Authentication

The API accepts 3 different authentication methods:

Api key auth (http_api_key)

Elasticsearch APIs support key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example:

curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"

To get API keys, use the /_security/api_key APIs.

Basic auth (http)

Basic auth tokens are constructed with the Basic keyword, followed by a space, followed by a base64-encoded string of your username:password (separated by a : colon).

Example: send a Authorization: Basic aGVsbG86aGVsbG8= HTTP header with your requests to authenticate with the API.

Bearer auth (http)

Elasticsearch APIs support the use of bearer tokens in the Authorization HTTP header to authenticate with the API. For examples, refer to Token-based authentication services
















































































































Get datafeeds Added in 7.7.0

GET /_cat/ml/datafeeds/{datafeed_id}

Get configuration and usage information about datafeeds. This API returns a maximum of 10,000 datafeeds. If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have monitor_ml, monitor, manage_ml, or manage cluster privileges to use this API.

IMPORTANT: CAT APIs are only intended for human consumption using the Kibana console or command line. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the get datafeed statistics API.

Path parameters

    • model.categorization_status (or mcs, modelCategorizationStatus): The status of categorization for the job: ok or warn. If ok, categorization is performing acceptably well (or not being used at all). If warn, categorization is detecting a distribution of categories that suggests the input data is inappropriate for categorization. Problems could be that there is only one category, more than 90% of categories are rare, the number of categories is greater than 50% of the number of categorized documents, there are no frequently matched categories, or more than 50% of categories are dead.
    • model.categorized_doc_count (or mcdc, modelCategorizedDocCount): The number of documents that have had a field categorized.
    • model.dead_category_count (or mdcc, modelDeadCategoryCount): The number of categories created by categorization that will never be assigned again because another category’s definition makes it a superset of the dead category. Dead categories are a side effect of the way categorization has no prior training.
    • model.failed_category_count (or mdcc, modelFailedCategoryCount): The number of times that categorization wanted to create a new category but couldn’t because the job had hit its model memory limit. This count does not track which specific categories failed to be created. Therefore, you cannot use this value to determine the number of unique categories that were missed.

    • model.memory_status (or mms, modelMemoryStatus): The status of the mathematical models: ok, soft_limit, or hard_limit. If ok, the models stayed below the configured value. If soft_limit, the models used more than 60% of the configured memory limit and older unused models will be pruned to free up space. Additionally, in categorization jobs no further category examples will be stored. If hard_limit, the models used more space than the configured memory limit. As a result, not all incoming data was processed.
    • model.over_fields (or mof, modelOverFields): The number of over field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.
    • model.partition_fields (or mpf, modelPartitionFields): The number of partition field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • opened_time (or ot): For open jobs only, the elapsed time for which the job has been open.
    • state (or s): The status of the anomaly detection job: closed, closing, failed, opened, or opening. If closed, the job finished successfully with its model state persisted. The job must be opened before it can accept further data. If closing, the job close action is in progress and has not yet completed. A closing job cannot accept further data. If failed, the job did not finish successfully due to an error. This situation can occur due to invalid input data, a fatal error occurring during the analysis, or an external interaction such as the process being killed by the Linux out of memory (OOM) killer. If the job had irrevocably failed, it must be force closed and then deleted. If the datafeed can be corrected, the job can be closed and then re-opened. If opened, the job is available to receive and process data. If opening, the job open action is in progress and has not yet completed.

    • The number of input documents that have been processed by the anomaly detection job. This value includes documents with missing fields, since they are nonetheless analyzed. If you use datafeeds and have aggregations in your search query, the processed_record_count is the number of aggregation results processed, not the number of Elasticsearch documents.

    • The total number of fields in all the documents that have been processed by the anomaly detection job. Only fields that are specified in the detector configuration object contribute to this count. The timestamp is not included in this count.

    • The number of input documents posted to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total number of fields in input documents posted to the anomaly detection job. This count includes fields that are not used in the analysis. However, be aware that if you are using a datafeed, it extracts only the required fields from the documents it retrieves before posting them to the job.

    • The number of input documents with either a missing date field or a date that could not be parsed.

    • The number of input documents that are missing a field that the anomaly detection job is configured to analyze. Input documents with missing fields are still processed because it is possible that not all fields are missing. If you are using datafeeds or posting data to the job in JSON format, a high missing_field_count is often not an indication of data issues. It is not necessarily a cause for concern.

