How to create a report about each index and the sourcetypes it contains?

I need to create a report that shows each index on my system and the relevant data about sourcetypes within the index. I know I can use |metadata type=sourcetypes index=myindex and get the information for a specific index, but I want to basically pull all of my indexes and run that command for each of the indexes I have.

Ok, so here you go. This uses the rest command, and the metadata command. It will increase in execution time as the number of indexes increases.

|rest /services/data/indexes count=0 | dedup title | fields title | map  [|metadata type=sourcetypes index="$title$" | eval type="$title$"] maxsearches=1000 | stats values(totalCount) by sourcetype type | rename type as index
