API Reference

edit

bulk

edit

Bulk index or delete documents. Performs multiple indexing or delete operations in a single API call. This reduces overhead and can greatly increase indexing speed.

Endpoint documentation

client.bulk({ ... })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • index (Optional, string): Name of the data stream, index, or index alias to perform bulk actions on.
    • operations (Optional, { index, create, update, delete } | { detect_noop, doc, doc_as_upsert, script, scripted_upsert, _source, upsert } | object[])
    • pipeline (Optional, string): ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents. If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, then setting the value to _none disables the default ingest pipeline for this request. If a final pipeline is configured it will always run, regardless of the value of this parameter.
    • refresh (Optional, Enum(true | false | "wait_for")): If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search, if wait_for then wait for a refresh to make this operation visible to search, if false do nothing with refreshes. Valid values: true, false, wait_for.
    • routing (Optional, string): Custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
    • _source (Optional, boolean | string | string[]): true or false to return the _source field or not, or a list of fields to return.
    • _source_excludes (Optional, string | string[]): A list of source fields to exclude from the response.
    • _source_includes (Optional, string | string[]): A list of source fields to include in the response.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Period each action waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards.
    • wait_for_active_shards (Optional, number | Enum("all" | "index-setting")): The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation. Set to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
    • require_alias (Optional, boolean): If true, the request’s actions must target an index alias.

clear_scroll

edit

Clear a scrolling search.

Clear the search context and results for a scrolling search.

Endpoint documentation

client.clearScroll({ ... })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • scroll_id (Optional, string | string[]): List of scroll IDs to clear. To clear all scroll IDs, use _all.

close_point_in_time

edit

Close a point in time.

A point in time must be opened explicitly before being used in search requests. The keep_alive parameter tells Elasticsearch how long it should persist. A point in time is automatically closed when the keep_alive period has elapsed. However, keeping points in time has a cost; close them as soon as they are no longer required for search requests.

Endpoint documentation

client.closePointInTime({ id })

knn_search

edit

Run a knn search.

The kNN search API has been replaced by the knn option in the search API.

Perform a k-nearest neighbor (kNN) search on a dense_vector field and return the matching documents. Given a query vector, the API finds the k closest vectors and returns those documents as search hits.

Elasticsearch uses the HNSW algorithm to support efficient kNN search. Like most kNN algorithms, HNSW is an approximate method that sacrifices result accuracy for improved search speed. This means the results returned are not always the true k closest neighbors.

The kNN search API supports restricting the search using a filter. The search will return the top k documents that also match the filter query.

Endpoint documentation

client.knnSearch({ index, knn })

mget

edit

Get multiple documents.

Get multiple JSON documents by ID from one or more indices. If you specify an index in the request URI, you only need to specify the document IDs in the request body. To ensure fast responses, this multi get (mget) API responds with partial results if one or more shards fail.

    • _source_includes (Optional, string | string[]): A list of source fields to include in the response. If this parameter is specified, only these source fields are returned. You can exclude fields from this subset using the _source_excludes query parameter. If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
    • stored_fields (Optional, string | string[]): If true, retrieves the document fields stored in the index rather than the document _source.

msearch

edit

Run multiple searches.

The format of the request is similar to the bulk API format and makes use of the newline delimited JSON (NDJSON) format. The structure is as follows:

header\n
body\n
header\n
body\n

This structure is specifically optimized to reduce parsing if a specific search ends up redirected to another node.

The final line of data must end with a newline character \n. Each newline character may be preceded by a carriage return \r. When sending requests to this endpoint the Content-Type header should be set to application/x-ndjson.

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • index (Optional, string | string[]): List of data streams, indices, and index aliases to search.

    • allow_no_indices (Optional, boolean): If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
    • ccs_minimize_roundtrips (Optional, boolean): If true, network roundtrips between the coordinating node and remote clusters are minimized for cross-cluster search requests.
    • expand_wildcards (Optional, Enum("all" | "open" | "closed" | "hidden" | "none") | Enum("all" | "open" | "closed" | "hidden" | "none")[]): Type of index that wildcard expressions can match.

open_point_in_time

edit

Open a point in time.

A search request by default runs against the most recent visible data of the target indices, which is called point in time. Elasticsearch pit (point in time) is a lightweight view into the state of the data as it existed when initiated. In some cases, it’s preferred to perform multiple search requests using the same point in time. For example, if refreshes happen between search_after requests, then the results of those requests might not be consistent as changes happening between searches are only visible to the more recent point in time.

A point in time must be opened explicitly before being used in search requests. The keep_alive parameter tells Elasticsearch how long it should persist.

scroll

edit

Run a scrolling search.

The scroll API is no longer recommend for deep pagination. If you need to preserve the index state while paging through more than 10,000 hits, use the search_after parameter with a point in time (PIT).

The scroll API gets large sets of results from a single scrolling search request. To get the necessary scroll ID, submit a search API request that includes an argument for the scroll query parameter. The scroll parameter indicates how long Elasticsearch should retain the search context for the request. The search response returns a scroll ID in the _scroll_id response body parameter. You can then use the scroll ID with the scroll API to retrieve the next batch of results for the request. If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, the access to the results of a specific scroll ID is restricted to the user or API key that submitted the search.

You can also use the scroll API to specify a new scroll parameter that extends or shortens the retention period for the search context.

Results from a scrolling search reflect the state of the index at the time of the initial search request. Subsequent indexing or document changes only affect later search and scroll requests.

Endpoint documentation

client.scroll({ scroll_id })

Arguments

  • Request (object):

    • scroll_id (string): Scroll ID of the search.
    • scroll (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Period to retain the search context for scrolling.

The search hits are filtered after the aggregations are calculated. A post filter has no impact on the aggregation results.
    • profile (Optional, boolean): Set to true to return detailed timing information about the execution of individual components in a search request. NOTE: This is a debugging tool and adds significant overhead to search execution.
    • query (Optional, { bool, boosting, common, combined_fields, constant_score, dis_max, distance_feature, exists, function_score, fuzzy, geo_bounding_box, geo_distance, geo_polygon, geo_shape, has_child, has_parent, ids, intervals, knn, match, match_all, match_bool_prefix, match_none, match_phrase, match_phrase_prefix, more_like_this, multi_match, nested, parent_id, percolate, pinned, prefix, query_string, range, rank_feature, regexp, rule, script, script_score, semantic, shape, simple_query_string, span_containing, span_field_masking, span_first, span_multi, span_near, span_not, span_or, span_term, span_within, sparse_vector, term, terms, terms_set, text_expansion, weighted_tokens, wildcard, wrapper, type }): Defines the search definition using the Query DSL.

    • search_after (Optional, number | number | string | boolean | null | User-defined value[]): Used to retrieve the next page of hits using a set of sort values from the previous page.
    • size (Optional, number): The number of hits to return. By default, you cannot page through more than 10,000 hits using the from and size parameters. To page through more hits, use the search_after parameter.

    • suggest (Optional, { text }): Defines a suggester that provides similar looking terms based on a provided text.
    • terminate_after (Optional, number): Maximum number of documents to collect for each shard. If a query reaches this limit, Elasticsearch terminates the query early. Elasticsearch collects documents before sorting. Use with caution. Elasticsearch applies this parameter to each shard handling the request. When possible, let Elasticsearch perform early termination automatically. Avoid specifying this parameter for requests that target data streams with backing indices across multiple data tiers. If set to 0 (default), the query does not terminate early.
    • timeout (Optional, string): Specifies the period of time to wait for a response from each shard. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to no timeout.
    • track_scores (Optional, boolean): If true, calculate and return document scores, even if the scores are not used for sorting.
    • version (Optional, boolean): If true, returns document version as part of a hit.
    • seq_no_primary_term (Optional, boolean): If true, returns sequence number and primary term of the last modification of each hit.
    • stored_fields (Optional, string | string[]): List of stored fields to return as part of a hit. If no fields are specified, no stored fields are included in the response. If this field is specified, the _source parameter defaults to false. You can pass _source: true to return both source fields and stored fields in the search response.
    • pit (Optional, { id, keep_alive }): Limits the search to a point in time (PIT). If you provide a PIT, you cannot specify an <index> in the request path.
    • runtime_mappings (Optional, Record<string, { fields, fetch_fields, format, input_field, target_field, target_index, script, type }>): Defines one or more runtime fields in the search request. These fields take precedence over mapped fields with the same name.
    • stats (Optional, string[]): Stats groups to associate with the search. Each group maintains a statistics aggregation for its associated searches. You can retrieve these stats using the indices stats API.
    • allow_no_indices (Optional, boolean): If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
    • allow_partial_search_results (Optional, boolean): If true, returns partial results if there are shard request timeouts or shard failures. If false, returns an error with no partial results.
    • analyzer (Optional, string): Analyzer to use for the query string. This parameter can only be used when the q query string parameter is specified.

    • expand_wildcards (Optional, Enum("all" | "open" | "closed" | "hidden" | "none") | Enum("all" | "open" | "closed" | "hidden" | "none")[]): Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports a list of values, such as open,hidden.
    • ignore_throttled (Optional, boolean): If true, concrete, expanded or aliased indices will be ignored when frozen.
    • ignore_unavailable (Optional, boolean): If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index.
    • include_named_queries_score (Optional, boolean): Indicates whether hit.matched_queries should be rendered as a map that includes the name of the matched query associated with its score (true) or as an array containing the name of the matched queries (false) This functionality reruns each named query on every hit in a search response. Typically, this adds a small overhead to a request. However, using computationally expensive named queries on a large number of hits may add significant overhead.
    • lenient (Optional, boolean): If true, format-based query failures (such as providing text to a numeric field) in the query string will be ignored. This parameter can only be used when the q query string parameter is specified.
    • max_concurrent_shard_requests (Optional, number): Defines the number of concurrent shard requests per node this search executes concurrently. This value should be used to limit the impact of the search on the cluster in order to limit the number of concurrent shard requests.
    • min_compatible_shard_node (Optional, string): The minimum version of the node that can handle the request Any handling node with a lower version will fail the request.
    • preference (Optional, string): Nodes and shards used for the search. By default, Elasticsearch selects from eligible nodes and shards using adaptive replica selection, accounting for allocation awareness. Valid values are: _only_local to run the search only on shards on the local node; _local to, if possible, run the search on shards on the local node, or if not, select shards using the default method; _only_nodes:<node-id>,<node-id> to run the search on only the specified nodes IDs, where, if suitable shards exist on more than one selected node, use shards on those nodes using the default method, or if none of the specified nodes are available, select shards from any available node using the default method; _prefer_nodes:<node-id>,<node-id> to if possible, run the search on the specified nodes IDs, or if not, select shards using the default method; _shards:<shard>,<shard> to run the search only on the specified shards; <custom-string> (any string that does not start with _) to route searches with the same <custom-string> to the same shards in the same order.
    • pre_filter_shard_size (Optional, number): Defines a threshold that enforces a pre-filter roundtrip to prefilter search shards based on query rewriting if the number of shards the search request expands to exceeds the threshold. This filter roundtrip can limit the number of shards significantly if for instance a shard can not match any documents based on its rewrite method (if date filters are mandatory to match but the shard bounds and the query are disjoint). When unspecified, the pre-filter phase is executed if any of these conditions is met: the request targets more than 128 shards; the request targets one or more read-only index; the primary sort of the query targets an indexed field.
    • request_cache (Optional, boolean): If true, the caching of search results is enabled for requests where size is 0. Defaults to index level settings.
    • routing (Optional, string): Custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
    • scroll (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Period to retain the search context for scrolling. See Scroll search results. By default, this value cannot exceed 1d (24 hours). You can change this limit using the search.max_keep_alive cluster-level setting.

