Path parameters

• task_id string Required

  ID of the task.

Query parameters

• timeout string

    • action string Required
    • cancelled boolean
    • cancellable boolean Required
    • description string

      Human readable text that identifies the particular request that the task is performing. For example, it might identify the search request being performed by a search task. Other kinds of tasks have different descriptions, like _reindex which has the source and the destination, or _bulk which just has the number of requests and the destination indices. Many requests will have only an empty description because more detailed information about the request is not easily available or particularly helpful in identifying the request.

    • headers object Required

      • * string Additional properties
    • id number Required
    • node string Required
    • running_time string

      A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.

    • running_time_in_nanos number

      Time unit for nanoseconds

    • start_time_in_millis number

      Time unit for milliseconds

    • status object

      The internal status of the task, which varies from task to task. The format also varies. While the goal is to keep the status for a particular task consistent from version to version, this is not always possible because sometimes the implementation changes. Fields might be removed from the status for a particular request so any parsing you do of the status might break in minor releases.
