How to get health of an elasticsearch cluster using python API?

Question

I want to get the health of an elasticsearch cluster similar to the command

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true'

but using python. I did the following

from elasticsearch.client import ClusterClient
esc = ClusterClient([{'host': 'localhost', 'port': 9200}])
esc.health();

but all I get is an

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'transport'

I played around with some parameters for health() such us index and level but I mess around the syntax. Has someone a working example?

Regards, Tobi

You can't use the Cluster API directly, try this:

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
es = Elasticsearch()
print(es.cluster.health())

Sorry, was my first post.

Found an entry in the documentation: The instance has attributes cat, cluster, indices, nodes and snapshot that provide access to instances of CatClient, ClusterClient, IndicesClient, NodesClient and SnapshotClient respectively. This is the preferred (and only supported) way to get access to those classes and their methods.

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
es = Elasticsearch([{'host': 'localhost', 'port': 9200}])
print(es.cat.health())