    • The number of input documents that have a timestamp chronologically preceding the start of the current anomaly detection bucket offset by the latency window. This information is applicable only when you provide data to the anomaly detection job by using the post data API. These out of order documents are discarded, since jobs require time series data to be in ascending chronological order.

    • The number of buckets which did not contain any data. If your data contains many empty buckets, consider increasing your bucket_span or using functions that are tolerant to gaps in data such as mean, non_null_sum or non_zero_count.

    • The number of buckets that contained few data points compared to the expected number of data points. If your data contains many sparse buckets, consider using a longer bucket_span.

    • The total number of buckets processed.

    • The timestamp of the earliest chronologically input document.

    • The timestamp of the latest chronologically input document.

    • The timestamp at which data was last analyzed, according to server time.

    • The timestamp of the last bucket that did not contain any data.

    • The timestamp of the last bucket that was considered sparse.

    • Values are ok, soft_limit, or hard_limit.

    • The upper limit for model memory usage, checked on increasing values.

    • The number of by field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of over field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of partition field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of buckets for which new entities in incoming data were not processed due to insufficient model memory. This situation is also signified by a hard_limit: memory_status property value.

    • Values are ok or warn.

    • The number of documents that have had a field categorized.

    • The number of categories created by categorization.

    • The number of categories that match more than 1% of categorized documents.

    • The number of categories that match just one categorized document.

    • The number of categories created by categorization that will never be assigned again because another category’s definition makes it a superset of the dead category. Dead categories are a side effect of the way categorization has no prior training.

    • The number of times that categorization wanted to create a new category but couldn’t because the job had hit its model_memory_limit. This count does not track which specific categories failed to be created. Therefore you cannot use this value to determine the number of unique categories that were missed.

    • The timestamp when the model stats were gathered, according to server time.

    • The timestamp of the last record when the model stats were gathered.

    • The number of individual forecasts currently available for the job. A value of one or more indicates that forecasts exist.

    • The minimum memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The maximum memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

Get segment information

GET /_cat/segments

Get low-level information about the Lucene segments in index shards. For data streams, the API returns information about the backing indices. IMPORTANT: cat APIs are only intended for human consumption using the command line or Kibana console. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the index segments API.

Query parameters

  • bytes string

    The unit used to display byte values.

    Values are b, kb, mb, gb, tb, or pb.

  • h string | array[string]

    List of columns to appear in the response. Supports simple wildcards.

  • s string | array[string]

    List of columns that determine how the table should be sorted. Sorting defaults to ascending and can be changed by setting :asc or :desc as a suffix to the column name.

  • local boolean

    If true, the request computes the list of selected nodes from the local cluster state. If false the list of selected nodes are computed from the cluster state of the master node. In both cases the coordinating node will send requests for further information to each selected node.

  • Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

Responses

  • 200 application/json
    Hide response attributes Show response attributes object
    • index string
    • shard string

      The shard name.

    • prirep string

      The shard type: primary or replica.

    • ip string

      The IP address of the node where it lives.

    • id string
    • segment string

      The segment name, which is derived from the segment generation and used internally to create file names in the directory of the shard.

    • The segment generation number. Elasticsearch increments this generation number for each segment written then uses this number to derive the segment name.

    • The number of documents in the segment. This excludes deleted documents and counts any nested documents separately from their parents. It also excludes documents which were indexed recently and do not yet belong to a segment.

    • The number of deleted documents in the segment, which might be higher or lower than the number of delete operations you have performed. This number excludes deletes that were performed recently and do not yet belong to a segment. Deleted documents are cleaned up by the automatic merge process if it makes sense to do so. Also, Elasticsearch creates extra deleted documents to internally track the recent history of operations on a shard.

    • If true, the segment is synced to disk. Segments that are synced can survive a hard reboot. If false, the data from uncommitted segments is also stored in the transaction log so that Elasticsearch is able to replay changes on the next start.

    • If true, the segment is searchable. If false, the segment has most likely been written to disk but needs a refresh to be searchable.

    • version string
    • compound string

      If true, the segment is stored in a compound file. This means Lucene merged all files from the segment in a single file to save file descriptors.

