Reset anomaly detection jobs APIedit

Resets an existing anomaly detection job.

Requestedit

POST _ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>/_reset

Prerequisitesedit

  • Requires the manage_ml cluster privilege. This privilege is included in the machine_learning_admin built-in role.
  • Before you can reset a job, you must close it. You can set force to true when closing the job to avoid waiting for the job to complete. See Close jobs.

Descriptionedit

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.

Path parametersedit

<job_id>
(Required, string) Identifier for the anomaly detection job.

Query parametersedit

wait_for_completion
(Optional, Boolean) Specifies whether the request should return immediately or wait until the job reset completes. Defaults to true.

Examplesedit

POST _ml/anomaly_detectors/total-requests/_reset

When the job is reset, you receive the following results:

{
  "acknowledged": true
}

In the next example we reset the total-requests job asynchronously:

POST _ml/anomaly_detectors/total-requests/_reset?wait_for_completion=false

When wait_for_completion is set to false, the response contains the id of the job reset task:

{
  "task": "oTUltX4IQMOUUVeiohTt8A:39"
}

If you want to check the status of the reset task, use the Task management by referencing the task ID.
