Cluster management APIs
/ Cluster, / Allocation, / Join TokenCluster management APIs #
Operator-facing /_cluster/* endpoints beyond
health and
state:
the allocation dashboard, node removal, and join-token management.
Regions #
GET /_cluster/_regions
A lightweight summary of every region this node knows about — identity
(name, uuid, zone), leader, member nodes with their API/RPC addresses,
and per-region counts. The region serving the request is marked local,
telling you which /_cluster/_region/_local/... endpoints apply to it.
Allocation dashboard #
GET /_cluster/allocation
The leader’s shard-allocation view: the effective cluster.routing.*
settings, per-node shard load, the recent allocation/relocation task
history (newest first) and how many tasks are in flight. Answers “what
is the allocator doing right now”.
