Get the rollup job capabilities Deprecated Technical preview

GET /_rollup/data
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Get the capabilities of any rollup jobs that have been configured for a specific index or index pattern.

This API is useful because a rollup job is often configured to rollup only a subset of fields from the source index. Furthermore, only certain aggregations can be configured for various fields, leading to a limited subset of functionality depending on that configuration. This API enables you to inspect an index and determine:

  1. Does this index have associated rollup data somewhere in the cluster?
  2. If yes to the first question, what fields were rolled up, what aggregations can be performed, and where does the data live?

        There can be multiple, independent jobs configured for a single index or index pattern. Each of these jobs may have different configurations, so the API returns a list of all the various configurations available.

Response examples (200)
A successful response from `GET _rollup/data/sensor-*` for a rollup job that targets the index pattern `sensor-*`. The response contains the rollup job ID, the index that holds the rolled data, and the index pattern that the job was targeting. It also shows a list of fields that contain data eligible for rollup searches. For example, you can use a `min`, `max`, or `sum` aggregation on the `temperature` field, but only a `date_histogram` on `timestamp`.