    • suggest_text (Optional, string): The source text for which the suggestions should be returned. This parameter can only be used when the suggest_field and suggest_text query string parameters are specified.
    • typed_keys (Optional, boolean): If true, aggregation and suggester names are be prefixed by their respective types in the response.
    • rest_total_hits_as_int (Optional, boolean): Indicates whether hits.total should be rendered as an integer or an object in the rest search response.
    • _source_excludes (Optional, string | string[]): A list of source fields to exclude from the response. You can also use this parameter to exclude fields from the subset specified in _source_includes query parameter. If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
    • _source_includes (Optional, string | string[]): A list of source fields to include in the response. If this parameter is specified, only these source fields are returned. You can exclude fields from this subset using the _source_excludes query parameter. If the _source parameter is false, this parameter is ignored.
    • q (Optional, string): Query in the Lucene query string syntax using query parameter search. Query parameter searches do not support the full Elasticsearch Query DSL but are handy for testing.
    • force_synthetic_source (Optional, boolean): Should this request force synthetic _source? Use this to test if the mapping supports synthetic _source and to get a sense of the worst case performance. Fetches with this enabled will be slower the enabling synthetic source natively in the index.

terms_enum

edit

Get terms in an index.

Discover terms that match a partial string in an index. This "terms enum" API is designed for low-latency look-ups used in auto-complete scenarios.

If the complete property in the response is false, the returned terms set may be incomplete and should be treated as approximate. This can occur due to a few reasons, such as a request timeout or a node error.

The terms enum API may return terms from deleted documents. Deleted documents are initially only marked as deleted. It is not until their segments are merged that documents are actually deleted. Until that happens, the terms enum API will return terms from these documents.

    • terminate_after (Optional, number): Maximum number of documents to collect for each shard. If a query reaches this limit, Elasticsearch terminates the query early. Elasticsearch collects documents before sorting. Use with caution. Elasticsearch applies this parameter to each shard handling the request. When possible, let Elasticsearch perform early termination automatically. Avoid specifying this parameter for requests that target data streams with backing indices across multiple data tiers.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Period each update request waits for the following operations: dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards.
    • version (Optional, boolean): If true, returns the document version as part of a hit.

update_by_query_rethrottle

edit

Throttle an update by query operation.

Change the number of requests per second for a particular update by query operation. Rethrottling that speeds up the query takes effect immediately but rethrotting that slows down the query takes effect after completing the current batch to prevent scroll timeouts.

Endpoint documentation

client.updateByQueryRethrottle({ task_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • task_id (string): The ID for the task.
    • requests_per_second (Optional, float): The throttle for this request in sub-requests per second.

async_search

edit

delete

edit

Delete an async search.

If the asynchronous search is still running, it is cancelled. Otherwise, the saved search results are deleted. If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, the deletion of a specific async search is restricted to: the authenticated user that submitted the original search request; users that have the cancel_task cluster privilege.

Endpoint documentation

client.asyncSearch.delete({ id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • id (string): A unique identifier for the async search.

get

edit

Get async search results.

Retrieve the results of a previously submitted asynchronous search request. If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, access to the results of a specific async search is restricted to the user or API key that submitted it.

Endpoint documentation

client.asyncSearch.get({ id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • id (string): A unique identifier for the async search.
    • keep_alive (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Specifies how long the async search should be available in the cluster. When not specified, the keep_alive set with the corresponding submit async request will be used. Otherwise, it is possible to override the value and extend the validity of the request. When this period expires, the search, if still running, is cancelled. If the search is completed, its saved results are deleted.
    • typed_keys (Optional, boolean): Specify whether aggregation and suggester names should be prefixed by their respective types in the response
    • wait_for_completion_timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Specifies to wait for the search to be completed up until the provided timeout. Final results will be returned if available before the timeout expires, otherwise the currently available results will be returned once the timeout expires. By default no timeout is set meaning that the currently available results will be returned without any additional wait.

status

edit

Get the async search status.

Get the status of a previously submitted async search request given its identifier, without retrieving search results. If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, use of this API is restricted to the monitoring_user role.

Endpoint documentation

client.asyncSearch.status({ id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • id (string): A unique identifier for the async search.
    • keep_alive (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Specifies how long the async search needs to be available. Ongoing async searches and any saved search results are deleted after this period.

submit

edit

Run an async search.

When the primary sort of the results is an indexed field, shards get sorted based on minimum and maximum value that they hold for that field. Partial results become available following the sort criteria that was requested.

Warning: Asynchronous search does not support scroll or search requests that include only the suggest section.

By default, Elasticsearch does not allow you to store an async search response larger than 10Mb and an attempt to do this results in an error. The maximum allowed size for a stored async search response can be set by changing the search.max_async_search_response_size cluster level setting.

get_autoscaling_capacity

edit

Get the autoscaling capacity.

This feature is designed for indirect use by Elasticsearch Service, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, and Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes. Direct use is not supported.

This API gets the current autoscaling capacity based on the configured autoscaling policy. It will return information to size the cluster appropriately to the current workload.

The required_capacity is calculated as the maximum of the required_capacity result of all individual deciders that are enabled for the policy.

The operator should verify that the current_nodes match the operator’s knowledge of the cluster to avoid making autoscaling decisions based on stale or incomplete information.

The response contains decider-specific information you can use to diagnose how and why autoscaling determined a certain capacity was required. This information is provided for diagnosis only. Do not use this information to make autoscaling decisions.

They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the cluster health API. This API is often used to check malfunctioning clusters. To help you track cluster health alongside log files and alerting systems, the API returns timestamps in two formats: HH:MM:SS, which is human-readable but includes no date information; Unix epoch time, which is machine-sortable and includes date information. The latter format is useful for cluster recoveries that take multiple days. You can use the cat health API to verify cluster health across multiple nodes. You also can use the API to track the recovery of a large cluster over a longer period of time.

put_component_template

edit

Create or update a component template. Creates or updates a component template. Component templates are building blocks for constructing index templates that specify index mappings, settings, and aliases.

An index template can be composed of multiple component templates. To use a component template, specify it in an index template’s composed_of list. Component templates are only applied to new data streams and indices as part of a matching index template.

Settings and mappings specified directly in the index template or the create index request override any settings or mappings specified in a component template.

Component templates are only used during index creation. For data streams, this includes data stream creation and the creation of a stream’s backing indices. Changes to component templates do not affect existing indices, including a stream’s backing indices.

You can use C-style /* *\/ block comments in component templates. You can include comments anywhere in the request body except before the opening curly bracket.

If you use Elastic Agent and want to overwrite one of these templates, set the version for your replacement template higher than the current version. If you don’t use Elastic Agent and want to disable all built-in component and index templates, set stack.templates.enabled to false using the cluster update settings API.
    • template ({ aliases, mappings, settings, defaults, data_stream, lifecycle }): The template to be applied which includes mappings, settings, or aliases configuration.

This information is stored in the cluster state, so keeping it short is preferable. To unset _meta, replace the template without specifying this information.
    • deprecated (Optional, boolean): Marks this index template as deprecated. When creating or updating a non-deprecated index template that uses deprecated components, Elasticsearch will emit a deprecation warning.
    • create (Optional, boolean): If true, this request cannot replace or update existing component templates.

dangling_indices

edit

delete_dangling_index

edit

Delete a dangling index.

If Elasticsearch encounters index data that is absent from the current cluster state, those indices are considered to be dangling. For example, this can happen if you delete more than cluster.indices.tombstones.size indices while an Elasticsearch node is offline.

Endpoint documentation

client.danglingIndices.deleteDanglingIndex({ index_uuid, accept_data_loss })

Arguments

edit

import_dangling_index

edit

Import a dangling index.

If Elasticsearch encounters index data that is absent from the current cluster state, those indices are considered to be dangling. For example, this can happen if you delete more than cluster.indices.tombstones.size indices while an Elasticsearch node is offline.

Endpoint documentation

client.danglingIndices.importDanglingIndex({ index_uuid, accept_data_loss })

However, similar to the fleet search API, it supports the wait_for_checkpoints parameter.

client.fleet.msearch({ ... })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • index (Optional, string | string): A single target to search. If the target is an index alias, it must resolve to a single index.

    • allow_no_indices (Optional, boolean): If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
    • ccs_minimize_roundtrips (Optional, boolean): If true, network roundtrips between the coordinating node and remote clusters are minimized for cross-cluster search requests.
    • expand_wildcards (Optional, Enum("all" | "open" | "closed" | "hidden" | "none") | Enum("all" | "open" | "closed" | "hidden" | "none")[]): Type of index that wildcard expressions can match.

    • max_concurrent_shard_requests (Optional, number): Maximum number of concurrent shard requests that each sub-search request executes per node.
    • pre_filter_shard_size (Optional, number): Defines a threshold that enforces a pre-filter roundtrip to prefilter search shards based on query rewriting if the number of shards the search request expands to exceeds the threshold. This filter roundtrip can limit the number of shards significantly if for instance a shard can not match any documents based on its rewrite method i.e., if date filters are mandatory to match but the shard bounds and the query are disjoint.
    • search_type (Optional, Enum("query_then_fetch" | "dfs_query_then_fetch")): Indicates whether global term and document frequencies should be used when scoring returned documents.
    • rest_total_hits_as_int (Optional, boolean): If true, hits.total are returned as an integer in the response. Defaults to false, which returns an object.
    • typed_keys (Optional, boolean): Specifies whether aggregation and suggester names should be prefixed by their respective types in the response.
    • wait_for_checkpoints (Optional, number[]): A comma separated list of checkpoints. When configured, the search API will only be executed on a shard after the relevant checkpoint has become visible for search. Defaults to an empty list which will cause Elasticsearch to immediately execute the search.
    • allow_partial_search_results (Optional, boolean): If true, returns partial results if there are shard request timeouts or [shard failures](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-replication.html#shard-failures). If false, returns an error with no partial results. Defaults to the configured cluster setting search.default_allow_partial_results which is true by default.

graph

edit

explore

edit

Explore graph analytics. Extract and summarize information about the documents and terms in an Elasticsearch data stream or index. The easiest way to understand the behavior of this API is to use the Graph UI to explore connections. An initial request to the _explore API contains a seed query that identifies the documents of interest and specifies the fields that define the vertices and connections you want to include in the graph. Subsequent requests enable you to spider out from one more vertices of interest. You can exclude vertices that have already been returned.

