOf

List of columns to appear in the response. Supports simple wildcards.

Supported values include:

active (or a): Number of active threads in the current thread pool.
completed (or c): Number of tasks completed by the thread pool executor.
core (or cr): Configured core number of active threads allowed in the current thread pool.
ephemeral_id (or eid): Ephemeral node ID.
host (or h): Hostname for the current node.
ip (or i): IP address for the current node.
keep_alive (or k): Configured keep alive time for threads.
largest (or l): Highest number of active threads in the current thread pool.
max (or mx): Configured maximum number of active threads allowed in the current thread pool.
name: Name of the thread pool, such as analyze or generic.
node_id (or id): ID of the node, such as k0zy.
node_name: Node name, such as I8hydUG.
pid (or p): Process ID of the running node.
pool_size (or psz): Number of threads in the current thread pool.
port (or po): Bound transport port for the current node.
queue (or q): Number of tasks in the queue for the current thread pool.
queue_size (or qs): Maximum number of tasks permitted in the queue for the current thread pool.
rejected (or r): Number of tasks rejected by the thread pool executor.
size (or sz): Configured fixed number of active threads allowed in the current thread pool.
type (or t): Type of thread pool. Returned values are fixed, fixed_auto_queue_size, direct, or scaling.

Values: active a completed c core cr ephemeral_id eid host h ip i keep_alive k largest l max mx name node_id id node_name pid p pool_size psz port po queue q queue_size qs rejected r size sz type t

s union oneOf

A comma-separated list of column names or aliases that determines the sort order. Sorting defaults to ascending and can be changed by setting :asc or :desc as a suffix to the column name.

One of: string[] or string

local boolean · default: false

If true, the request computes the list of selected nodes from the local cluster state. If false the list of selected nodes are computed from the cluster state of the master node. In both cases the coordinating node will send requests for further information to each selected node.

master_timeout string · default: 30s

The period to wait for a connection to the master node.

format string · default: text

Specifies the format to return the columnar data in, can be set to text, json, cbor, yaml, or smile.

help boolean · default: false

When set to true will output available columns. This option can't be combined with any other query string option.

v boolean · default: false

When set to true will enable verbose output.

bytes enum

Sets the units for columns that contain a byte-size value. Note that byte-size value units work in terms of powers of 1024. For instance 1kb means 1024 bytes, not 1000 bytes. If omitted, byte-size values are rendered with a suffix such as kb, mb, or gb, chosen such that the numeric value of the column is as small as possible whilst still being at least 1.0. If given, byte-size values are rendered as an integer with no suffix, representing the value of the column in the chosen unit. Values that are not an exact multiple of the chosen unit are rounded down.

Values: b kb mb gb tb pb

time enum

Sets the units for columns that contain a time duration. If omitted, time duration values are rendered with a suffix such as ms, s, m or h, chosen such that the numeric value of the column is as small as possible whilst still being at least 1.0. If given, time duration values are rendered as an integer with no suffix. Values that are not an exact multiple of the chosen unit are rounded down.

Values: nanos micros ms s m h d
