## Parameters
### Path parameters
- **circuit_breaker_patterns** (string | array[string])
A comma-separated list of regular-expressions to filter the circuit breakers in the output
### Query parameters
- **h** (string | array[string])
A comma-separated list of columns names to display. It supports simple wildcards.
Supported values include:
- `node_id` (or `id`): Persistent node ID
- `node_name` (or `nn`): Node name
- `breaker` (or `br`): Breaker name
- `limit` (or `l`): Limit size
- `limit_bytes` (or `lb`): Limit size in bytes
- `estimated` (or `e`): Estimated size
- `estimated_bytes` (or `eb`): Estimated size in bytes
- `tripped` (or `t`): Tripped count
- `overhead` (or `o`): Overhead
- **s** (string | array[string])
List of columns that determine how the table should be sorted.
Sorting defaults to ascending and can be changed by setting `:asc`
or `:desc` as a suffix to the column name.
- **local** (boolean)
If `true`, the request computes the list of selected nodes from the
local cluster state. If `false` the list of selected nodes are computed
from the cluster state of the master node. In both cases the coordinating
node will send requests for further information to each selected node.
- **master_timeout** (string)
Period to wait for a connection to the master node.