Endpoint documentation

client.graph.explore({ index })

Arguments

edit

close_job

edit

Close anomaly detection jobs. A job can be opened and closed multiple times throughout its lifecycle. A closed job cannot receive data or perform analysis operations, but you can still explore and navigate results. When you close a job, it runs housekeeping tasks such as pruning the model history, flushing buffers, calculating final results and persisting the model snapshots. Depending upon the size of the job, it could take several minutes to close and the equivalent time to re-open. After it is closed, the job has a minimal overhead on the cluster except for maintaining its meta data. Therefore it is a best practice to close jobs that are no longer required to process data. If you close an anomaly detection job whose datafeed is running, the request first tries to stop the datafeed. This behavior is equivalent to calling stop datafeed API with the same timeout and force parameters as the close job request. When a datafeed that has a specified end date stops, it automatically closes its associated job.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.closeJob({ job_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • allow_no_forecasts (Optional, boolean): Specifies whether an error occurs when there are no forecasts. In particular, if this parameter is set to false and there are no forecasts associated with the job, attempts to delete all forecasts return an error.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Specifies the period of time to wait for the completion of the delete operation. When this period of time elapses, the API fails and returns an error.

delete_job

edit

Delete an anomaly detection job. All job configuration, model state and results are deleted. It is not currently possible to delete multiple jobs using wildcards or a comma separated list.

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • id (Optional, string): Identifier for the data frame analytics job. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.
    • source (Optional, { index, query, runtime_mappings, _source }): The configuration of how to source the analysis data. It requires an index. Optionally, query and _source may be specified.
    • dest (Optional, { index, results_field }): The destination configuration, consisting of index and optionally results_field (ml by default).
    • analysis (Optional, { classification, outlier_detection, regression }): The analysis configuration, which contains the information necessary to perform one of the following types of analysis: classification, outlier detection, or regression.
    • description (Optional, string): A description of the job.
    • model_memory_limit (Optional, string): The approximate maximum amount of memory resources that are permitted for analytical processing. If your elasticsearch.yml file contains an xpack.ml.max_model_memory_limit setting, an error occurs when you try to create data frame analytics jobs that have model_memory_limit values greater than that setting.
    • max_num_threads (Optional, number): The maximum number of threads to be used by the analysis. Using more threads may decrease the time necessary to complete the analysis at the cost of using more CPU. Note that the process may use additional threads for operational functionality other than the analysis itself.
    • analyzed_fields (Optional, { includes, excludes }): Specify includes and/or excludes patterns to select which fields will be included in the analysis. The patterns specified in excludes are applied last, therefore excludes takes precedence. In other words, if the same field is specified in both includes and excludes, then the field will not be included in the analysis.
    • allow_lazy_start (Optional, boolean): Specifies whether this job can start when there is insufficient machine learning node capacity for it to be immediately assigned to a node.

flush_job

edit

Force buffered data to be processed. The flush jobs API is only applicable when sending data for analysis using the post data API. Depending on the content of the buffer, then it might additionally calculate new results. Both flush and close operations are similar, however the flush is more efficient if you are expecting to send more data for analysis. When flushing, the job remains open and is available to continue analyzing data. A close operation additionally prunes and persists the model state to disk and the job must be opened again before analyzing further data.

get_overall_buckets

edit

Get overall bucket results.

Retrievs overall bucket results that summarize the bucket results of multiple anomaly detection jobs.

The overall_score is calculated by combining the scores of all the buckets within the overall bucket span. First, the maximum anomaly_score per anomaly detection job in the overall bucket is calculated. Then the top_n of those scores are averaged to result in the overall_score. This means that you can fine-tune the overall_score so that it is more or less sensitive to the number of jobs that detect an anomaly at the same time. For example, if you set top_n to 1, the overall_score is the maximum bucket score in the overall bucket. Alternatively, if you set top_n to the number of jobs, the overall_score is high only when all jobs detect anomalies in that overall bucket. If you set the bucket_span parameter (to a value greater than its default), the overall_score is the maximum overall_score of the overall buckets that have a span equal to the jobs' largest bucket span.

get_records

edit

The machine learning features therefore perform a sophisticated aggregation of the anomaly records into buckets. The number of record results depends on the number of anomalies found in each bucket, which relates to the number of time series being modeled and the number of detectors.

    • datafeed_config (Optional, { aggregations, chunking_config, datafeed_id, delayed_data_check_config, frequency, indices, indices_options, job_id, max_empty_searches, query, query_delay, runtime_mappings, script_fields, scroll_size }): The datafeed definition to preview.
    • job_config (Optional, { allow_lazy_open, analysis_config, analysis_limits, background_persist_interval, custom_settings, daily_model_snapshot_retention_after_days, data_description, datafeed_config, description, groups, job_id, job_type, model_plot_config, model_snapshot_retention_days, renormalization_window_days, results_index_name, results_retention_days }): The configuration details for the anomaly detection job that is associated with the datafeed. If the datafeed_config object does not include a job_id that references an existing anomaly detection job, you must supply this job_config object. If you include both a job_id and a job_config, the latter information is used. You cannot specify a job_config object unless you also supply a datafeed_config object.
    • start (Optional, string | Unit): The start time from where the datafeed preview should begin
    • end (Optional, string | Unit): The end time when the datafeed preview should stop

put_calendar

edit

Create a calendar.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.putCalendar({ calendar_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • calendar_id (string): A string that uniquely identifies a calendar.
    • job_ids (Optional, string[]): An array of anomaly detection job identifiers.
    • description (Optional, string): A description of the calendar.

put_calendar_job

edit

Add anomaly detection job to calendar.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.putCalendarJob({ calendar_id, job_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • calendar_id (string): A string that uniquely identifies a calendar.
    • job_id (string | string[]): An identifier for the anomaly detection jobs. It can be a job identifier, a group name, or a list of jobs or groups.

put_data_frame_analytics

edit

Create a data frame analytics job. This API creates a data frame analytics job that performs an analysis on the source indices and stores the outcome in a destination index.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.putDataFrameAnalytics({ id, analysis, dest, source })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • id (string): Identifier for the data frame analytics job. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.
    • analysis ({ classification, outlier_detection, regression }): The analysis configuration, which contains the information necessary to perform one of the following types of analysis: classification, outlier detection, or regression.
    • dest ({ index, results_field }): The destination configuration.
    • source ({ index, query, runtime_mappings, _source }): The configuration of how to source the analysis data.
    • allow_lazy_start (Optional, boolean): Specifies whether this job can start when there is insufficient machine learning node capacity for it to be immediately assigned to a node. If set to false and a machine learning node with capacity to run the job cannot be immediately found, the API returns an error. If set to true, the API does not return an error; the job waits in the starting state until sufficient machine learning node capacity is available. This behavior is also affected by the cluster-wide xpack.ml.max_lazy_ml_nodes setting.
    • analyzed_fields (Optional, { includes, excludes }): Specifies includes and/or excludes patterns to select which fields will be included in the analysis. The patterns specified in excludes are applied last, therefore excludes takes precedence. In other words, if the same field is specified in both includes and excludes, then the field will not be included in the analysis. If analyzed_fields is not set, only the relevant fields will be included. For example, all the numeric fields for outlier detection. The supported fields vary for each type of analysis. Outlier detection requires numeric or boolean data to analyze. The algorithms don’t support missing values therefore fields that have data types other than numeric or boolean are ignored. Documents where included fields contain missing values, null values, or an array are also ignored. Therefore the dest index may contain documents that don’t have an outlier score. Regression supports fields that are numeric, boolean, text, keyword, and ip data types. It is also tolerant of missing values. Fields that are supported are included in the analysis, other fields are ignored. Documents where included fields contain an array with two or more values are also ignored. Documents in the dest index that don’t contain a results field are not included in the regression analysis. Classification supports fields that are numeric, boolean, text, keyword, and ip data types. It is also tolerant of missing values. Fields that are supported are included in the analysis, other fields are ignored. Documents where included fields contain an array with two or more values are also ignored. Documents in the dest index that don’t contain a results field are not included in the classification analysis. Classification analysis can be improved by mapping ordinal variable values to a single number. For example, in case of age ranges, you can model the values as 0-14 = 0, 15-24 = 1, 25-34 = 2, and so on.
    • description (Optional, string): A description of the job.
    • max_num_threads (Optional, number): The maximum number of threads to be used by the analysis. Using more threads may decrease the time necessary to complete the analysis at the cost of using more CPU. Note that the process may use additional threads for operational functionality other than the analysis itself.
    • model_memory_limit (Optional, string): The approximate maximum amount of memory resources that are permitted for analytical processing. If your elasticsearch.yml file contains an xpack.ml.max_model_memory_limit setting, an error occurs when you try to create data frame analytics jobs that have model_memory_limit values greater than that setting.
    • headers (Optional, Record<string, string | string[]>)
    • version (Optional, string)