Get the cluster state Added in 1.3.0

GET /_cluster/state/{metric}

Get comprehensive information about the state of the cluster.

The cluster state is an internal data structure which keeps track of a variety of information needed by every node, including the identity and attributes of the other nodes in the cluster; cluster-wide settings; index metadata, including the mapping and settings for each index; the location and status of every shard copy in the cluster.

The elected master node ensures that every node in the cluster has a copy of the same cluster state. This API lets you retrieve a representation of this internal state for debugging or diagnostic purposes. You may need to consult the Elasticsearch source code to determine the precise meaning of the response.

By default the API will route requests to the elected master node since this node is the authoritative source of cluster states. You can also retrieve the cluster state held on the node handling the API request by adding the ?local=true query parameter.

Elasticsearch may need to expend significant effort to compute a response to this API in larger clusters, and the response may comprise a very large quantity of data. If you use this API repeatedly, your cluster may become unstable.

WARNING: The response is a representation of an internal data structure. Its format is not subject to the same compatibility guarantees as other more stable APIs and may change from version to version. Do not query this API using external monitoring tools. Instead, obtain the information you require using other more stable cluster APIs.

Path parameters

  • metric string | array[string] Required

    Limit the information returned to the specified metrics

Query parameters

  • Whether to ignore if a wildcard indices expression resolves into no concrete indices. (This includes _all string or when no indices have been specified)

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Whether to expand wildcard expression to concrete indices that are open, closed or both.

    Supported values include:

    • all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
    • open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
    • 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 expressions are not accepted.
  • Return settings in flat format (default: false)

  • Whether specified concrete indices should be ignored when unavailable (missing or closed)

  • local boolean

    Return local information, do not retrieve the state from master node (default: false)

  • Specify timeout for connection to master

  • Wait for the metadata version to be equal or greater than the specified metadata version

  • The maximum time to wait for wait_for_metadata_version before timing out

Get the cluster health Added in 8.7.0

GET /_health_report

Get a report with the health status of an Elasticsearch cluster. The report contains a list of indicators that compose Elasticsearch functionality.

Each indicator has a health status of: green, unknown, yellow or red. The indicator will provide an explanation and metadata describing the reason for its current health status.

The cluster’s status is controlled by the worst indicator status.

In the event that an indicator’s status is non-green, a list of impacts may be present in the indicator result which detail the functionalities that are negatively affected by the health issue. Each impact carries with it a severity level, an area of the system that is affected, and a simple description of the impact on the system.

Some health indicators can determine the root cause of a health problem and prescribe a set of steps that can be performed in order to improve the health of the system. The root cause and remediation steps are encapsulated in a diagnosis. A diagnosis contains a cause detailing a root cause analysis, an action containing a brief description of the steps to take to fix the problem, the list of affected resources (if applicable), and a detailed step-by-step troubleshooting guide to fix the diagnosed problem.

NOTE: The health indicators perform root cause analysis of non-green health statuses. This can be computationally expensive when called frequently. When setting up automated polling of the API for health status, set verbose to false to disable the more expensive analysis logic.

Query parameters

  • timeout string

    Explicit operation timeout.

  • verbose boolean

    Opt-in for more information about the health of the system.

  • size number

    Limit the number of affected resources the health report API returns.

Run multiple Fleet searches Technical preview

GET /_fleet/_fleet_msearch

Run several Fleet searches with a single API request. The API follows the same structure as the multi search API. However, similar to the Fleet search API, it supports the wait_for_checkpoints parameter.

Query parameters

  • 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.

  • If true, network roundtrips between the coordinating node and remote clusters are minimized for cross-cluster search requests.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Type of index that wildcard expressions can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams.

    Supported values include:

    • all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
    • open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
    • 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 expressions are not accepted.
  • If true, concrete, expanded or aliased indices are ignored when frozen.

  • If true, missing or closed indices are not included in the response.

  • Maximum number of concurrent searches the multi search API can execute.

  • Maximum number of concurrent shard requests that each sub-search request executes per node.

  • 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.

  • Indicates whether global term and document frequencies should be used when scoring returned documents.

    Supported values include:

    • query_then_fetch: Documents are scored using local term and document frequencies for the shard. This is usually faster but less accurate.
    • dfs_query_then_fetch: Documents are scored using global term and document frequencies across all shards. This is usually slower but more accurate.

