* Remove `es-test-dir` book-scoped variable

* Remove `plugins-examples-dir` book-scoped variable

* Remove `:dependencies-dir:` and `:xes-repo-dir:` book-scoped variables

- In `index.asciidoc`, two variables (`:dependencies-dir:` and `:xes-repo-dir:`) were removed.
- In `sql/index.asciidoc`, the `:sql-tests:` path was updated to fuller path
- In `esql/index.asciidoc`, the `:esql-tests:` path was updated idem

=== Get index settings API
++++
<titleabbrev>Get index settings</titleabbrev>
++++
Returns setting information for one or more indices. For data streams, the API
returns setting information for the stream's backing indices.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /my-index-000001/_settings
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:my_index]
[[get-index-settings-api-request]]
==== {api-request-title}
`GET /<target>/_settings`
`GET /<target>/_settings/<setting>`
[[get-index-settings-api-prereqs]]
==== {api-prereq-title}
* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have the
`view_index_metadata`, `monitor`, or `manage` <<privileges-list-indices,index
privilege>> for the target data stream, index, or alias.
[[get-index-settings-api-path-params]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}
`<target>`::
(Optional, string) Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases
used to limit the request. Supports wildcards (`*`). To target all data streams
and indices, omit this parameter or use `*` or `_all`.
`<setting>`::
(Optional, string) Comma-separated list or wildcard expression of setting names
used to limit the request.
[[get-index-settings-api-query-params]]
==== {api-query-parms-title}
include::{es-ref-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=allow-no-indices]
+
Defaults to `true`.
include::{es-ref-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=expand-wildcards]

==== {api-examples-title}
===== Multiple data streams and indices
The get settings API can be used to get settings for more than one data stream or index with a
single call. To get settings for all indices in a cluster, you can use `_all` or `*` for `<target>`.
Wildcard expressions are also supported. The following are some examples:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /my-index-000001,my-index-000002/_settings
GET /_all/_settings
GET /log_2099_*/_settings
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:my_index]
// TEST[s/^/PUT my-index-000002\nPUT log_2099_01_01\n/]
===== Filtering settings by name
The settings that are returned can be filtered with wildcard matching
as follows:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /log_2099_-*/_settings/index.number_*
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[continued]