put_datafeed

edit

Create a datafeed. Datafeeds retrieve data from Elasticsearch for analysis by an anomaly detection job. You can associate only one datafeed with each anomaly detection job. The datafeed contains a query that runs at a defined interval (frequency). If you are concerned about delayed data, you can add a delay (query_delay') at each interval. When Elasticsearch security features are enabled, your datafeed remembers which roles the user who created it had at the time of creation and runs the query using those same roles. If you provide secondary authorization headers, those credentials are used instead. You must use Kibana, this API, or the create anomaly detection jobs API to create a datafeed. Do not add a datafeed directly to the `.ml-config index. Do not give users write privileges on the .ml-config index.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.putDatafeed({ datafeed_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • datafeed_id (string): A numerical character string that uniquely identifies the datafeed. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.
    • aggregations (Optional, Record<string, { aggregations, meta, adjacency_matrix, auto_date_histogram, avg, avg_bucket, boxplot, bucket_script, bucket_selector, bucket_sort, bucket_count_ks_test, bucket_correlation, cardinality, categorize_text, children, composite, cumulative_cardinality, cumulative_sum, date_histogram, date_range, derivative, diversified_sampler, extended_stats, extended_stats_bucket, frequent_item_sets, filter, filters, geo_bounds, geo_centroid, geo_distance, geohash_grid, geo_line, geotile_grid, geohex_grid, global, histogram, ip_range, ip_prefix, inference, line, matrix_stats, max, max_bucket, median_absolute_deviation, min, min_bucket, missing, moving_avg, moving_percentiles, moving_fn, multi_terms, nested, normalize, parent, percentile_ranks, percentiles, percentiles_bucket, range, rare_terms, rate, reverse_nested, random_sampler, sampler, scripted_metric, serial_diff, significant_terms, significant_text, stats, stats_bucket, string_stats, sum, sum_bucket, terms, time_series, top_hits, t_test, top_metrics, value_count, weighted_avg, variable_width_histogram }>): If set, the datafeed performs aggregation searches. Support for aggregations is limited and should be used only with low cardinality data.
    • chunking_config (Optional, { mode, time_span }): Datafeeds might be required to search over long time periods, for several months or years. This search is split into time chunks in order to ensure the load on Elasticsearch is managed. Chunking configuration controls how the size of these time chunks are calculated; it is an advanced configuration option.
    • delayed_data_check_config (Optional, { check_window, enabled }): Specifies whether the datafeed checks for missing data and the size of the window. The datafeed can optionally search over indices that have already been read in an effort to determine whether any data has subsequently been added to the index. If missing data is found, it is a good indication that the query_delay is set too low and the data is being indexed after the datafeed has passed that moment in time. This check runs only on real-time datafeeds.
    • frequency (Optional, string | -1 | 0): The interval at which scheduled queries are made while the datafeed runs in real time. The default value is either the bucket span for short bucket spans, or, for longer bucket spans, a sensible fraction of the bucket span. When frequency is shorter than the bucket span, interim results for the last (partial) bucket are written then eventually overwritten by the full bucket results. If the datafeed uses aggregations, this value must be divisible by the interval of the date histogram aggregation.
    • indices (Optional, string | string[]): An array of index names. Wildcards are supported. If any of the indices are in remote clusters, the machine learning nodes must have the remote_cluster_client role.
    • indices_options (Optional, { allow_no_indices, expand_wildcards, ignore_unavailable, ignore_throttled }): Specifies index expansion options that are used during search
    • job_id (Optional, string): Identifier for the anomaly detection job.
    • max_empty_searches (Optional, number): If a real-time datafeed has never seen any data (including during any initial training period), it automatically stops and closes the associated job after this many real-time searches return no documents. In other words, it stops after frequency times max_empty_searches of real-time operation. If not set, a datafeed with no end time that sees no data remains started until it is explicitly stopped. By default, it is not set.
    • query (Optional, { bool, boosting, common, combined_fields, constant_score, dis_max, distance_feature, exists, function_score, fuzzy, geo_bounding_box, geo_distance, geo_polygon, geo_shape, has_child, has_parent, ids, intervals, knn, match, match_all, match_bool_prefix, match_none, match_phrase, match_phrase_prefix, more_like_this, multi_match, nested, parent_id, percolate, pinned, prefix, query_string, range, rank_feature, regexp, rule, script, script_score, semantic, shape, simple_query_string, span_containing, span_field_masking, span_first, span_multi, span_near, span_not, span_or, span_term, span_within, sparse_vector, term, terms, terms_set, text_expansion, weighted_tokens, wildcard, wrapper, type }): The Elasticsearch query domain-specific language (DSL). This value corresponds to the query object in an Elasticsearch search POST body. All the options that are supported by Elasticsearch can be used, as this object is passed verbatim to Elasticsearch.
    • query_delay (Optional, string | -1 | 0): The number of seconds behind real time that data is queried. For example, if data from 10:04 a.m. might not be searchable in Elasticsearch until 10:06 a.m., set this property to 120 seconds. The default value is randomly selected between 60s and 120s. This randomness improves the query performance when there are multiple jobs running on the same node.
    • runtime_mappings (Optional, Record<string, { fields, fetch_fields, format, input_field, target_field, target_index, script, type }>): Specifies runtime fields for the datafeed search.
    • script_fields (Optional, Record<string, { script, ignore_failure }>): Specifies scripts that evaluate custom expressions and returns script fields to the datafeed. The detector configuration objects in a job can contain functions that use these script fields.
    • scroll_size (Optional, number): The size parameter that is used in Elasticsearch searches when the datafeed does not use aggregations. The maximum value is the value of index.max_result_window, which is 10,000 by default.
    • headers (Optional, Record<string, string | string[]>)
    • allow_no_indices (Optional, boolean): If true, wildcard indices expressions that resolve into no concrete indices are ignored. This includes the _all string or when no indices are specified.
    • expand_wildcards (Optional, Enum("all" | "open" | "closed" | "hidden" | "none") | Enum("all" | "open" | "closed" | "hidden" | "none")[]): Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports a list of values.
    • ignore_throttled (Optional, boolean): If true, concrete, expanded, or aliased indices are ignored when frozen.
    • ignore_unavailable (Optional, boolean): If true, unavailable indices (missing or closed) are ignored.

put_filter

edit

Create a filter. A filter contains a list of strings. It can be used by one or more anomaly detection jobs. Specifically, filters are referenced in the custom_rules property of detector configuration objects.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.putFilter({ filter_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • filter_id (string): A string that uniquely identifies a filter.
    • description (Optional, string): A description of the filter.
    • items (Optional, string[]): The items of the filter. A wildcard * can be used at the beginning or the end of an item. Up to 10000 items are allowed in each filter.

put_job

edit

Create an anomaly detection job. If you include a datafeed_config, you must have read index privileges on the source index.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.putJob({ job_id, analysis_config, data_description })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • job_id (string): The identifier for the anomaly detection job. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.
    • analysis_config ({ bucket_span, categorization_analyzer, categorization_field_name, categorization_filters, detectors, influencers, latency, model_prune_window, multivariate_by_fields, per_partition_categorization, summary_count_field_name }): Specifies how to analyze the data. After you create a job, you cannot change the analysis configuration; all the properties are informational.
    • data_description ({ format, time_field, time_format, field_delimiter }): Defines the format of the input data when you send data to the job by using the post data API. Note that when configure a datafeed, these properties are automatically set. When data is received via the post data API, it is not stored in Elasticsearch. Only the results for anomaly detection are retained.
    • allow_lazy_open (Optional, boolean): Advanced configuration option. Specifies whether this job can open when there is insufficient machine learning node capacity for it to be immediately assigned to a node. By default, if a machine learning node with capacity to run the job cannot immediately be found, the open anomaly detection jobs API returns an error. However, this is also subject to the cluster-wide xpack.ml.max_lazy_ml_nodes setting. If this option is set to true, the open anomaly detection jobs API does not return an error and the job waits in the opening state until sufficient machine learning node capacity is available.
    • analysis_limits (Optional, { categorization_examples_limit, model_memory_limit }): Limits can be applied for the resources required to hold the mathematical models in memory. These limits are approximate and can be set per job. They do not control the memory used by other processes, for example the Elasticsearch Java processes.
    • background_persist_interval (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Advanced configuration option. The time between each periodic persistence of the model. The default value is a randomized value between 3 to 4 hours, which avoids all jobs persisting at exactly the same time. The smallest allowed value is 1 hour. For very large models (several GB), persistence could take 10-20 minutes, so do not set the background_persist_interval value too low.
    • custom_settings (Optional, User-defined value): Advanced configuration option. Contains custom meta data about the job.
    • daily_model_snapshot_retention_after_days (Optional, number): Advanced configuration option, which affects the automatic removal of old model snapshots for this job. It specifies a period of time (in days) after which only the first snapshot per day is retained. This period is relative to the timestamp of the most recent snapshot for this job. Valid values range from 0 to model_snapshot_retention_days.
    • datafeed_config (Optional, { aggregations, chunking_config, datafeed_id, delayed_data_check_config, frequency, indices, indices_options, job_id, max_empty_searches, query, query_delay, runtime_mappings, script_fields, scroll_size }): Defines a datafeed for the anomaly detection job. If Elasticsearch security features are enabled, your datafeed remembers which roles the user who created it had at the time of creation and runs the query using those same roles. If you provide secondary authorization headers, those credentials are used instead.
    • description (Optional, string): A description of the job.
    • groups (Optional, string[]): A list of job groups. A job can belong to no groups or many.
    • model_plot_config (Optional, { annotations_enabled, enabled, terms }): This advanced configuration option stores model information along with the results. It provides a more detailed view into anomaly detection. If you enable model plot it can add considerable overhead to the performance of the system; it is not feasible for jobs with many entities. Model plot provides a simplified and indicative view of the model and its bounds. It does not display complex features such as multivariate correlations or multimodal data. As such, anomalies may occasionally be reported which cannot be seen in the model plot. Model plot config can be configured when the job is created or updated later. It must be disabled if performance issues are experienced.
    • model_snapshot_retention_days (Optional, number): Advanced configuration option, which affects the automatic removal of old model snapshots for this job. It specifies the maximum period of time (in days) that snapshots are retained. This period is relative to the timestamp of the most recent snapshot for this job. By default, snapshots ten days older than the newest snapshot are deleted.
    • renormalization_window_days (Optional, number): Advanced configuration option. The period over which adjustments to the score are applied, as new data is seen. The default value is the longer of 30 days or 100 bucket spans.
    • results_index_name (Optional, string): A text string that affects the name of the machine learning results index. By default, the job generates an index named .ml-anomalies-shared.
    • results_retention_days (Optional, number): Advanced configuration option. The period of time (in days) that results are retained. Age is calculated relative to the timestamp of the latest bucket result. If this property has a non-null value, once per day at 00:30 (server time), results that are the specified number of days older than the latest bucket result are deleted from Elasticsearch. The default value is null, which means all results are retained. Annotations generated by the system also count as results for retention purposes; they are deleted after the same number of days as results. Annotations added by users are retained forever.

