Node Info API

edit

The node info API retrieves information about the node.

curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/<types>'

Where <types> is optional and specifies the types of node info you want to return.

You can limit the info that’s returned by combining any of the following types in a comma-separated list:

pipelines

Gets pipeline-specific information and settings for each pipeline.

os

Gets node-level info about the OS.

jvm

Gets node-level JVM info, including info about threads.

See Common Options for a list of options that can be applied to all Logstash monitoring APIs.

Pipeline Info
edit

The following request returns a JSON document that shows pipeline info, such as the number of workers, batch size, and batch delay:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/pipelines?pretty'

If you want to view additional information about a pipeline, such as stats for each configured input, filter, or output stage, see the Pipeline Stats section under the Node Stats API.

Example response:

{
  "pipelines" : {
    "test" : {
      "workers" : 1,
      "batch_size" : 1,
      "batch_delay" : 5,
      "config_reload_automatic" : false,
      "config_reload_interval" : 3
    },
    "test2" : {
      "workers" : 8,
      "batch_size" : 125,
      "batch_delay" : 5,
      "config_reload_automatic" : false,
      "config_reload_interval" : 3
    }
  }

You can see the info for a specific pipeline by including the pipeline ID. In the following example, the ID of the pipeline is test:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/pipelines/test?pretty'

Example response:

{
  "pipelines" : {
    "test" : {
      "workers" : 1,
      "batch_size" : 1,
      "batch_delay" : 5,
      "config_reload_automatic" : false,
      "config_reload_interval" : 3
    }
  }

If you specify an invalid pipeline ID, the request returns a 404 Not Found error.

OS Info

edit

The following request returns a JSON document that shows the OS name, architecture, version, and available processors:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/os?pretty'

Example response:

{
  "os": {
    "name": "Mac OS X",
    "arch": "x86_64",
    "version": "10.12.4",
    "available_processors": 8
  }

JVM Info

edit

The following request returns a JSON document that shows node-level JVM stats, such as the JVM process id, version, VM info, memory usage, and info about garbage collectors:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/jvm?pretty'

Example response:

{
  "jvm": {
    "pid": 59616,
    "version": "1.8.0_65",
    "vm_name": "Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM",
    "vm_version": "1.8.0_65",
    "vm_vendor": "Oracle Corporation",
    "start_time_in_millis": 1484251185878,
    "mem": {
      "heap_init_in_bytes": 268435456,
      "heap_max_in_bytes": 1037959168,
      "non_heap_init_in_bytes": 2555904,
      "non_heap_max_in_bytes": 0
    },
    "gc_collectors": [
      "ParNew",
      "ConcurrentMarkSweep"
    ]
  }
