Index level stats like this can be fetched from the LukeRequestHandler in any recent version of SOlr... http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/luke?numTerms=0 In future releases (ie: already in trunk and branch 3x) there is also the SolrInfoMBeanRequestHandler which will replace registry.jsp and stats.jsp https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1750 -Hoss