put_trained_model

edit

Create a trained model. Enable you to supply a trained model that is not created by data frame analytics.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.putTrainedModel({ model_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • model_id (string): The unique identifier of the trained model.
    • compressed_definition (Optional, string): The compressed (GZipped and Base64 encoded) inference definition of the model. If compressed_definition is specified, then definition cannot be specified.
    • definition (Optional, { preprocessors, trained_model }): The inference definition for the model. If definition is specified, then compressed_definition cannot be specified.
    • description (Optional, string): A human-readable description of the inference trained model.
    • inference_config (Optional, { regression, classification, text_classification, zero_shot_classification, fill_mask, ner, pass_through, text_embedding, text_expansion, question_answering }): The default configuration for inference. This can be either a regression or classification configuration. It must match the underlying definition.trained_model’s target_type. For pre-packaged models such as ELSER the config is not required.
    • input (Optional, { field_names }): The input field names for the model definition.
    • metadata (Optional, User-defined value): An object map that contains metadata about the model.
    • model_type (Optional, Enum("tree_ensemble" | "lang_ident" | "pytorch")): The model type.
    • model_size_bytes (Optional, number): The estimated memory usage in bytes to keep the trained model in memory. This property is supported only if defer_definition_decompression is true or the model definition is not supplied.
    • platform_architecture (Optional, string): The platform architecture (if applicable) of the trained mode. If the model only works on one platform, because it is heavily optimized for a particular processor architecture and OS combination, then this field specifies which. The format of the string must match the platform identifiers used by Elasticsearch, so one of, linux-x86_64, linux-aarch64, darwin-x86_64, darwin-aarch64, or windows-x86_64. For portable models (those that work independent of processor architecture or OS features), leave this field unset.
    • tags (Optional, string[]): An array of tags to organize the model.
    • prefix_strings (Optional, { ingest, search }): Optional prefix strings applied at inference
    • defer_definition_decompression (Optional, boolean): If set to true and a compressed_definition is provided, the request defers definition decompression and skips relevant validations.
    • wait_for_completion (Optional, boolean): Whether to wait for all child operations (e.g. model download) to complete.

put_trained_model_alias

edit

Create or update a trained model alias. A trained model alias is a logical name used to reference a single trained model. You can use aliases instead of trained model identifiers to make it easier to reference your models. For example, you can use aliases in inference aggregations and processors. An alias must be unique and refer to only a single trained model. However, you can have multiple aliases for each trained model. If you use this API to update an alias such that it references a different trained model ID and the model uses a different type of data frame analytics, an error occurs. For example, this situation occurs if you have a trained model for regression analysis and a trained model for classification analysis; you cannot reassign an alias from one type of trained model to another. If you use this API to update an alias and there are very few input fields in common between the old and new trained models for the model alias, the API returns a warning.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.putTrainedModelAlias({ model_alias, model_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • model_alias (string): The alias to create or update. This value cannot end in numbers.
    • model_id (string): The identifier for the trained model that the alias refers to.
    • reassign (Optional, boolean): Specifies whether the alias gets reassigned to the specified trained model if it is already assigned to a different model. If the alias is already assigned and this parameter is false, the API returns an error.

put_trained_model_definition_part

edit

Create part of a trained model definition.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.putTrainedModelDefinitionPart({ model_id, part, definition, total_definition_length, total_parts })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • model_id (string): The unique identifier of the trained model.
    • part (number): The definition part number. When the definition is loaded for inference the definition parts are streamed in the order of their part number. The first part must be 0 and the final part must be total_parts - 1.
    • definition (string): The definition part for the model. Must be a base64 encoded string.
    • total_definition_length (number): The total uncompressed definition length in bytes. Not base64 encoded.
    • total_parts (number): The total number of parts that will be uploaded. Must be greater than 0.

put_trained_model_vocabulary

edit

Create a trained model vocabulary. This API is supported only for natural language processing (NLP) models. The vocabulary is stored in the index as described in inference_config.*.vocabulary of the trained model definition.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.putTrainedModelVocabulary({ model_id, vocabulary })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • model_id (string): The unique identifier of the trained model.
    • vocabulary (string[]): The model vocabulary, which must not be empty.
    • merges (Optional, string[]): The optional model merges if required by the tokenizer.
    • scores (Optional, number[]): The optional vocabulary value scores if required by the tokenizer.

reset_job

edit

Reset an anomaly detection job. All model state and results are deleted. The job is ready to start over as if it had just been created. It is not currently possible to reset multiple jobs using wildcards or a comma separated list.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.resetJob({ job_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • job_id (string): The ID of the job to reset.
    • wait_for_completion (Optional, boolean): Should this request wait until the operation has completed before returning.
    • delete_user_annotations (Optional, boolean): Specifies whether annotations that have been added by the user should be deleted along with any auto-generated annotations when the job is reset.

revert_model_snapshot

edit

Revert to a snapshot. The machine learning features react quickly to anomalous input, learning new behaviors in data. Highly anomalous input increases the variance in the models whilst the system learns whether this is a new step-change in behavior or a one-off event. In the case where this anomalous input is known to be a one-off, then it might be appropriate to reset the model state to a time before this event. For example, you might consider reverting to a saved snapshot after Black Friday or a critical system failure.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.revertModelSnapshot({ job_id, snapshot_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • job_id (string): Identifier for the anomaly detection job.
    • snapshot_id (string): You can specify empty as the <snapshot_id>. Reverting to the empty snapshot means the anomaly detection job starts learning a new model from scratch when it is started.
    • delete_intervening_results (Optional, boolean): Refer to the description for the delete_intervening_results query parameter.

set_upgrade_mode

edit

Set upgrade_mode for ML indices. Sets a cluster wide upgrade_mode setting that prepares machine learning indices for an upgrade. When upgrading your cluster, in some circumstances you must restart your nodes and reindex your machine learning indices. In those circumstances, there must be no machine learning jobs running. You can close the machine learning jobs, do the upgrade, then open all the jobs again. Alternatively, you can use this API to temporarily halt tasks associated with the jobs and datafeeds and prevent new jobs from opening. You can also use this API during upgrades that do not require you to reindex your machine learning indices, though stopping jobs is not a requirement in that case. You can see the current value for the upgrade_mode setting by using the get machine learning info API.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.setUpgradeMode({ ... })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • enabled (Optional, boolean): When true, it enables upgrade_mode which temporarily halts all job and datafeed tasks and prohibits new job and datafeed tasks from starting.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): The time to wait for the request to be completed.

start_data_frame_analytics

edit

Start a data frame analytics job. A data frame analytics job can be started and stopped multiple times throughout its lifecycle. If the destination index does not exist, it is created automatically the first time you start the data frame analytics job. The index.number_of_shards and index.number_of_replicas settings for the destination index are copied from the source index. If there are multiple source indices, the destination index copies the highest setting values. The mappings for the destination index are also copied from the source indices. If there are any mapping conflicts, the job fails to start. If the destination index exists, it is used as is. You can therefore set up the destination index in advance with custom settings and mappings.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.startDataFrameAnalytics({ id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • id (string): Identifier for the data frame analytics job. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Controls the amount of time to wait until the data frame analytics job starts.

start_datafeed

edit

Start datafeeds.

A datafeed must be started in order to retrieve data from Elasticsearch. A datafeed can be started and stopped multiple times throughout its lifecycle.

Before you can start a datafeed, the anomaly detection job must be open. Otherwise, an error occurs.

If you restart a stopped datafeed, it continues processing input data from the next millisecond after it was stopped. If new data was indexed for that exact millisecond between stopping and starting, it will be ignored.

When Elasticsearch security features are enabled, your datafeed remembers which roles the last user to create or update it had at the time of creation or update and runs the query using those same roles. If you provided secondary authorization headers when you created or updated the datafeed, those credentials are used instead.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.startDatafeed({ datafeed_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • datafeed_id (string): A numerical character string that uniquely identifies the datafeed. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.
    • end (Optional, string | Unit): Refer to the description for the end query parameter.
    • start (Optional, string | Unit): Refer to the description for the start query parameter.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Refer to the description for the timeout query parameter.

start_trained_model_deployment

edit

Start a trained model deployment. It allocates the model to every machine learning node.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.startTrainedModelDeployment({ model_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • model_id (string): The unique identifier of the trained model. Currently, only PyTorch models are supported.
    • cache_size (Optional, number | string): The inference cache size (in memory outside the JVM heap) per node for the model. The default value is the same size as the model_size_bytes. To disable the cache, 0b can be provided.
    • deployment_id (Optional, string): A unique identifier for the deployment of the model.
    • number_of_allocations (Optional, number): The number of model allocations on each node where the model is deployed. All allocations on a node share the same copy of the model in memory but use a separate set of threads to evaluate the model. Increasing this value generally increases the throughput.

    • priority (Optional, Enum("normal" | "low")): The deployment priority.
    • queue_capacity (Optional, number): Specifies the number of inference requests that are allowed in the queue. After the number of requests exceeds this value, new requests are rejected with a 429 error.
    • threads_per_allocation (Optional, number): Sets the number of threads used by each model allocation during inference. This generally increases the inference speed. The inference process is a compute-bound process; any number greater than the number of available hardware threads on the machine does not increase the inference speed. If this setting is greater than the number of hardware threads it will automatically be changed to a value less than the number of hardware threads.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Specifies the amount of time to wait for the model to deploy.

stop_data_frame_analytics

edit

Stop data frame analytics jobs. A data frame analytics job can be started and stopped multiple times throughout its lifecycle.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.stopDataFrameAnalytics({ id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • id (string): Identifier for the data frame analytics job. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.

    • allow_no_match (Optional, boolean): Specifies what to do when the request:

      1. Contains wildcard expressions and there are no data frame analytics jobs that match.
      2. Contains the _all string or no identifiers and there are no matches.
      3. Contains wildcard expressions and there are only partial matches.

The default value is true, which returns an empty data_frame_analytics array when there are no matches and the subset of results when there are partial matches. If this parameter is false, the request returns a 404 status code when there are no matches or only partial matches. force (Optional, boolean): If true, the data frame analytics job is stopped forcefully. timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Controls the amount of time to wait until the data frame analytics job stops. Defaults to 20 seconds.

stop_datafeed

edit

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.stopDatafeed({ datafeed_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • datafeed_id (string): Identifier for the datafeed. You can stop multiple datafeeds in a single API request by using a comma-separated list of datafeeds or a wildcard expression. You can close all datafeeds by using _all or by specifying * as the identifier.
    • allow_no_match (Optional, boolean): Refer to the description for the allow_no_match query parameter.
    • force (Optional, boolean): Refer to the description for the force query parameter.

