[IMPORTANT]
|
|
====
|
|
cat APIs are only intended for human consumption using the command line or the
|
|
{kib} console. They are _not_ intended for use by applications. For application
|
|
consumption, use the <<aliases,aliases API>>.
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
Retrieves the cluster's <<aliases,index aliases>>, including filter and routing
|
|
information. The API does not return <<data-streams,data stream>> aliases.
|
|
|
|
[[cat-alias-api-request]]

`GET _cat/aliases`

[[cat-alias-api-prereqs]]
|
|
==== {api-prereq-title}
|
|
|
|
* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have the
|
|
`view_index_metadata` or `manage` <<privileges-list-indices,index privilege>>
|
|
for any alias you retrieve.

[[cat-alias-api-path-params]]

|
|
|
|
`<alias>`::
|
|
(Optional, string) Comma-separated list of aliases to retrieve. Supports
|
|
wildcards (`*`). To retrieve all aliases, omit this parameter or use `*` or
|
|
`_all`.

GET _cat/aliases?v=true

The API returns the following response:
|
|
|
|
[source,txt]
|
|
----
|
|
alias index filter routing.index routing.search is_write_index
|
|
alias1 test1 - - - -
|
|
alias2 test1 * - - -
|
|
alias3 test1 - 1 1 -
|
|
alias4 test1 - 2 1,2 -
|
|
----
|
|
// TESTRESPONSE[s/[*]/[*]/ non_json]
|
|
|
|
This response shows that `alias2` has configured a filter, and specific routing
|
|
configurations in `alias3` and `alias4`.
|
|
|
|
If you only want to get information about specific aliases, you can specify
|
|
the aliases in comma-delimited format as a URL parameter, e.g.,
|
|
/_cat/aliases/alias1,alias2.
