For index updates and queries, you *can* access it by the /solr/mycollection name. Although there may be no core by that name, the base URL will work. Just now, I also tried /solr/mycollection/admin/system, which I expected would NOT work because I have the collection_shardN_replicaN core names. On my 4.2.1 production cloud, this DOES work. Your email had given me the idea of filing a feature request to allow this shortcut, but it appears that it's already a feature. In situations where maxShardsPerNode is used, you wouldn't be able to use that shortcut to get all the info, but you could get most of it. I can think of a workaround for the maxShardsPerNode limitation: If you access /solr/admin/cores on a machine before asking for further info, your program will know what cores exist on that machine, so you'd be able to get ALL info. Thanks, Shawn
