* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have `monitor` cluster
privileges on the cluster that contains the follower index. For more information,
see <<security-privileges>>.

[[ccr-get-follow-stats-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}

This API gets follower stats. This API will return shard-level stats about the
following tasks associated with each shard for the specified indices.

[[ccr-get-follow-stats-path-parms]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}

`<index>`::
  (Required, string) A comma-delimited list of index patterns.

[[ccr-get-follow-stats-response-body]]
==== {api-response-body-title}

//Begin indices
`indices`::
(array) An array of follower index statistics.
+
.Properties of `indices`
[%collapsible%open]
====
`fatal_exception`::
(object) An object representing a fatal exception that cancelled the following
task. In this situation, the following task must be resumed manually with the
<<ccr-post-resume-follow,resume follower API>>.

`index`::
(string) The name of the follower index.

//Begin shards
`shards`::
(array) An array of shard-level following task statistics.
+
.Properties of objects in `shards`
[%collapsible%open]
=====
`bytes_read`::
(long) The total of transferred bytes read from the leader.
+
--
NOTE: This is only an estimate and does not account for compression if enabled.

--

`failed_read_requests`::
(long) The number of failed reads.

`failed_write_requests`::
(long) The number of failed bulk write requests executed on the follower.

`follower_aliases_version`::
(long) The index aliases version the follower is synced up to.

`follower_global_checkpoint`::
(long) The current global checkpoint on the follower. The difference between the
`leader_global_checkpoint` and the `follower_global_checkpoint` is an
indication of how much the follower is lagging the leader.

`follower_index`::
(string) The name of the follower index.

`follower_mapping_version`::
(long) The mapping version the follower is synced up to.

`follower_max_seq_no`::
(long) The current maximum sequence number on the follower.

`follower_settings_version`::
(long) The index settings version the follower is synced up to.

`last_requested_seq_no`::
(long) The starting sequence number of the last batch of operations requested
from the leader.

`leader_global_checkpoint`::
(long) The current global checkpoint on the leader known to the follower task.

`leader_index`::
(string) The name of the index in the leader cluster being followed.

`leader_max_seq_no`::
(long) The current maximum sequence number on the leader known to the follower
task.

`operations_read`::
(long) The total number of operations read from the leader.

`operations_written`::
(long) The number of operations written on the follower.

`outstanding_read_requests`::
(integer) The number of active read requests from the follower.

`outstanding_write_requests`::
(integer) The number of active bulk write requests on the follower.

//Begin read_exceptions
`read_exceptions`::
(array) An array of objects representing failed reads.
+
.Properties of objects in `read_exceptions`
[%collapsible%open]
======
`exception`::
(object) Represents the exception that caused the read to fail.

`from_seq_no`::
(long) The starting sequence number of the batch requested from the leader.

`retries`::
(integer) The number of times the batch has been retried.
======
//End read_exceptions

`remote_cluster`::
(string) The <<modules-remote-clusters,remote cluster>> containing the leader
index.

`shard_id`::
(integer) The numerical shard ID, with values from 0 to one less than the
number of replicas.

`successful_read_requests`::
(long) The number of successful fetches.

`successful_write_requests`::
(long) The number of bulk write requests executed on the follower.

`time_since_last_read_millis`::
(long) The number of milliseconds since a read request was sent to the leader.
+
NOTE: When the follower is caught up to the leader, this number will increase up
to the configured `read_poll_timeout` at which point another read request will
be sent to the leader.

`total_read_remote_exec_time_millis`::
(long) The total time reads spent executing on the remote cluster.

`total_read_time_millis`::
(long) The total time reads were outstanding, measured from the time a read was
sent to the leader to the time a reply was returned to the follower.

`total_write_time_millis`::
(long) The total time spent writing on the follower.

`write_buffer_operation_count`::
(integer) The number of write operations queued on the follower.

`write_buffer_size_in_bytes`::
(long) The total number of bytes of operations currently queued for writing.