    Values are query_then_fetch or dfs_query_then_fetch.

  • If true, hits.total are returned as an integer in the response. Defaults to false, which returns an object.

  • typed_keys boolean

    Specifies whether aggregation and suggester names should be prefixed by their respective types in the response.

  • 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.

  • If true, returns partial results if there are shard request timeouts or 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.

Import a dangling index Added in 7.9.0

POST /_dangling/{index_uuid}

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.

Path parameters

  • index_uuid string Required

    The UUID of the index to import. Use the get dangling indices API to locate the UUID.

Query parameters

  • accept_data_loss boolean Required

    This parameter must be set to true to import a dangling index. Because Elasticsearch cannot know where the dangling index data came from or determine which shard copies are fresh and which are stale, it cannot guarantee that the imported data represents the latest state of the index when it was last in the cluster.

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of data streams or indices to add. Supports wildcards (*). Wildcard patterns that match both data streams and indices return an error.

  • name string Required

    Alias to update. If the alias doesn’t exist, the request creates it. Index alias names support date math.

Query parameters

  • 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 string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

application/json

Body

  • filter object

    An Elasticsearch Query DSL (Domain Specific Language) object that defines a query.

    External documentation
  • If true, sets the write index or data stream for the alias. If an alias points to multiple indices or data streams and is_write_index isn’t set, the alias rejects write requests. If an index alias points to one index and is_write_index isn’t set, the index automatically acts as the write index. Data stream aliases don’t automatically set a write data stream, even if the alias points to one data stream.

Create or update an index template Added in 7.9.0

POST /_index_template/{name}

Index templates define settings, mappings, and aliases that can be applied automatically to new indices.

Elasticsearch applies templates to new indices based on an wildcard pattern that matches the index name. Index templates are applied during data stream or index creation. For data streams, these settings and mappings are applied when the stream's backing indices are created. Settings and mappings specified in a create index API request override any settings or mappings specified in an index template. Changes to index templates do not affect existing indices, including the existing backing indices of a data stream.

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

Multiple matching templates

If multiple index templates match the name of a new index or data stream, the template with the highest priority is used.

Multiple templates with overlapping index patterns at the same priority are not allowed and an error will be thrown when attempting to create a template matching an existing index template at identical priorities.

Composing aliases, mappings, and settings

When multiple component templates are specified in the composed_of field for an index template, they are merged in the order specified, meaning that later component templates override earlier component templates. Any mappings, settings, or aliases from the parent index template are merged in next. Finally, any configuration on the index request itself is merged. Mapping definitions are merged recursively, which means that later mapping components can introduce new field mappings and update the mapping configuration. If a field mapping is already contained in an earlier component, its definition will be completely overwritten by the later one. This recursive merging strategy applies not only to field mappings, but also root options like dynamic_templates and meta. If an earlier component contains a dynamic_templates block, then by default new dynamic_templates entries are appended onto the end. If an entry already exists with the same key, then it is overwritten by the new definition.

Path parameters

  • name string Required

    Index or template name

Query parameters

        • If specified, this is the timestamp used to calculate the index age for its phase transitions. Use this setting if you create a new index that contains old data and want to use the original creation date to calculate the index age. Specified as a Unix epoch value in milliseconds.

        • Set to true to parse the origination date from the index name. This origination date is used to calculate the index age for its phase transitions. The index name must match the pattern .*-{date_format}-\d+, where the date_format is yyyy.MM.dd and the trailing digits are optional. An index that was rolled over would normally match the full format, for example logs-2016.10.31-000002). If the index name doesn’t match the pattern, index creation fails.

        Hide mapping attributes Show mapping attributes object
        • coerce boolean
        • Hide total_fields attributes Show total_fields attributes object
          • limit number | string

            The maximum number of fields in an index. Field and object mappings, as well as field aliases count towards this limit. The limit is in place to prevent mappings and searches from becoming too large. Higher values can lead to performance degradations and memory issues, especially in clusters with a high load or few resources.

