Elasticsearch _cat/indices is giving error?

Currently I am using elasticsearch helper scan api, but it is not able to fetch data.

command : 

helpers.scan(
        client=client,
        query={"query":{"match_all":{}}},
        scroll='10m',
        index="debug", 
        doc_type = "tool", 
        _source=True
    )

output :

......
generator object scan at 0x1556640
generator object scan at 0x1556640
generator object scan at 0x1556640
generator object scan at 0x1556640
generator object scan at 0x1556640
.......

when I am doing 

curl -XGET"http://localhost:9200/debug/tool/_search?pretty=true&q=*:*"

(only 10 by default) it is able to fetch the data.

After digging the elastic when I check the indices using this command :

http://127.0.0.1:9200/_cat/indices

I found this : No handler found for uri [/_cat/indices] and method [GET]

But when I am using http://localhost:9200/_aliases, I can see my indexing. Why indexes is not coming when I run _cat/indices command?

Solution

  • _cat/indices is available in ES versions after 1.0.x.
