HTTP Status

Reports about the performance and configuration of the Riak node to which it was requested. You must have the {riak_kv_stat,true} configuration setting in app.config for this endpoint to be active.

Performance

Repeated requests to the /stats endpoint do not have a negative performance impact as the statistics are cached internally in Riak.

Request

GET /stats

Important headers:

  • Accept - determines whether the response will be formatted in application/json or text/plain.

Response

Normal status codes: * 200 OK

Typical error codes: * 404 Not Found - if riak_kv_stat is not enabled

Important headers: * Content-Type - application/json or text/plain (JSON with added line-breaks)

Example

$ curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8098/stats -H "Accept: text/plain"
