How to find out the index created date in elastic search?
Elasticsearch now automatically includes the creation date for an index, for example:
If I create a new index (with no settings)
curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/aoeu'
{"acknowledged":true}
I can now 'get' the index to retrieve its metadata:
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/aoeu'
{
"aoeu": {
"aliases": {},
"mappings": {},
"settings": {
"index": {
"creation_date": "1429308615170",
"number_of_replicas": "1",
"number_of_shards": "5",
"uuid": "C5sqwXClSFyd5uF3MSrVgg",
"version": {
"created": "1050199"
}
}
},
"warmers": {}
}
}
You can see the creation_date
field above.