          • ignore_dynamic_beyond_limit boolean | string

            This setting determines what happens when a dynamically mapped field would exceed the total fields limit. When set to false (the default), the index request of the document that tries to add a dynamic field to the mapping will fail with the message Limit of total fields [X] has been exceeded. When set to true, the index request will not fail. Instead, fields that would exceed the limit are not added to the mapping, similar to dynamic: false. The fields that were not added to the mapping will be added to the _ignored field.

        • depth object
          Hide depth attribute Show depth attribute object
          • limit number

            The maximum depth for a field, which is measured as the number of inner objects. For instance, if all fields are defined at the root object level, then the depth is 1. If there is one object mapping, then the depth is 2, etc.

        • Hide nested_fields attribute Show nested_fields attribute object
          • limit number

            The maximum number of distinct nested mappings in an index. The nested type should only be used in special cases, when arrays of objects need to be queried independently of each other. To safeguard against poorly designed mappings, this setting limits the number of unique nested types per index.

        • Hide nested_objects attribute Show nested_objects attribute object
          • limit number

            The maximum number of nested JSON objects that a single document can contain across all nested types. This limit helps to prevent out of memory errors when a document contains too many nested objects.

        • Hide field_name_length attribute Show field_name_length attribute object
          • limit number

            Setting for the maximum length of a field name. This setting isn’t really something that addresses mappings explosion but might still be useful if you want to limit the field length. It usually shouldn’t be necessary to set this setting. The default is okay unless a user starts to add a huge number of fields with really long names. Default is Long.MAX_VALUE (no limit).

        • allow_mmap boolean

          You can restrict the use of the mmapfs and the related hybridfs store type via the setting node.store.allow_mmap. This is a boolean setting indicating whether or not memory-mapping is allowed. The default is to allow it. This setting is useful, for example, if you are in an environment where you can not control the ability to create a lot of memory maps so you need disable the ability to use memory-mapping.

  • Hide data_stream attributes Show data_stream attributes object
  • priority number

    Priority to determine index template precedence when a new data stream or index is created. The index template with the highest priority is chosen.

  • This setting overrides the value of the action.auto_create_index cluster setting. If set to true in a template, then indices can be automatically created using that template even if auto-creation of indices is disabled via actions.auto_create_index. If set to false, then indices or data streams matching the template must always be explicitly created, and may never be automatically created.

  • The configuration option ignore_missing_component_templates can be used when an index template references a component template that might not exist

Open a closed index

POST /{index}/_open

For data streams, the API opens any closed backing indices.

A closed index is blocked for read/write operations and does not allow all operations that opened indices allow. It is not possible to index documents or to search for documents in a closed index. This allows closed indices to not have to maintain internal data structures for indexing or searching documents, resulting in a smaller overhead on the cluster.

When opening or closing an index, the master is responsible for restarting the index shards to reflect the new state of the index. The shards will then go through the normal recovery process. The data of opened or closed indices is automatically replicated by the cluster to ensure that enough shard copies are safely kept around at all times.

You can open and close multiple indices. An error is thrown if the request explicitly refers to a missing index. This behavior can be turned off by using the ignore_unavailable=true parameter.

By default, you must explicitly name the indices you are opening or closing. To open or close indices with _all, *, or other wildcard expressions, change the action.destructive_requires_name setting to false. This setting can also be changed with the cluster update settings API.

Closed indices consume a significant amount of disk-space which can cause problems in managed environments. Closing indices can be turned off with the cluster settings API by setting cluster.indices.close.enable to false.

Because opening or closing an index allocates its shards, the wait_for_active_shards setting on index creation applies to the _open and _close index actions as well.

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request. Supports wildcards (*). By default, you must explicitly name the indices you using to limit the request. To limit a request using _all, *, or other wildcard expressions, change the action.destructive_requires_name setting to false. You can update this setting in the elasticsearch.yml file or using the cluster update settings API.

Query parameters

  • 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.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    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 comma-separated values, such as open,hidden. Valid values are: all, open, closed, hidden, none.

    Supported values include:

    • all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
    • open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
    • 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 expressions are not accepted.
  • If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index.

  • 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 string

    Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  • wait_for_active_shards number | string

    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).

    • query object

      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. By default, this property has the following value: {"match_all": {}}.

