Get index stats

The describe_index_stats operation returns statistics about the contents of an index, including the vector count per namespace and the number of dimensions, and the index fullness.

Serverless indexes scale automatically as needed, so index fullness is relevant only for pod-based indexes.

For pod-based indexes, the index fullness result may be inaccurate during pod resizing; to get the status of a pod resizing process, use describe_index.

Body

application/json

The request for the describe_index_stats operation.

filter

object

Response

200 - application/json

The response for the describe_index_stats operation.

namespaces

object

A mapping for each namespace in the index from the namespace name to a summary of its contents. If a metadata filter expression is present, the summary will reflect only vectors matching that expression.

dimension

integer

The dimension of the indexed vectors.

indexFullness

number

The fullness of the index, regardless of whether a metadata filter expression was passed. The granularity of this metric is 10%.
