Get remote cluster information

Get information about configured remote clusters. The API returns connection and endpoint information keyed by the configured remote cluster alias.

info This API returns information that reflects current state on the local cluster. The connected field does not necessarily reflect whether a remote cluster is down or unavailable, only whether there is currently an open connection to it. Elasticsearch does not spontaneously try to reconnect to a disconnected remote cluster. To trigger a reconnection, attempt a cross-cluster search, ES|QL cross-cluster search, or try the resolve cluster endpoint.