      Query DSL
  • dest object
    Hide dest attributes Show dest attributes object
    • index string Required
    • Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

  • analysis object
    Hide analysis attributes Show analysis attributes object
    • Hide classification attributes Show classification attributes object
      • alpha number

        Advanced configuration option. Machine learning uses loss guided tree growing, which means that the decision trees grow where the regularized loss decreases most quickly. This parameter affects loss calculations by acting as a multiplier of the tree depth. Higher alpha values result in shallower trees and faster training times. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be greater than or equal to zero.

      • dependent_variable string Required

        Defines which field of the document is to be predicted. It must match one of the fields in the index being used to train. If this field is missing from a document, then that document will not be used for training, but a prediction with the trained model will be generated for it. It is also known as continuous target variable. For classification analysis, the data type of the field must be numeric (integer, short, long, byte), categorical (ip or keyword), or boolean. There must be no more than 30 different values in this field. For regression analysis, the data type of the field must be numeric.

      • Advanced configuration option. Controls the fraction of data that is used to compute the derivatives of the loss function for tree training. A small value results in the use of a small fraction of the data. If this value is set to be less than 1, accuracy typically improves. However, too small a value may result in poor convergence for the ensemble and so require more trees. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be greater than zero and less than or equal to 1.

      • Advanced configuration option. Specifies whether the training process should finish if it is not finding any better performing models. If disabled, the training process can take significantly longer and the chance of finding a better performing model is unremarkable.

      • eta number

        Advanced configuration option. The shrinkage applied to the weights. Smaller values result in larger forests which have a better generalization error. However, larger forests cause slower training. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be a value between 0.001 and 1.

      • Advanced configuration option. Specifies the rate at which eta increases for each new tree that is added to the forest. For example, a rate of 1.05 increases eta by 5% for each extra tree. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be between 0.5 and 2.

      • Advanced configuration option. Defines the fraction of features that will be used when selecting a random bag for each candidate split. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization.

      • feature_processors array[object]

        Advanced configuration option. A collection of feature preprocessors that modify one or more included fields. The analysis uses the resulting one or more features instead of the original document field. However, these features are ephemeral; they are not stored in the destination index. Multiple feature_processors entries can refer to the same document fields. Automatic categorical feature encoding still occurs for the fields that are unprocessed by a custom processor or that have categorical values. Use this property only if you want to override the automatic feature encoding of the specified fields.

        Hide feature_processors attributes Show feature_processors attributes object
        • Hide frequency_encoding attributes Show frequency_encoding attributes object
          • feature_name string Required
          • field string Required

            Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

          • frequency_map object Required

            The resulting frequency map for the field value. If the field value is missing from the frequency_map, the resulting value is 0.

        • Hide multi_encoding attribute Show multi_encoding attribute object
          • processors array[number] Required

            The ordered array of custom processors to execute. Must be more than 1.

        • Hide n_gram_encoding attributes Show n_gram_encoding attributes object
          • The feature name prefix. Defaults to ngram__.

          • field string Required

            Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

          • length number

            Specifies the length of the n-gram substring. Defaults to 50. Must be greater than 0.

          • n_grams array[number] Required

            Specifies which n-grams to gather. It’s an array of integer values where the minimum value is 1, and a maximum value is 5.

          • start number

            Specifies the zero-indexed start of the n-gram substring. Negative values are allowed for encoding n-grams of string suffixes. Defaults to 0.

          • custom boolean
        • Hide one_hot_encoding attributes Show one_hot_encoding attributes object
          • field string Required

            Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

          • hot_map string Required

            The one hot map mapping the field value with the column name.

        • Hide target_mean_encoding attributes Show target_mean_encoding attributes object
          • default_value number Required

            The default value if field value is not found in the target_map.

          • feature_name string Required
          • field string Required

            Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

          • target_map object Required

            The field value to target mean transition map.

      • gamma number

        Advanced configuration option. Regularization parameter to prevent overfitting on the training data set. Multiplies a linear penalty associated with the size of individual trees in the forest. A high gamma value causes training to prefer small trees. A small gamma value results in larger individual trees and slower training. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be a nonnegative value.

      • lambda number

        Advanced configuration option. Regularization parameter to prevent overfitting on the training data set. Multiplies an L2 regularization term which applies to leaf weights of the individual trees in the forest. A high lambda value causes training to favor small leaf weights. This behavior makes the prediction function smoother at the expense of potentially not being able to capture relevant relationships between the features and the dependent variable. A small lambda value results in large individual trees and slower training. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be a nonnegative value.

