lastUpdateStringWhen the last update was made to the database in the RFC 3339 format
indexesObjectObject containing the statistics for each index found in the database
numberOfDocumentsIntegerTotal number of documents in an index
numberOfEmbeddedDocumentsIntegerTotal number of documents with at least one embedding
numberOfEmbeddingsIntegerTotal number of embeddings in an index
rawDocumentDbSizeIntegerStorage space claimed by all documents in the index in bytes
avgDocumentDbSizeIntegerTotal size of the documents stored in an index divided by the number of documents in that same index
isIndexingBooleanIf true, the index is still processing documents and attempts to search will result in undefined behavior
fieldDistributionObjectShows every field in the index along with the total number of documents containing that field in said index