    • allow_no_match (Optional, boolean): Specifies what to do when the request: contains wildcard expressions and there are no deployments that match; contains the _all string or no identifiers and there are no matches; or contains wildcard expressions and there are only partial matches. By default, it returns an empty array when there are no matches and the subset of results when there are partial matches. If false, the request returns a 404 status code when there are no matches or only partial matches.
    • force (Optional, boolean): Forcefully stops the deployment, even if it is used by ingest pipelines. You can’t use these pipelines until you restart the model deployment.

update_data_frame_analytics

edit

Update a data frame analytics job.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.updateDataFrameAnalytics({ id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • id (string): Identifier for the data frame analytics job. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.
    • description (Optional, string): A description of the job.
    • model_memory_limit (Optional, string): The approximate maximum amount of memory resources that are permitted for analytical processing. If your elasticsearch.yml file contains an xpack.ml.max_model_memory_limit setting, an error occurs when you try to create data frame analytics jobs that have model_memory_limit values greater than that setting.
    • max_num_threads (Optional, number): The maximum number of threads to be used by the analysis. Using more threads may decrease the time necessary to complete the analysis at the cost of using more CPU. Note that the process may use additional threads for operational functionality other than the analysis itself.
    • allow_lazy_start (Optional, boolean): Specifies whether this job can start when there is insufficient machine learning node capacity for it to be immediately assigned to a node.

update_datafeed

edit

Update a datafeed. You must stop and start the datafeed for the changes to be applied. When Elasticsearch security features are enabled, your datafeed remembers which roles the user who updated it had at the time of the update and runs the query using those same roles. If you provide secondary authorization headers, those credentials are used instead.

Endpoint documentation

client.ml.updateDatafeed({ datafeed_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • datafeed_id (string): A numerical character string that uniquely identifies the datafeed. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.
    • aggregations (Optional, Record<string, { aggregations, meta, adjacency_matrix, auto_date_histogram, avg, avg_bucket, boxplot, bucket_script, bucket_selector, bucket_sort, bucket_count_ks_test, bucket_correlation, cardinality, categorize_text, children, composite, cumulative_cardinality, cumulative_sum, date_histogram, date_range, derivative, diversified_sampler, extended_stats, extended_stats_bucket, frequent_item_sets, filter, filters, geo_bounds, geo_centroid, geo_distance, geohash_grid, geo_line, geotile_grid, geohex_grid, global, histogram, ip_range, ip_prefix, inference, line, matrix_stats, max, max_bucket, median_absolute_deviation, min, min_bucket, missing, moving_avg, moving_percentiles, moving_fn, multi_terms, nested, normalize, parent, percentile_ranks, percentiles, percentiles_bucket, range, rare_terms, rate, reverse_nested, random_sampler, sampler, scripted_metric, serial_diff, significant_terms, significant_text, stats, stats_bucket, string_stats, sum, sum_bucket, terms, time_series, top_hits, t_test, top_metrics, value_count, weighted_avg, variable_width_histogram }>): If set, the datafeed performs aggregation searches. Support for aggregations is limited and should be used only with low cardinality data.
    • chunking_config (Optional, { mode, time_span }): Datafeeds might search over long time periods, for several months or years. This search is split into time chunks in order to ensure the load on Elasticsearch is managed. Chunking configuration controls how the size of these time chunks are calculated; it is an advanced configuration option.
    • delayed_data_check_config (Optional, { check_window, enabled }): Specifies whether the datafeed checks for missing data and the size of the window. The datafeed can optionally search over indices that have already been read in an effort to determine whether any data has subsequently been added to the index. If missing data is found, it is a good indication that the query_delay is set too low and the data is being indexed after the datafeed has passed that moment in time. This check runs only on real-time datafeeds.
    • frequency (Optional, string | -1 | 0): The interval at which scheduled queries are made while the datafeed runs in real time. The default value is either the bucket span for short bucket spans, or, for longer bucket spans, a sensible fraction of the bucket span. When frequency is shorter than the bucket span, interim results for the last (partial) bucket are written then eventually overwritten by the full bucket results. If the datafeed uses aggregations, this value must be divisible by the interval of the date histogram aggregation.
    • indices (Optional, string[]): An array of index names. Wildcards are supported. If any of the indices are in remote clusters, the machine learning nodes must have the remote_cluster_client role.
    • indices_options (Optional, { allow_no_indices, expand_wildcards, ignore_unavailable, ignore_throttled }): Specifies index expansion options that are used during search.
    • job_id (Optional, string)
    • max_empty_searches (Optional, number): If a real-time datafeed has never seen any data (including during any initial training period), it automatically stops and closes the associated job after this many real-time searches return no documents. In other words, it stops after frequency times max_empty_searches of real-time operation. If not set, a datafeed with no end time that sees no data remains started until it is explicitly stopped. By default, it is not set.
    • query (Optional, { bool, boosting, common, combined_fields, constant_score, dis_max, distance_feature, exists, function_score, fuzzy, geo_bounding_box, geo_distance, geo_polygon, geo_shape, has_child, has_parent, ids, intervals, knn, match, match_all, match_bool_prefix, match_none, match_phrase, match_phrase_prefix, more_like_this, multi_match, nested, parent_id, percolate, pinned, prefix, query_string, range, rank_feature, regexp, rule, script, script_score, semantic, shape, simple_query_string, span_containing, span_field_masking, span_first, span_multi, span_near, span_not, span_or, span_term, span_within, sparse_vector, term, terms, terms_set, text_expansion, weighted_tokens, wildcard, wrapper, type }): The Elasticsearch query domain-specific language (DSL). This value corresponds to the query object in an Elasticsearch search POST body. All the options that are supported by Elasticsearch can be used, as this object is passed verbatim to Elasticsearch. Note that if you change the query, the analyzed data is also changed. Therefore, the time required to learn might be long and the understandability of the results is unpredictable. If you want to make significant changes to the source data, it is recommended that you clone the job and datafeed and make the amendments in the clone. Let both run in parallel and close one when you are satisfied with the results of the job.
    • query_delay (Optional, string | -1 | 0): The number of seconds behind real time that data is queried. For example, if data from 10:04 a.m. might not be searchable in Elasticsearch until 10:06 a.m., set this property to 120 seconds. The default value is randomly selected between 60s and 120s. This randomness improves the query performance when there are multiple jobs running on the same node.
    • runtime_mappings (Optional, Record<string, { fields, fetch_fields, format, input_field, target_field, target_index, script, type }>): Specifies runtime fields for the datafeed search.
    • script_fields (Optional, Record<string, { script, ignore_failure }>): Specifies scripts that evaluate custom expressions and returns script fields to the datafeed. The detector configuration objects in a job can contain functions that use these script fields.
    • scroll_size (Optional, number): The size parameter that is used in Elasticsearch searches when the datafeed does not use aggregations. The maximum value is the value of index.max_result_window.
    • allow_no_indices (Optional, boolean): If true, wildcard indices expressions that resolve into no concrete indices are ignored. This includes the _all string or when no indices are specified.
    • expand_wildcards (Optional, Enum("all" | "open" | "closed" | "hidden" | "none") | Enum("all" | "open" | "closed" | "hidden" | "none")[]): Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports a list of values. Valid values are:
  • all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
  • closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.
  • hidden: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined with open, closed, or both.
  • none: Wildcard patterns are not accepted.

  • open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.

    • ignore_throttled (Optional, boolean): If true, concrete, expanded or aliased indices are ignored when frozen.
    • ignore_unavailable (Optional, boolean): If true, unavailable indices (missing or closed) are ignored.

update_filter

edit

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • job_id (string): Identifier for the job.
    • allow_lazy_open (Optional, boolean): Advanced configuration option. Specifies whether this job can open when there is insufficient machine learning node capacity for it to be immediately assigned to a node. If false and a machine learning node with capacity to run the job cannot immediately be found, the open anomaly detection jobs API returns an error. However, this is also subject to the cluster-wide xpack.ml.max_lazy_ml_nodes setting. If this option is set to true, the open anomaly detection jobs API does not return an error and the job waits in the opening state until sufficient machine learning node capacity is available.
    • analysis_limits (Optional, { model_memory_limit })
    • background_persist_interval (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Advanced configuration option. The time between each periodic persistence of the model. The default value is a randomized value between 3 to 4 hours, which avoids all jobs persisting at exactly the same time. The smallest allowed value is 1 hour. For very large models (several GB), persistence could take 10-20 minutes, so do not set the value too low. If the job is open when you make the update, you must stop the datafeed, close the job, then reopen the job and restart the datafeed for the changes to take effect.
    • custom_settings (Optional, Record<string, User-defined value>): Advanced configuration option. Contains custom meta data about the job. For example, it can contain custom URL information as shown in Adding custom URLs to machine learning results.
    • categorization_filters (Optional, string[])
    • description (Optional, string): A description of the job.
    • model_plot_config (Optional, { annotations_enabled, enabled, terms })
    • model_prune_window (Optional, string | -1 | 0)
    • daily_model_snapshot_retention_after_days (Optional, number): Advanced configuration option, which affects the automatic removal of old model snapshots for this job. It specifies a period of time (in days) after which only the first snapshot per day is retained. This period is relative to the timestamp of the most recent snapshot for this job. Valid values range from 0 to model_snapshot_retention_days. For jobs created before version 7.8.0, the default value matches model_snapshot_retention_days.
    • model_snapshot_retention_days (Optional, number): Advanced configuration option, which affects the automatic removal of old model snapshots for this job. It specifies the maximum period of time (in days) that snapshots are retained. This period is relative to the timestamp of the most recent snapshot for this job.
    • renormalization_window_days (Optional, number): Advanced configuration option. The period over which adjustments to the score are applied, as new data is seen.
    • results_retention_days (Optional, number): Advanced configuration option. The period of time (in days) that results are retained. Age is calculated relative to the timestamp of the latest bucket result. If this property has a non-null value, once per day at 00:30 (server time), results that are the specified number of days older than the latest bucket result are deleted from Elasticsearch. The default value is null, which means all results are retained.
    • groups (Optional, string[]): A list of job groups. A job can belong to no groups or many.
    • detectors (Optional, { by_field_name, custom_rules, detector_description, detector_index, exclude_frequent, field_name, function, over_field_name, partition_field_name, use_null }[]): An array of detector update objects.
    • per_partition_categorization (Optional, { enabled, stop_on_warn }): Settings related to how categorization interacts with partition fields.

upgrade_job_snapshot

edit

Upgrade a snapshot. Upgrades an anomaly detection model snapshot to the latest major version. Over time, older snapshot formats are deprecated and removed. Anomaly detection jobs support only snapshots that are from the current or previous major version. This API provides a means to upgrade a snapshot to the current major version. This aids in preparing the cluster for an upgrade to the next major version. Only one snapshot per anomaly detection job can be upgraded at a time and the upgraded snapshot cannot be the current snapshot of the anomaly detection job.

