I am attempting to capture a list of all the indexes and their sizes in a way that I could capture the information using Angular's $http service and then iterate through the information using the ng-repeat preferably with something like:
<ul ng-repeat="elsindex in elsIndexHttpResponse">
<li>{{elsindex.name}}:{{elsindex.size}}</li>
</ul>
The closest thing I have found is this: http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?h=index,store.size
Except:
a. its responses are not in json so easily referencing it using the ng-repeat <li> elements isn't going to work; and
b. i would like, if possible, to get the size output to reflect the same unit size (like bytes).
If this involves something complicated then I'd be grateful for pointers on where I should focus.
I am using elasticsearch v1.4.4
Many thanks
Index size in bytes is included with an indices stats API call:
curl http://localhost:9200/_stats/indexing,store
For nicely formatted JSON output, append ?pretty to the end of the URL:
curl http://localhost:9200/_stats/indexing,store?pretty
See the Indices stats API documentation for additional details and related information.
