Get anomaly detection job statistics APIedit

Retrieves usage information for anomaly detection jobs.

Requestedit

GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>/_stats

GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>,<job_id>/_stats

GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/_stats

GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/_all/_stats

Prerequisitesedit

If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have monitor_ml, monitor, manage_ml, or manage cluster privileges to use this API. See Security privileges.

Descriptionedit

You can get statistics for multiple anomaly detection jobs in a single API request by using a group name, a comma-separated list of jobs, or a wildcard expression. You can get statistics for all anomaly detection jobs by using _all, by specifying * as the <job_id>, or by omitting the <job_id>.

This API returns a maximum of 10,000 jobs.

Path parametersedit

<job_id>: (Optional, string) Identifier for the anomaly detection job. It can be a job identifier, a group name, or a wildcard expression. If you do not specify one of these options, the API returns information for all anomaly detection jobs.

Query parametersedit

allow_no_jobs

(Optional, boolean) Specifies what to do when the request:

Contains wildcard expressions and there are no jobs that match.
Contains the _all string or no identifiers and there are no matches.
Contains wildcard expressions and there are only partial matches.

The default value is true, which returns an empty jobs array when there are no matches and the subset of results when there are partial matches. If this parameter is false, the request returns a 404 status code when there are no matches or only partial matches.

Response bodyedit

The API returns the following information about the operational progress of a job:

assignment_explanation

(string) For open jobs only, contains messages relating to the selection of a node to run the job.

data_counts

(object) An object that describes the quantity of input to the job and any related error counts. The data_count values are cumulative for the lifetime of a job. If a model snapshot is reverted or old results are deleted, the job counts are not reset.

data_counts.bucket_count: (long) The number of bucket results produced by the job.
data_counts.earliest_record_timestamp: (date) The timestamp of the earliest chronologically input document.
data_counts.empty_bucket_count: (long) 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.
data_counts.input_bytes: (long) The number of raw bytes read by the job.
data_counts.input_field_count: (long) The total number of fields in input documents posted to the 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.
data_counts.input_record_count: (long) The number of data records read by the job.
data_counts.invalid_date_count: (long) The number of records with either a missing date field or a date that could not be parsed.
data_counts.job_id: (string) Identifier for the anomaly detection job.
data_counts.last_data_time: (date) The timestamp at which data was last analyzed, according to server time.
data_counts.latest_empty_bucket_timestamp: (date) The timestamp of the last bucket that did not contain any data.
data_counts.latest_record_timestamp: (date) The timestamp of the latest chronologically input document.
data_counts.latest_sparse_bucket_timestamp: (date) The timestamp of the last bucket that was considered sparse.
data_counts.missing_field_count: (long) The number of input documents that are missing a field that the job is configured to analyze. Input documents with missing fields are still processed because it is possible that not all fields are missing. The value of processed_record_count includes this count.

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.
data_counts.out_of_order_timestamp_count: (long) The number of input documents that are out of time sequence and outside of the latency window. This information is applicable only when you provide data to the 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.
data_counts.processed_field_count: (long) The total number of fields in all the documents that have been processed by the job. Only fields that are specified in the detector configuration object contribute to this count. The time stamp is not included in this count.
data_counts.processed_record_count: (long) The number of input documents that have been processed by the 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 will be the number of aggregation results processed, not the number of Elasticsearch documents.
data_counts.sparse_bucket_count: (long) 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.

deleting

(boolean) Indicates that the process of deleting the job is in progress but not yet completed. It is only reported when true.

forecasts_stats

(object) An object that provides statistical information about forecasts belonging to this job. Some statistics are omitted if no forecasts have been made. It has the following properties:

memory_bytes, records, processing_time_ms and status require at least one forecast. Otherwise, these fields are omitted.

forecasts_stats.forecasted_jobs: (long) A value of 0 indicates that forecasts do not exist for this job. A value of 1 indicates that at least one forecast exists.
forecasts_stats.memory_bytes: (object) The avg, min, max and total memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to this job. If there are no forecasts, this property is omitted.
forecasts_stats.processing_time_ms: (object) Statistics about the forecast runtime in milliseconds: minimum, maximum, average and total.
forecasts_stats.records: (object) The avg, min, max and total number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to this job. If there are no forecasts, this property is omitted.
forecasts_stats.processing_time_ms: (object) The avg, min, max and total runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to this job. If there are no forecasts, this property is omitted.
forecasts_stats.status: (object) The count of forecasts by their status. For example: {"finished" : 2, "started" : 1}. If there are no forecasts, this property is omitted.

state

(string) The status of the job, which can be one of the following values:

closed: The job finished successfully with its model state persisted. The job must be opened before it can accept further data.
closing: The job close action is in progress and has not yet completed. A closing job cannot accept further data.
failed: The job did not finish successfully due to an error. This situation can occur due to invalid input data. 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.
opened: The job is available to receive and process data.
opening: The job open action is in progress and has not yet completed.