      • Advanced configuration option. A multiplier responsible for determining the maximum number of hyperparameter optimization steps in the Bayesian optimization procedure. The maximum number of steps is determined based on the number of undefined hyperparameters times the maximum optimization rounds per hyperparameter. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization.

      • Advanced configuration option. Defines the maximum number of decision trees in the forest. The maximum value is 2000. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization.

      • Advanced configuration option. Specifies the maximum number of feature importance values per document to return. By default, no feature importance calculation occurs.

      • Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

      • Defines the seed for the random generator that is used to pick training data. By default, it is randomly generated. Set it to a specific value to use the same training data each time you start a job (assuming other related parameters such as source and analyzed_fields are the same).

      • Advanced configuration option. Machine learning uses loss guided tree growing, which means that the decision trees grow where the regularized loss decreases most quickly. This soft limit combines with the soft_tree_depth_tolerance to penalize trees that exceed the specified depth; the regularized loss increases quickly beyond this depth. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be greater than or equal to 0.

      • Advanced configuration option. This option controls how quickly the regularized loss increases when the tree depth exceeds soft_tree_depth_limit. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be greater than or equal to 0.01.

      • Defines the number of categories for which the predicted probabilities are reported. It must be non-negative or -1. If it is -1 or greater than the total number of categories, probabilities are reported for all categories; if you have a large number of categories, there could be a significant effect on the size of your destination index. NOTE: To use the AUC ROC evaluation method, num_top_classes must be set to -1 or a value greater than or equal to the total number of categories.

    • Hide outlier_detection attributes Show outlier_detection attributes object
      • Specifies whether the feature influence calculation is enabled.

      • The minimum outlier score that a document needs to have in order to calculate its feature influence score. Value range: 0-1.

      • method string

        The method that outlier detection uses. Available methods are lof, ldof, distance_kth_nn, distance_knn, and ensemble. The default value is ensemble, which means that outlier detection uses an ensemble of different methods and normalises and combines their individual outlier scores to obtain the overall outlier score.

      • Defines the value for how many nearest neighbors each method of outlier detection uses to calculate its outlier score. When the value is not set, different values are used for different ensemble members. This default behavior helps improve the diversity in the ensemble; only override it if you are confident that the value you choose is appropriate for the data set.

      • The proportion of the data set that is assumed to be outlying prior to outlier detection. For example, 0.05 means it is assumed that 5% of values are real outliers and 95% are inliers.

      • If true, the following operation is performed on the columns before computing outlier scores: (x_i - mean(x_i)) / sd(x_i).

    • Hide regression attributes Show regression attributes object
      • alpha number

        Advanced configuration option. Machine learning uses loss guided tree growing, which means that the decision trees grow where the regularized loss decreases most quickly. This parameter affects loss calculations by acting as a multiplier of the tree depth. Higher alpha values result in shallower trees and faster training times. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be greater than or equal to zero.

      • dependent_variable string Required

        Defines which field of the document is to be predicted. It must match one of the fields in the index being used to train. If this field is missing from a document, then that document will not be used for training, but a prediction with the trained model will be generated for it. It is also known as continuous target variable. For classification analysis, the data type of the field must be numeric (integer, short, long, byte), categorical (ip or keyword), or boolean. There must be no more than 30 different values in this field. For regression analysis, the data type of the field must be numeric.

      • Advanced configuration option. Controls the fraction of data that is used to compute the derivatives of the loss function for tree training. A small value results in the use of a small fraction of the data. If this value is set to be less than 1, accuracy typically improves. However, too small a value may result in poor convergence for the ensemble and so require more trees. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be greater than zero and less than or equal to 1.

      • Advanced configuration option. Specifies whether the training process should finish if it is not finding any better performing models. If disabled, the training process can take significantly longer and the chance of finding a better performing model is unremarkable.

      • eta number

        Advanced configuration option. The shrinkage applied to the weights. Smaller values result in larger forests which have a better generalization error. However, larger forests cause slower training. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be a value between 0.001 and 1.

      • Advanced configuration option. Specifies the rate at which eta increases for each new tree that is added to the forest. For example, a rate of 1.05 increases eta by 5% for each extra tree. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be between 0.5 and 2.

