Exists an addon which display an overview of the catalog indexed metadata (uid, and so on) in the classic ui interface for managers. I know, a simple view does the job, but i need this in some sites. if such addon exists, i don't do this job

You can get this via the "ZMI":
--> "portal_catalog" --> "Catalot" --> "Set filter" --> "select the object you are interested in".
It is not very straight forward but if it is required only occasionally....
It uses CatalogTool.manage_objectInformation. Thus, if
you must implement it yourself, you can find there some ideas.
Yes, i know. But i need this informations in the Plone Classic UI not in the ZMI
you can get the object catalog RID, and do a portal_catalog.getMetadataForRID(RID).items() and cicle over them.
I'm guessing that there is not such an add-on because it is too close to functionality of Collections shipped out of the box in Plone. If you configure a collection with table display, all metadata columns available for catalog brains should be available to choose from in the collection's configuration.
If it's for debugging purposes GitHub - plone/plone.app.debugtoolbar: Debug toolbar for Plone could be a solution.
