Get the autoscaling capacity Added in 7.11.0

GET /_autoscaling/capacity
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

NOTE: 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.

Reset the features Technical preview

POST /_features/_reset
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Clear all of the state information stored in system indices by Elasticsearch features, including the security and machine learning indices.

WARNING: Intended for development and testing use only. Do not reset features on a production cluster.

Return a cluster to the same state as a new installation by resetting the feature state for all Elasticsearch features. This deletes all state information stored in system indices.

The response code is HTTP 200 if the state is successfully reset for all features. It is HTTP 500 if the reset operation failed for any feature.

Note that select features might provide a way to reset particular system indices. Using this API resets all features, both those that are built-in and implemented as plugins.

To list the features that will be affected, use the get features API.

IMPORTANT: The features installed on the node you submit this request to are the features that will be reset. Run on the master node if you have any doubts about which plugins are installed on individual nodes.

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Run multiple Fleet searches Technical preview

GET /_fleet/_fleet_msearch
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

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

  • allow_no_indices 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 boolean

    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.

    Values are all, open, closed, hidden, or none.

  • ignore_throttled boolean

    If true, concrete, expanded or aliased indices are ignored when frozen.

  • ignore_unavailable boolean

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

  • max_concurrent_searches number

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

  • max_concurrent_shard_requests number

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

  • pre_filter_shard_size 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 string

    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.

  • rest_total_hits_as_int boolean

    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.

  • wait_for_checkpoints array[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 boolean

    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.

Add an index block Added in 7.9.0

PUT /{index}/_block/{block}
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Add an index block to an index. Index blocks limit the operations allowed on an index by blocking specific operation types.

Path parameters

  • index string Required

    A comma-separated list or wildcard expression of index names used to limit the request. By default, you must explicitly name the indices you are adding blocks to. To allow the adding of blocks to indices with _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 by using the cluster update settings API.

  • block string Required

    The block type to add to the index.

    Supported values include:

    • metadata: Disable metadata changes, such as closing the index.
    • read: Disable read operations.
    • read_only: Disable write operations and metadata changes.
    • write: Disable write operations. However, metadata changes are still allowed.

    Values are metadata, read, read_only, or write.

Query parameters

  • allow_no_indices 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.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    Supported values include:

    • 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 expressions are not accepted.

    Values are all, open, closed, hidden, or none.

  • ignore_unavailable boolean

    If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index.

  • master_timeout string

    The period to wait for the master node. If the master node is not available before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. It can also be set to -1 to indicate that the request should never timeout.

    Values are -1 or 0.

  • timeout string

    The period to wait for a response from all relevant nodes in the cluster after updating the cluster metadata. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the cluster metadata update still applies but the response will indicate that it was not completely acknowledged. It can also be set to -1 to indicate that the request should never timeout.

    Values are -1 or 0.

Update index settings

PUT /_settings
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Changes dynamic index settings in real time. For data streams, index setting changes are applied to all backing indices by default.

To revert a setting to the default value, use a null value. The list of per-index settings that can be updated dynamically on live indices can be found in index module documentation. To preserve existing settings from being updated, set the preserve_existing parameter to true.

NOTE: You can only define new analyzers on closed indices. To add an analyzer, you must close the index, define the analyzer, and reopen the index. You cannot close the write index of a data stream. To update the analyzer for a data stream's write index and future backing indices, update the analyzer in the index template used by the stream. Then roll over the data stream to apply the new analyzer to the stream's write index and future backing indices. This affects searches and any new data added to the stream after the rollover. However, it does not affect the data stream's backing indices or their existing data. To change the analyzer for existing backing indices, you must create a new data stream and reindex your data into it.

Shrink an index Added in 5.0.0

POST /{index}/_shrink/{target}
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Shrink an index into a new index with fewer primary shards.

Before you can shrink an index:

  • The index must be read-only.
  • A copy of every shard in the index must reside on the same node.
  • The index must have a green health status.

To make shard allocation easier, we recommend you also remove the index's replica shards. You can later re-add replica shards as part of the shrink operation.

The requested number of primary shards in the target index must be a factor of the number of shards in the source index. For example an index with 8 primary shards can be shrunk into 4, 2 or 1 primary shards or an index with 15 primary shards can be shrunk into 5, 3 or 1. If the number of shards in the index is a prime number it can only be shrunk into a single primary shard Before shrinking, a (primary or replica) copy of every shard in the index must be present on the same node.

The current write index on a data stream cannot be shrunk. In order to shrink the current write index, the data stream must first be rolled over so that a new write index is created and then the previous write index can be shrunk.

A shrink operation:

  • Creates a new target index with the same definition as the source index, but with a smaller number of primary shards.
  • Hard-links segments from the source index into the target index. If the file system does not support hard-linking, then all segments are copied into the new index, which is a much more time consuming process. Also if using multiple data paths, shards on different data paths require a full copy of segment files if they are not on the same disk since hardlinks do not work across disks.
  • Recovers the target index as though it were a closed index which had just been re-opened. Recovers shards to the .routing.allocation.initial_recovery._id index setting.

IMPORTANT: Indices can only be shrunk if they satisfy the following requirements:

  • The target index must not exist.
  • The source index must have more primary shards than the target index.
  • The number of primary shards in the target index must be a factor of the number of primary shards in the source index. The source index must have more primary shards than the target index.
  • The index must not contain more than 2,147,483,519 documents in total across all shards that will be shrunk into a single shard on the target index as this is the maximum number of docs that can fit into a single shard.
  • The node handling the shrink process must have sufficient free disk space to accommodate a second copy of the existing index.

