Please tell me how can I determine the version number of currently running solr ?
8 Answers
On the Solr Admin page click on [INFO]. The next screen will have the version.
(For me, the Solr admin page is located here: http://{host-name-or-ip}:{port}/solr/admin, I found I was dealing with an older version. Solr Specification Version: 1.4.0 Solr Implementation Version: 1.4.0 833479)

10Is there a way to get this if you do not have Admin access to the index? As in if hosted by a 3rd party provider? – Oskar Austegard Jan 07 '13 at 21:00
With a HTTP GET request to:
yoursolrhost:8983/solr/admin/info/system
you'll retrieve a structure in many different representations (xml, json, php, python,...).
the lucene
key of the structure contains version numbers.
For example, using json output:
http://yoursolrhost:8983/solr/admin/info/system?wt=json
The lucene
key looks like this:
"lucene": {
"solr-spec-version": "4.6.0",
"solr-impl-version": "4.6.0 1543363 - simon - 2013-11-19 11:16:33",
"lucene-spec-version": "4.6.0",
"lucene-impl-version": "4.6.0 1543363 - simon - 2013-11-19 11:05:50"
},

1@KingOfHypocrites It isnt visible for me either, neither is it showing up on the UI.. how did you check the solr version? – DarthSpeedious Aug 27 '15 at 10:00

solr admin "infos" button links to "admin/registry.jsp"
so you can get the version with :
wget -O- "http://solr_ip_adress.lan:8080/solr/admin/registry.jsp" | grep 'solr-spec-version'

You could use http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/info/system?wt=json
to gather the details and Solr version too.
Tested on Solr v6.6.0

You can simply go to your Solr Dashboard page as in URL

You need to query Solr using the SystemInfoHandler:

2@Brad: I wish I could.. this answer is about 2 years old and I don't even remember answering :) – Mar 01 '12 at 18:06
Assumption, you use version 3.6, port 8080. Go to http://localhost:8080/solr/default/admin/registry.jsp
You will see result:
Solr Implementation Version: 3.6.0 1310449 - rmuir - 2012-04-06 11:34:07

From the command line of a Linux server running solr:
sudo service solr status
Depending on your version of Linux, I imagine you might have to modify that to use systemctl
instead of service
, or other means of calling the solr service.

Since I return to this SO result each time I have to look up how to do this again, I figure this answer is needed. – GG2 Dec 31 '21 at 03:54
