REST API

REST API

The REST API is Elastic MDS's control-plane interface: it reads operational state and statistics from a running deployment and controls it. It is not a content-access interface - applications consume content through JMS, JDBC, and SQL. REST is for monitoring a deployment and for building tooling around it.

For most operators, the Dashboard is the recommended way to monitor a deployment. This reference is for those who want to query a deployment directly or integrate it with their own monitoring.

Audience: operators; developers building monitoring or tooling.