      • Advanced configuration option. Defines the fraction of features that will be used when selecting a random bag for each candidate split. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization.

      • feature_processors array[object]

        Advanced configuration option. A collection of feature preprocessors that modify one or more included fields. The analysis uses the resulting one or more features instead of the original document field. However, these features are ephemeral; they are not stored in the destination index. Multiple feature_processors entries can refer to the same document fields. Automatic categorical feature encoding still occurs for the fields that are unprocessed by a custom processor or that have categorical values. Use this property only if you want to override the automatic feature encoding of the specified fields.

          • feature_name string Required
          • field string Required

            Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

          • frequency_map object Required

            The resulting frequency map for the field value. If the field value is missing from the frequency_map, the resulting value is 0.

        • Hide multi_encoding attribute Show multi_encoding attribute object
          • processors array[number] Required

            The ordered array of custom processors to execute. Must be more than 1.

          • length number

            Specifies the length of the n-gram substring. Defaults to 50. Must be greater than 0.

          • n_grams array[number] Required

            Specifies which n-grams to gather. It’s an array of integer values where the minimum value is 1, and a maximum value is 5.

          • start number

            Specifies the zero-indexed start of the n-gram substring. Negative values are allowed for encoding n-grams of string suffixes. Defaults to 0.

          • custom boolean
        • Hide one_hot_encoding attributes Show one_hot_encoding attributes object
          • field string Required

            Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

          • field string Required

            Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

          • target_map object Required

            The field value to target mean transition map.

      • gamma number

        Advanced configuration option. Regularization parameter to prevent overfitting on the training data set. Multiplies a linear penalty associated with the size of individual trees in the forest. A high gamma value causes training to prefer small trees. A small gamma value results in larger individual trees and slower training. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be a nonnegative value.

      • lambda number

        Advanced configuration option. Regularization parameter to prevent overfitting on the training data set. Multiplies an L2 regularization term which applies to leaf weights of the individual trees in the forest. A high lambda value causes training to favor small leaf weights. This behavior makes the prediction function smoother at the expense of potentially not being able to capture relevant relationships between the features and the dependent variable. A small lambda value results in large individual trees and slower training. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be a nonnegative value.

      • Advanced configuration option. A multiplier responsible for determining the maximum number of hyperparameter optimization steps in the Bayesian optimization procedure. The maximum number of steps is determined based on the number of undefined hyperparameters times the maximum optimization rounds per hyperparameter. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization.

      • Advanced configuration option. Defines the maximum number of decision trees in the forest. The maximum value is 2000. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization.

      • Advanced configuration option. Specifies the maximum number of feature importance values per document to return. By default, no feature importance calculation occurs.

      • Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.

      • Defines the seed for the random generator that is used to pick training data. By default, it is randomly generated. Set it to a specific value to use the same training data each time you start a job (assuming other related parameters such as source and analyzed_fields are the same).

      • Advanced configuration option. Machine learning uses loss guided tree growing, which means that the decision trees grow where the regularized loss decreases most quickly. This soft limit combines with the soft_tree_depth_tolerance to penalize trees that exceed the specified depth; the regularized loss increases quickly beyond this depth. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be greater than or equal to 0.

      • Advanced configuration option. This option controls how quickly the regularized loss increases when the tree depth exceeds soft_tree_depth_limit. By default, this value is calculated during hyperparameter optimization. It must be greater than or equal to 0.01.

      • The loss function used during regression. Available options are mse (mean squared error), msle (mean squared logarithmic error), huber (Pseudo-Huber loss).

      • A positive number that is used as a parameter to the loss_function.

  • A description of the job.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hide analyzed_fields attributes Show analyzed_fields attributes object
    • includes array[string]

      An array of strings that defines the fields that will be excluded from the analysis. You do not need to add fields with unsupported data types to excludes, these fields are excluded from the analysis automatically.

    • excludes array[string]

      An array of strings that defines the fields that will be included in the analysis.

  • Specifies whether this job can start when there is insufficient machine learning node capacity for it to be immediately assigned to a node.

Start a data frame analytics job Added in 7.3.0

POST /_ml/data_frame/analytics/{id}/_start

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.

Path parameters

  • id string Required

    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.

Query parameters

  • timeout string

    Controls the amount of time to wait until the data frame analytics job starts.
