Delete datafeeds API

edit

Deletes an existing datafeed.

Request

edit

DELETE _ml/datafeeds/<feed_id>

Prerequisites

edit
  • Unless you use the force parameter, you must stop the datafeed before you can delete it.
  • If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have manage_ml or manage cluster privileges to use this API. See Security privileges and Machine learning security privileges.

Path parameters

edit
<feed_id>
(Required, 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.

Query parameters

Examples
