Get Records API

edit

The Get Records API retrieves one or more record results. It accepts a GetRecordsRequest object and responds with a GetRecordsResponse object.

Get Records Request

edit

A GetRecordsRequest object gets created with an existing non-null jobId.

GetRecordsRequest request = new GetRecordsRequest(jobId); 

Constructing a new request referencing an existing jobId

Optional Arguments

edit

The following arguments are optional:

request.setDescending(true); 

If true, the records are sorted in descending order. Defaults to false.

request.setEnd("2018-08-21T00:00:00Z"); 

Records with timestamps earlier than this time will be returned.

request.setExcludeInterim(true); 

If true, interim results will be excluded. Defaults to false.

request.setPageParams(new PageParams(100, 200)); 

The page parameters from and size. from specifies the number of records to skip. size specifies the maximum number of records to get. Defaults to 0 and 100 respectively.

request.setRecordScore(75.0); 

Records with record_score greater or equal than this value will be returned.

request.setSort("probability"); 

The field to sort records on. Defaults to record_score.

request.setStart("2018-08-01T00:00:00Z"); 

Records with timestamps on or after this time will be returned.

Synchronous Execution

edit

When executing a GetRecordsRequest in the following manner, the client waits for the GetRecordsResponse to be returned before continuing with code execution:

GetRecordsResponse response = client.machineLearning().getRecords(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);

Asynchronous Execution

edit

Executing a GetRecordsRequest can also be done in an asynchronous fashion so that the client can return directly. Users need to specify how the response or potential failures will be handled by passing the request and a listener to the asynchronous get-records method:

client.machineLearning().getRecordsAsync(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT, listener); 

The GetRecordsRequest to execute and the ActionListener to use when the execution completes

The asynchronous method does not block and returns immediately. Once it is completed the ActionListener is called back using the onResponse method if the execution successfully completed or using the onFailure method if it failed.

A typical listener for get-records looks like:

ActionListener<GetRecordsResponse> listener =
        new ActionListener<GetRecordsResponse>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(GetRecordsResponse getRecordsResponse) {
                
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Exception e) {
                
            }
        };

Called when the execution is successfully completed.

Called when the whole GetRecordsRequest fails.

Get Records Response

edit

The returned GetRecordsResponse contains the requested records:

long count = response.count(); 
List<AnomalyRecord> records = response.records(); 

The count of records that were matched

The records retrieved
