# Get remote cluster information

**GET /_remote/info**

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.
