--- title: Retrieving Cluster Information description: Cluster information is retrieved with GET /pools HTTP method and URI. pubDate: 2026-08-17T09:53:44.266Z antora: editUrl: https://github.com/couchbaselabs/docs-enterprise-analytics/edit/release/2.0/modules/reference/pages/rest-cluster-get.adoc xref: xref:2.0@enterprise-analytics:reference:rest-cluster-get.adoc[] --- [Consult the llms.txt file for a full list of contents](/llms.txt) [View original HTML](/enterprise-analytics/2.0/reference/rest-cluster-get.html) # Retrieving Cluster Information > Cluster information is retrieved with `GET /pools` HTTP method and URI. ## [](#syntax)Syntax Curl request syntax: curl -u [admin]:[password] http://[localhost]:8091/pools HTTP request syntax: GET /pools Host: localhost:8091 Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Accept: application/json X-memcachekv-Store-Client-Specification-Version: 0.1 A _pool_ represents computing resources (machines, memory, CPU, disks) that are used to host Couchbase buckets. Enterprise Analytics clusters currently support only a single pool named `default`. While the specified server is a member of one cluster, a server can also be aware of other pools. The Client-Specification-Version is optional in the request, but advised. It enables implementations to adjust representation and state transitions to the client, if backward compatibility is desirable. ## [](#http-method-and-uri)HTTP method and URI One of the first ways to discover the URI endpoints for the REST API is to find the available clusters. To find the available clusters, provide the Enterprise Analytics IP address, port number, and append `/pools`. GET /pools ## [](#example)Example To send a request for cluster information using curl: curl -u Administrator:password http://10.5.2.117:8091/pools ## [](#response)Response Enterprise Analytics returns only one cluster per group of systems and the cluster typically has a default name. Enterprise Analytics returns the build number for the server in `implementationVersion` and the specifications supported are in `componentsVersion`. The corresponding HTTP response contains a JSON document describing the cluster configuration. % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 1037 100 1037 0 0 64294 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 69133 { "componentsVersion": { "ale": "3.0.0-1209-rel-enterprise", "asn1": "2.0.4", "compiler": "4.9.4", "couch": "2.1.1r-432-gc2af28d", "couch_index_merger": "2.1.1r-432-gc2af28d", "couch_set_view": "2.1.1r-432-gc2af28d", "couch_view_parser": "1.0.0", "crypto": "3.2", "inets": "5.9.8", "kernel": "2.16.4", "lhttpc": "1.3.0", "mapreduce": "1.0.0", "mochiweb": "2.4.2", "ns_server": "3.0.0-1209-rel-enterprise", "oauth": "7d85d3ef", "os_mon": "2.2.14", "public_key": "0.21", "sasl": "2.3.4", "ssl": "5.3.3", "stdlib": "1.19.4", "syntax_tools": "1.6.13", "xmerl": "1.3.6" }, "implementationVersion": "3.0.0-1209-rel-enterprise", "isAdminCreds": true, "isEnterprise": true, "isROAdminCreds": false, "pools": [ { "name": "default", "streamingUri": "/poolsStreaming/default?uuid=995618a6a6cc9ac79731bd13240e19b5", "uri": "/pools/default?uuid=995618a6a6cc9ac79731bd13240e19b5" } ], "settings": { "maxParallelIndexers": "/settings/maxParallelIndexers?uuid=995618a6a6cc9ac79731bd13240e19b5", "viewUpdateDaemon": "/settings/viewUpdateDaemon?uuid=995618a6a6cc9ac79731bd13240e19b5" }, "uuid": "995618a6a6cc9ac79731bd13240e19b5" }