    • id (string): Identifier for the rollup job. This can be any alphanumeric string and uniquely identifies the data that is associated with the rollup job. The ID is persistent; it is stored with the rolled up data. If you create a job, let it run for a while, then delete the job, the data that the job rolled up is still be associated with this job ID. You cannot create a new job with the same ID since that could lead to problems with mismatched job configurations.
    • cron (string): A cron string which defines the intervals when the rollup job should be executed. When the interval triggers, the indexer attempts to rollup the data in the index pattern. The cron pattern is unrelated to the time interval of the data being rolled up. For example, you may wish to create hourly rollups of your document but to only run the indexer on a daily basis at midnight, as defined by the cron. The cron pattern is defined just like a Watcher cron schedule.
    • groups ({ date_histogram, histogram, terms }): Defines the grouping fields and aggregations that are defined for this rollup job. These fields will then be available later for aggregating into buckets. These aggs and fields can be used in any combination. Think of the groups configuration as defining a set of tools that can later be used in aggregations to partition the data. Unlike raw data, we have to think ahead to which fields and aggregations might be used. Rollups provide enough flexibility that you simply need to determine which fields are needed, not in what order they are needed.
    • index_pattern (string): The index or index pattern to roll up. Supports wildcard-style patterns (logstash-*). The job attempts to rollup the entire index or index-pattern.
    • page_size (number): The number of bucket results that are processed on each iteration of the rollup indexer. A larger value tends to execute faster, but requires more memory during processing. This value has no effect on how the data is rolled up; it is merely used for tweaking the speed or memory cost of the indexer.
    • rollup_index (string): The index that contains the rollup results. The index can be shared with other rollup jobs. The data is stored so that it doesn’t interfere with unrelated jobs.
    • metrics (Optional, { field, metrics }[]): Defines the metrics to collect for each grouping tuple. By default, only the doc_counts are collected for each group. To make rollup useful, you will often add metrics like averages, mins, maxes, etc. Metrics are defined on a per-field basis and for each field you configure which metric should be collected.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Time to wait for the request to complete.
    • headers (Optional, Record<string, string | string[]>)

This parameter is optional. When it is not specified or is an empty array, then the API key will have a point in time snapshot of permissions of the authenticated user. If you supply role descriptors then the resultant permissions would be an intersection of API keys permissions and authenticated user’s permissions thereby limiting the access scope for API keys. The structure of role descriptor is the same as the request for create role API. For more details, see create or update roles API.
    • metadata (Optional, Record<string, User-defined value>): Arbitrary metadata that you want to associate with the API key. It supports nested data structure. Within the metadata object, keys beginning with _ are reserved for system usage.

create_cross_cluster_api_key

edit

Create a cross-cluster API key.

Create an API key of the cross_cluster type for the API key based remote cluster access. A cross_cluster API key cannot be used to authenticate through the REST interface.

To authenticate this request you must use a credential that is not an API key. Even if you use an API key that has the required privilege, the API returns an error.

Cross-cluster API keys are created by the Elasticsearch API key service, which is automatically enabled.

Unlike REST API keys, a cross-cluster API key does not capture permissions of the authenticated user. The API key’s effective permission is exactly as specified with the access property.

A successful request returns a JSON structure that contains the API key, its unique ID, and its name. If applicable, it also returns expiration information for the API key in milliseconds.

By default, API keys never expire. You can specify expiration information when you create the API keys.

Cross-cluster API keys can only be updated with the update cross-cluster API key API. Attempting to update them with the update REST API key API or the bulk update REST API keys API will result in an error.

Endpoint documentation

client.security.createCrossClusterApiKey({ access, name })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • access ({ replication, search }): The access to be granted to this API key. The access is composed of permissions for cross-cluster search and cross-cluster replication. At least one of them must be specified.

No explicit privileges should be specified for either search or replication access. The creation process automatically converts the access specification to a role descriptor which has relevant privileges assigned accordingly. name (string): Specifies the name for this API key. expiration (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Expiration time for the API key. By default, API keys never expire. * *metadata (Optional, Record<string, User-defined value>): Arbitrary metadata that you want to associate with the API key. It supports nested data structure. Within the metadata object, keys beginning with _ are reserved for system usage.

grant_api_key

edit

Grant an API key.

Create an API key on behalf of another user. This API is similar to the create API keys API, however it creates the API key for a user that is different than the user that runs the API. The caller must have authentication credentials (either an access token, or a username and password) for the user on whose behalf the API key will be created. It is not possible to use this API to create an API key without that user’s credentials. The user, for whom the authentication credentials is provided, can optionally "run as" (impersonate) another user. In this case, the API key will be created on behalf of the impersonated user.

This API is intended be used by applications that need to create and manage API keys for end users, but cannot guarantee that those users have permission to create API keys on their own behalf.

A successful grant API key API call returns a JSON structure that contains the API key, its unique id, and its name. If applicable, it also returns expiration information for the API key in milliseconds.

By default, API keys never expire. You can specify expiration information when you create the API keys.

invalidate_api_key

edit

Invalidate API keys.

This API invalidates API keys created by the create API key or grant API key APIs. Invalidated API keys fail authentication, but they can still be viewed using the get API key information and query API key information APIs, for at least the configured retention period, until they are automatically deleted. The manage_api_key privilege allows deleting any API keys. The manage_own_api_key only allows deleting API keys that are owned by the user. In addition, with the manage_own_api_key privilege, an invalidation request must be issued in one of the three formats: - Set the parameter owner=true. - Or, set both username and realm_name to match the user’s identity. - Or, if the request is issued by an API key, that is to say an API key invalidates itself, specify its ID in the ids field.

Endpoint documentation

client.security.invalidateApiKey({ ... })

    • refresh (Optional, Enum(true | false | "wait_for")): If true (the default) then refresh the affected shards to make this operation visible to search, if wait_for then wait for a refresh to make this operation visible to search, if false then do nothing with refreshes.

put_role_mapping

edit

Create or update role mappings.

Role mappings define which roles are assigned to each user. Each mapping has rules that identify users and a list of roles that are granted to those users. The role mapping APIs are generally the preferred way to manage role mappings rather than using role mapping files. The create or update role mappings API cannot update role mappings that are defined in role mapping files.

This API does not create roles. Rather, it maps users to existing roles. Roles can be created by using the create or update roles API or roles files.

update_api_key

edit

Update an API key.

Updates attributes of an existing API key. Users can only update API keys that they created or that were granted to them. Use this API to update API keys created by the create API Key or grant API Key APIs. If you need to apply the same update to many API keys, you can use bulk update API Keys to reduce overhead. It’s not possible to update expired API keys, or API keys that have been invalidated by invalidate API Key. This API supports updates to an API key’s access scope and metadata. The access scope of an API key is derived from the role_descriptors you specify in the request, and a snapshot of the owner user’s permissions at the time of the request. The snapshot of the owner’s permissions is updated automatically on every call. If you don’t specify role_descriptors in the request, a call to this API might still change the API key’s access scope. This change can occur if the owner user’s permissions have changed since the API key was created or last modified. To update another user’s API key, use the run_as feature to submit a request on behalf of another user. IMPORTANT: It’s not possible to use an API key as the authentication credential for this API. To update an API key, the owner user’s credentials are required.

Endpoint documentation

client.security.updateApiKey({ id })

Arguments

edit

    • role_descriptors (Optional, Record<string, { cluster, indices, global, applications, metadata, run_as, description, transient_metadata }>): An array of role descriptors for this API key. This parameter is optional. When it is not specified or is an empty array, then the API key will have a point in time snapshot of permissions of the authenticated user. If you supply role descriptors then the resultant permissions would be an intersection of API keys permissions and authenticated user’s permissions thereby limiting the access scope for API keys. The structure of role descriptor is the same as the request for create role API. For more details, see create or update roles API.
    • metadata (Optional, Record<string, User-defined value>): Arbitrary metadata that you want to associate with the API key. It supports nested data structure. Within the metadata object, keys beginning with _ are reserved for system usage.
    • expiration (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Expiration time for the API key.

update_cross_cluster_api_key

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • node_id (string): The node id of node to be shut down
    • type (Enum("restart" | "remove" | "replace")): Valid values are restart, remove, or replace. Use restart when you need to temporarily shut down a node to perform an upgrade, make configuration changes, or perform other maintenance. Because the node is expected to rejoin the cluster, data is not migrated off of the node. Use remove when you need to permanently remove a node from the cluster. The node is not marked ready for shutdown until data is migrated off of the node Use replace to do a 1:1 replacement of a node with another node. Certain allocation decisions will be ignored (such as disk watermarks) in the interest of true replacement of the source node with the target node. During a replace-type shutdown, rollover and index creation may result in unassigned shards, and shrink may fail until the replacement is complete.
    • reason (string): A human-readable reason that the node is being shut down. This field provides information for other cluster operators; it does not affect the shut down process.
    • allocation_delay (Optional, string): Only valid if type is restart. Controls how long Elasticsearch will wait for the node to restart and join the cluster before reassigning its shards to other nodes. This works the same as delaying allocation with the index.unassigned.node_left.delayed_timeout setting. If you specify both a restart allocation delay and an index-level allocation delay, the longer of the two is used.
    • target_node_name (Optional, string): Only valid if type is replace. Specifies the name of the node that is replacing the node being shut down. Shards from the shut down node are only allowed to be allocated to the target node, and no other data will be allocated to the target node. During relocation of data certain allocation rules are ignored, such as disk watermarks or user attribute filtering rules.
    • master_timeout (Optional, Enum("nanos" | "micros" | "ms" | "s" | "m" | "h" | "d")): Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.
    • timeout (Optional, Enum("nanos" | "micros" | "ms" | "s" | "m" | "h" | "d")): Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

ssl

edit

certificates

edit

Get SSL certificates.

Get information about the X.509 certificates that are used to encrypt communications in the cluster. The API returns a list that includes certificates from all TLS contexts including:

  • Settings for transport and HTTP interfaces
  • TLS settings that are used within authentication realms
  • TLS settings for remote monitoring exporters

The list includes certificates that are used for configuring trust, such as those configured in the xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore and xpack.security.transport.ssl.certificate_authorities settings. It also includes certificates that are used for configuring server identity, such as xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore and xpack.security.http.ssl.certificate settings.

The list does not include certificates that are sourced from the default SSL context of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), even if those certificates are in use within Elasticsearch.

When a PKCS#11 token is configured as the truststore of the JRE, the API returns all the certificates that are included in the PKCS#11 token irrespective of whether these are used in the Elasticsearch TLS configuration.

If Elasticsearch is configured to use a keystore or truststore, the API output includes all certificates in that store, even though some of the certificates might not be in active use within the cluster.