Path parameters

  • index string Required

    Name of the source index to shrink.

  • target string Required

    Name of the target index to create.

Query parameters

  • master_timeout string

    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.

    • analysis object Required
      Hide analysis attributes Show analysis attributes object
      • classification 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.

        • downsample_factor number

          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.

        • early_stopping_enabled boolean

          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.

        • eta_growth_rate_per_tree number

          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.

        • feature_bag_fraction number

          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
        • 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.

        • max_optimization_rounds_per_hyperparameter number

          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.

        • max_trees number

          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.

        • num_top_feature_importance_values number

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

        • prediction_field_name string

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

        • randomize_seed number

          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).

        • soft_tree_depth_limit 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 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.

        • soft_tree_depth_tolerance number

          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.

        • training_percent string | number

          One of:
          Percentage string Percentage number
        • class_assignment_objective string
        • num_top_classes number

          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.

      • outlier_detection object
        Hide outlier_detection attributes Show outlier_detection attributes object
        • compute_feature_influence boolean

          Specifies whether the feature influence calculation is enabled.

        • feature_influence_threshold number

          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.

        • n_neighbors number

          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.

        • outlier_fraction number

          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.

        • standardization_enabled boolean

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

        • max_trees number

          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.

        • num_top_feature_importance_values number

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

        • prediction_field_name string

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

        • randomize_seed number

          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).

        • soft_tree_depth_limit 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 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.

        • soft_tree_depth_tolerance number

          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.

        • training_percent string | number

          One of:
          Percentage string Percentage number
        • loss_function string

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

        • loss_function_parameter number

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

    • model_memory_limit string
    • max_num_threads number
    • analyzed_fields object
      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.

Query parameters

  • allow_no_match boolean

    Specifies what to do when the request:

    1. Contains wildcard expressions and there are no transforms 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.

    If this parameter is false, the request returns a 404 status code when there are no matches or only partial matches.

  • from number

    Skips the specified number of transforms.

  • size number

    Specifies the maximum number of transforms to obtain.

  • exclude_generated boolean

        • align_checkpoints boolean

          Specifies whether the transform checkpoint ranges should be optimized for performance. Such optimization can align checkpoint ranges with the date histogram interval when date histogram is specified as a group source in the transform config. As a result, less document updates in the destination index will be performed thus improving overall performance.

        • dates_as_epoch_millis boolean

          Defines if dates in the ouput should be written as ISO formatted string or as millis since epoch. epoch_millis was the default for transforms created before version 7.11. For compatible output set this value to true.

        • deduce_mappings boolean

          Specifies whether the transform should deduce the destination index mappings from the transform configuration.

        • docs_per_second number

          Specifies a limit on the number of input documents per second. This setting throttles the transform by adding a wait time between search requests. The default value is null, which disables throttling.

        • max_page_search_size number

          Defines the initial page size to use for the composite aggregation for each checkpoint. If circuit breaker exceptions occur, the page size is dynamically adjusted to a lower value. The minimum value is 10 and the maximum is 65,536.

        • unattended boolean

          If true, the transform runs in unattended mode. In unattended mode, the transform retries indefinitely in case of an error which means the transform never fails. Setting the number of retries other than infinite fails in validation.

Acknowledge a watch

POST /_watcher/watch/{watch_id}/_ack/{action_id}
Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Acknowledging a watch enables you to manually throttle the execution of the watch's actions.

The acknowledgement state of an action is stored in the status.actions.<id>.ack.state structure.

IMPORTANT: If the specified watch is currently being executed, this API will return an error The reason for this behavior is to prevent overwriting the watch status from a watch execution.

Acknowledging an action throttles further executions of that action until its ack.state is reset to awaits_successful_execution. This happens when the condition of the watch is not met (the condition evaluates to false).

Path parameters

  • watch_id string Required

    The watch identifier.

  • action_id string | array[string] Required

    A comma-separated list of the action identifiers to acknowledge. If you omit this parameter, all of the actions of the watch are acknowledged.

      • total number Required

        Total number of nodes selected by the request.

      • successful number Required

        Number of nodes that responded successfully to the request.

      • failed number Required

        Number of nodes that rejected the request or failed to respond. If this value is not 0, a reason for the rejection or failure is included in the response.

    • cluster_name string Required

    • stats array[object] Required
      Hide stats attributes Show stats attributes object
      • current_watches array[object]

        The current executing watches metric gives insight into the watches that are currently being executed by Watcher. Additional information is shared per watch that is currently executing. This information includes the watch_id, the time its execution started and its current execution phase. To include this metric, the metric option should be set to current_watches or _all. In addition you can also specify the emit_stacktraces=true parameter, which adds stack traces for each watch that is being run. These stack traces can give you more insight into an execution of a watch.

      • execution_thread_pool object Required
        Hide execution_thread_pool attributes Show execution_thread_pool attributes object
        • max_size number Required

          The largest size of the execution thread pool, which indicates the largest number of concurrent running watches.

        • queue_size number Required

          The number of watches that were triggered and are currently queued.

      • queued_watches array[object]

        Watcher moderates the execution of watches such that their execution won't put too much pressure on the node and its resources. If too many watches trigger concurrently and there isn't enough capacity to run them all, some of the watches are queued, waiting for the current running watches to finish.s The queued watches metric gives insight on these queued watches.

        To include this metric, the metric option should include queued_watches or _all.

        Hide queued_watches attribute Show queued_watches attribute object
      • watch_count number Required

        The number of watches currently registered.

      • watcher_state string Required
