The _cluster/health
API can do far more than the typical output that most see with it:
$ curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty'
Most APIs within Elasticsearch can take a variety of arguments to augment their output. This applies to Cluster Health API as well.
$ curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_cluster/health?level=indices&pretty' | head -50

The API also has a variety of wait_*
options where it'll wait for various state changes before returning immediately or after some specified timeout
.
