The Basic Information page of an Elasticsearch cluster shows the details you need to connect to and manage the cluster: endpoints, ports, version, network configuration, and billing status.
View cluster information
-
Log on to the Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch console.
-
In the left-side navigation pane, click Elasticsearch Clusters.
-
In the top navigation bar, select the resource group and region where the cluster resides.

The following tables describe significant parameters only. The actual information displayed in the console prevails.
Basic information
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Cluster ID | The unique ID of the cluster. |
| Name | The cluster name. By default, the name matches the cluster ID. Names are configurable and searchable. |
| Version | The Elasticsearch version: 5.5, 5.6, 6.3, 6.7, 6.8, 7.7, 7.10, 7.16, 8.5, 8.9, 8.13, or 8.15. To upgrade, see Upgrade the version of a cluster. |
| Cluster Type | The edition: Vector Enhanced Edition, Kernel-enhanced Edition, or Standard Edition. |
| Region | The region where the cluster resides. |
| Zone | The zone where the cluster resides. |
| VPC | The ID of the virtual private cloud (VPC) to which the cluster belongs. |
| vSwitch ID | The ID of the vSwitch to which the cluster belongs. |
| Internal endpoint | The internal endpoint of the cluster. Connect to this endpoint from an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance in the same VPC. |
| Internal port | The port for internal connections. Port 9200 supports HTTP and HTTPS. Port 9300 supports TCP but is available only for V5.X clusters — Transport Client cannot connect to V6.0 or later clusters over port 9300. For connection details, see Access and configure an Elasticsearch cluster. |
| Public endpoint | The public endpoint for Internet access. To use this endpoint, turn on Public Network Access on the Security page and configure a public IP address whitelist. By default, all IP addresses are blocked. For setup instructions, see Configure a public or private IP address whitelist for an Elasticsearch cluster. |
| Public port | The port for public connections. Displayed only after Public Network Access is enabled. Port 9200 supports HTTP and HTTPS. Port 9300 supports TCP for V5.X clusters only. |
| Protocol | The protocol used by the cluster. Default: HTTP. To switch to HTTPS, see Enable HTTPS. |
| Resource group name | The name of the resource group to which the cluster belongs. See Create a resource group. |
| Resource group ID | The ID of the resource group to which the cluster belongs. |
| Tag | The tags applied to the cluster. Use tags to classify and manage clusters. See Manage cluster tags. |
Access clusters over the internal endpoint whenever possible. If you must use the public endpoint, restrict access using an IP address whitelist.
Cluster statistics
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | The cluster status: Normal (green), Initializing (yellow), Paused (red), or Expired (gray). |
| Billing method | The billing method: Pay-as-you-go or Subscription. |
| Created at | The time when the cluster was created. |