Endpoint documentation

client.textStructure.findStructure({ ... })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • text_files (Optional, TJsonDocument[])
    • charset (Optional, string): The text’s character set. It must be a character set that is supported by the JVM that Elasticsearch uses. For example, UTF-8, UTF-16LE, windows-1252, or EUC-JP. If this parameter is not specified, the structure finder chooses an appropriate character set.
    • column_names (Optional, string): If you have set format to delimited, you can specify the column names in a list. If this parameter is not specified, the structure finder uses the column names from the header row of the text. If the text does not have a header role, columns are named "column1", "column2", "column3", etc.
    • delimiter (Optional, string): If you have set format to delimited, you can specify the character used to delimit the values in each row. Only a single character is supported; the delimiter cannot have multiple characters. By default, the API considers the following possibilities: comma, tab, semi-colon, and pipe (|). In this default scenario, all rows must have the same number of fields for the delimited format to be detected. If you specify a delimiter, up to 10% of the rows can have a different number of columns than the first row.
    • ecs_compatibility (Optional, string): The mode of compatibility with ECS compliant Grok patterns (disabled or v1, default: disabled).
    • explain (Optional, boolean): If this parameter is set to true, the response includes a field named explanation, which is an array of strings that indicate how the structure finder produced its result.
    • format (Optional, string): The high level structure of the text. Valid values are ndjson, xml, delimited, and semi_structured_text. By default, the API chooses the format. In this default scenario, all rows must have the same number of fields for a delimited format to be detected. If the format is set to delimited and the delimiter is not set, however, the API tolerates up to 5% of rows that have a different number of columns than the first row.
    • grok_pattern (Optional, string): If you have set format to semi_structured_text, you can specify a Grok pattern that is used to extract fields from every message in the text. The name of the timestamp field in the Grok pattern must match what is specified in the timestamp_field parameter. If that parameter is not specified, the name of the timestamp field in the Grok pattern must match "timestamp". If grok_pattern is not specified, the structure finder creates a Grok pattern.
    • has_header_row (Optional, boolean): If you have set format to delimited, you can use this parameter to indicate whether the column names are in the first row of the text. If this parameter is not specified, the structure finder guesses based on the similarity of the first row of the text to other rows.
    • line_merge_size_limit (Optional, number): The maximum number of characters in a message when lines are merged to form messages while analyzing semi-structured text. If you have extremely long messages you may need to increase this, but be aware that this may lead to very long processing times if the way to group lines into messages is misdetected.
    • lines_to_sample (Optional, number): The number of lines to include in the structural analysis, starting from the beginning of the text. The minimum is 2; If the value of this parameter is greater than the number of lines in the text, the analysis proceeds (as long as there are at least two lines in the text) for all of the lines.
    • quote (Optional, string): If you have set format to delimited, you can specify the character used to quote the values in each row if they contain newlines or the delimiter character. Only a single character is supported. If this parameter is not specified, the default value is a double quote ("). If your delimited text format does not use quoting, a workaround is to set this argument to a character that does not appear anywhere in the sample.
    • should_trim_fields (Optional, boolean): If you have set format to delimited, you can specify whether values between delimiters should have whitespace trimmed from them. If this parameter is not specified and the delimiter is pipe (|), the default value is true. Otherwise, the default value is false.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Sets the maximum amount of time that the structure analysis make take. If the analysis is still running when the timeout expires then it will be aborted.
    • timestamp_field (Optional, string): Optional parameter to specify the timestamp field in the file
    • timestamp_format (Optional, string): The Java time format of the timestamp field in the text.

put_transform

edit

Create a transform. Creates a transform.

A transform copies data from source indices, transforms it, and persists it into an entity-centric destination index. You can also think of the destination index as a two-dimensional tabular data structure (known as a data frame). The ID for each document in the data frame is generated from a hash of the entity, so there is a unique row per entity.

You must choose either the latest or pivot method for your transform; you cannot use both in a single transform. If you choose to use the pivot method for your transform, the entities are defined by the set of group_by fields in the pivot object. If you choose to use the latest method, the entities are defined by the unique_key field values in the latest object.

You must have create_index, index, and read privileges on the destination index and read and view_index_metadata privileges on the source indices. When Elasticsearch security features are enabled, the transform remembers which roles the user that created it had at the time of creation and uses those same roles. If those roles do not have the required privileges on the source and destination indices, the transform fails when it attempts unauthorized operations.

You must use Kibana or this API to create a transform. Do not add a transform directly into any .transform-internal* indices using the Elasticsearch index API. If Elasticsearch security features are enabled, do not give users any privileges on .transform-internal* indices. If you used transforms prior to 7.5, also do not give users any privileges on .data-frame-internal* indices.

Endpoint documentation

client.transform.putTransform({ transform_id, dest, source })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • transform_id (string): Identifier for the transform. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It has a 64 character limit and must start and end with alphanumeric characters.
    • dest ({ index, op_type, pipeline, routing, version_type }): The destination for the transform.
    • source ({ index, query, remote, size, slice, sort, _source, runtime_mappings }): The source of the data for the transform.
    • description (Optional, string): Free text description of the transform.
    • frequency (Optional, string | -1 | 0): The interval between checks for changes in the source indices when the transform is running continuously. Also determines the retry interval in the event of transient failures while the transform is searching or indexing. The minimum value is 1s and the maximum is 1h.
    • latest (Optional, { sort, unique_key }): The latest method transforms the data by finding the latest document for each unique key.
    • _meta (Optional, Record<string, User-defined value>): Defines optional transform metadata.
    • pivot (Optional, { aggregations, group_by }): The pivot method transforms the data by aggregating and grouping it. These objects define the group by fields and the aggregation to reduce the data.
    • retention_policy (Optional, { time }): Defines a retention policy for the transform. Data that meets the defined criteria is deleted from the destination index.
    • settings (Optional, { align_checkpoints, dates_as_epoch_millis, deduce_mappings, docs_per_second, max_page_search_size, unattended }): Defines optional transform settings.
    • sync (Optional, { time }): Defines the properties transforms require to run continuously.
    • defer_validation (Optional, boolean): When the transform is created, a series of validations occur to ensure its success. For example, there is a check for the existence of the source indices and a check that the destination index is not part of the source index pattern. You can use this parameter to skip the checks, for example when the source index does not exist until after the transform is created. The validations are always run when you start the transform, however, with the exception of privilege checks.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

reset_transform

edit

Reset a transform. Resets a transform. Before you can reset it, you must stop it; alternatively, use the force query parameter. If the destination index was created by the transform, it is deleted.

Endpoint documentation

client.transform.resetTransform({ transform_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • transform_id (string): Identifier for the transform. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It has a 64 character limit and must start and end with alphanumeric characters.
    • force (Optional, boolean): If this value is true, the transform is reset regardless of its current state. If it’s false, the transform must be stopped before it can be reset.

schedule_now_transform

edit

Schedule a transform to start now. Instantly runs a transform to process data.

If you _schedule_now a transform, it will process the new data instantly, without waiting for the configured frequency interval. After _schedule_now API is called, the transform will be processed again at now + frequency unless _schedule_now API is called again in the meantime.

Endpoint documentation

client.transform.scheduleNowTransform({ transform_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • transform_id (string): Identifier for the transform.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Controls the time to wait for the scheduling to take place

start_transform

edit

Start a transform. Starts a transform.

When you start a transform, it creates the destination index if it does not already exist. The number_of_shards is set to 1 and the auto_expand_replicas is set to 0-1. If it is a pivot transform, it deduces the mapping definitions for the destination index from the source indices and the transform aggregations. If fields in the destination index are derived from scripts (as in the case of scripted_metric or bucket_script aggregations), the transform uses dynamic mappings unless an index template exists. If it is a latest transform, it does not deduce mapping definitions; it uses dynamic mappings. To use explicit mappings, create the destination index before you start the transform. Alternatively, you can create an index template, though it does not affect the deduced mappings in a pivot transform.

When the transform starts, a series of validations occur to ensure its success. If you deferred validation when you created the transform, they occur when you start the transform—​with the exception of privilege checks. When Elasticsearch security features are enabled, the transform remembers which roles the user that created it had at the time of creation and uses those same roles. If those roles do not have the required privileges on the source and destination indices, the transform fails when it attempts unauthorized operations.

Endpoint documentation

client.transform.startTransform({ transform_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • transform_id (string): Identifier for the transform.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.
    • from (Optional, string): Restricts the set of transformed entities to those changed after this time. Relative times like now-30d are supported. Only applicable for continuous transforms.

stop_transform

edit

Stop transforms. Stops one or more transforms.

Endpoint documentation

client.transform.stopTransform({ transform_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • transform_id (string): Identifier for the transform. To stop multiple transforms, use a list or a wildcard expression. To stop all transforms, use _all or * as the identifier.
    • allow_no_match (Optional, boolean): Specifies what to do when the request: contains wildcard expressions and there are no transforms that match; contains the _all string or no identifiers and there are no matches; contains wildcard expressions and there are only partial matches.

If it is true, the API returns a successful acknowledgement message when there are no matches. When there are only partial matches, the API stops the appropriate transforms.

If it is false, the request returns a 404 status code when there are no matches or only partial matches. force (Optional, boolean): If it is true, the API forcefully stops the transforms. timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Period to wait for a response when wait_for_completion is true. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request returns a timeout exception. However, the request continues processing and eventually moves the transform to a STOPPED state. wait_for_checkpoint (Optional, boolean): If it is true, the transform does not completely stop until the current checkpoint is completed. If it is false, the transform stops as soon as possible. wait_for_completion (Optional, boolean): If it is true, the API blocks until the indexer state completely stops. If it is false, the API returns immediately and the indexer is stopped asynchronously in the background.

update_transform

edit

Update a transform. Updates certain properties of a transform.

All updated properties except description do not take effect until after the transform starts the next checkpoint, thus there is data consistency in each checkpoint. To use this API, you must have read and view_index_metadata privileges for the source indices. You must also have index and read privileges for the destination index. When Elasticsearch security features are enabled, the transform remembers which roles the user who updated it had at the time of update and runs with those privileges.

Endpoint documentation

client.transform.updateTransform({ transform_id })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • transform_id (string): Identifier for the transform.

    • retention_policy (Optional, { time } | null): Defines a retention policy for the transform. Data that meets the defined criteria is deleted from the destination index.
    • defer_validation (Optional, boolean): When true, deferrable validations are not run. This behavior may be desired if the source index does not exist until after the transform is created.
    • timeout (Optional, string | -1 | 0): Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

upgrade_transforms

edit

Upgrades all transforms. This API identifies transforms that have a legacy configuration format and upgrades them to the latest version. It also cleans up the internal data structures that store the transform state and checkpoints. The upgrade does not affect the source and destination indices. The upgrade also does not affect the roles that transforms use when Elasticsearch security features are enabled; the role used to read source data and write to the destination index remains unchanged.

Endpoint documentation

client.transform.upgradeTransforms({ ... })

Arguments

edit

  • Request (object):

    • dry_run (Optional, boolean): When true, the request checks for updates but does not run them.
