Command type	Driver query
Required permission	None (table read permission required)
License usage	Not counted
Parallel execution	Not supported
Distributed execution	Not supported

Syntax

system indices [verbose={t|f}] [TABLE_PATTERN]

Options

verbose={t|f}: Also retrieves storage consumption (storage_consumption) information. (Default: f)

t: Include storage consumption in the results
f: Do not retrieve storage consumption

TABLE_PATTERN: Table pattern to query. You can specify multiple patterns separated by commas (,). If not specified, all tables for which you have read permission are queried.

Output fields

Field	Type	Description
table	string	Table name
index	string	Index name
use_bloom_filter	boolean	Whether bloom filter is enabled. `true`: enabled, `false`: disabled
base_path	string	Index storage path (absolute). Returned only for sessions with cluster administrator permission.
tokenizer_name	string	Name of the tokenizer used for index token extraction
tokenizer_configs	object	Tokenizer configuration values (e.g., query string)
min_index_day	string	Earliest date referenced by the index (`yyyy-MM-dd` format). Null if not configured.
max_index_day	string	Latest date referenced by the index (`yyyy-MM-dd` format). Null if not configured.
indexed_days	string	Date range for which index partitions actually exist (`yyyy-MM-dd ~ yyyy-MM-dd` format). `N/A` if none exist.
storage_consumption	long	Index storage size (bytes). Returned only when `verbose=t` is specified.
build_past_index	boolean	Whether past data is also indexed when creating the index

Description

The system indices command retrieves configuration information for indexes on each table. You can view the index name, bloom filter status, tokenizer settings, and indexed date range.

The base_path field is returned only for sessions with cluster administrator permission. The storage_consumption field is returned only when verbose=t is specified and represents the total size of all files in the index directory.

Table patterns support wildcards (*) at the beginning or end of the name.

Examples

Retrieve index metadata for all tables
```
system indices
```
Retrieves index metadata for all tables for which you have read permission.
Retrieve indexes for a specific table
```
system indices SONAR_EVENTS
```
Retrieves index metadata for the SONAR_EVENTS table.

Retrieve with storage consumption included

system indices verbose=t
| eval size_mb = round(storage_consumption / 1048576, 2)
| fields table, index, size_mb, indexed_days
| sort -size_mb

Converts index storage sizes to MB and retrieves them sorted from largest to smallest.

Retrieve indexes that use bloom filter

system indices
| search use_bloom_filter == true
| fields table, index, tokenizer_name, indexed_days

Filters and retrieves only indexes with bloom filter enabled.
