Flush Jobsedit
The flush job API forces any buffered data to be processed by the job.
Requestedit
POST _xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>/_flush
Descriptionedit
The flush job API is only applicable when sending data for analysis using the post data API. Depending on the content of the buffer, then it might additionally calculate new results.
Both flush and close operations are similar, however the flush is more efficient if you are expecting to send more data for analysis. When flushing, the job remains open and is available to continue analyzing data. A close operation additionally prunes and persists the model state to disk and the job must be opened again before analyzing further data.
