Get index settings | Elasticsearch API documentation

Get index settings Generally available

GET /_settings/{name}

Get setting information for one or more indices. For data streams, it returns setting information for the stream's backing indices.

Required authorization

Index privileges: view_index_metadata

Path parameters

name string | array[string] Required

Comma-separated list or wildcard expression of settings to retrieve.

Query parameters

allow_no_indices boolean

If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
expand_wildcards string | array[string]

Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

Values are all, open, closed, hidden, or none.
flat_settings boolean

If true, returns settings in flat format.
ignore_unavailable boolean

If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index.
include_defaults boolean

If true, return all default settings in the response.
local boolean

If true, the request retrieves information from the local node only. If false, information is retrieved from the master node.
master_timeout string

Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

Values are -1 or 0.
