Authentication

The API accepts 3 different authentication methods:

Api key auth (http_api_key)

Elasticsearch APIs support key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example:

curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"

To get API keys, use the /_security/api_key APIs.

Basic auth (http)

Basic auth tokens are constructed with the Basic keyword, followed by a space, followed by a base64-encoded string of your username:password (separated by a : colon).

Example: send a Authorization: Basic aGVsbG86aGVsbG8= HTTP header with your requests to authenticate with the API.

Bearer auth (http)

Elasticsearch APIs support the use of bearer tokens in the Authorization HTTP header to authenticate with the API. For examples, refer to Token-based authentication services

Get the autoscaling capacity Added in 7.11.0

GET /_autoscaling/capacity

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.

Query parameters

  • 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.

Get aliases

GET /_cat/aliases/{name}

Get the cluster's index aliases, including filter and routing information. This API does not return data stream aliases.

IMPORTANT: CAT APIs are only intended for human consumption using the command line or the Kibana console. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the aliases API.

Path parameters

  • name string | array[string] Required

    A comma-separated list of aliases to retrieve. Supports wildcards (*). To retrieve all aliases, omit this parameter or use * or _all.

Query parameters

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    The type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. It supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

  • The period to wait for a connection to the master node. If the master node is not available before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. To indicated that the request should never timeout, you can set it to -1.

Get anomaly detection jobs Added in 7.7.0

GET /_cat/ml/anomaly_detectors/{job_id}

Get configuration and usage information for anomaly detection jobs. This API returns a maximum of 10,000 jobs. If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have monitor_ml, monitor, manage_ml, or manage cluster privileges to use this API.

IMPORTANT: CAT APIs are only intended for human consumption using the Kibana console or command line. They are not intended for use by applications. For application consumption, use the get anomaly detection job statistics API.

Path parameters

  • job_id string Required

    Identifier for the anomaly detection job.

Query parameters

  • 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.

    If true, the API returns an empty jobs array when there are no matches and the subset of results when there are partial matches. If false, the API returns a 404 status code when there are no matches or only partial matches.

  • bytes string

    The unit used to display byte values.

    Values are b, kb, mb, gb, tb, or pb.

  • h string | array[string]

    Comma-separated list of column names to display.

  • s string | array[string]

    Comma-separated list of column names or column aliases used to sort the response.

  • time string

    The unit used to display time values.

    Values are nanos, micros, ms, s, m, h, or d.

Responses

  • Hide response attributes Show response attributes object
    • id string
    • state string

      Values are closing, closed, opened, failed, or opening.

    • For open jobs only, the amount of time the job has been opened.

    • For open anomaly detection jobs only, contains messages relating to the selection of a node to run the job.

    • The number of input documents that have been processed by the anomaly detection 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 is the number of aggregation results processed, not the number of Elasticsearch documents.

    • The total number of fields in all the documents that have been processed by the anomaly detection job. Only fields that are specified in the detector configuration object contribute to this count. The timestamp is not included in this count.

    • The number of input documents posted to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total number of fields in input documents posted to the anomaly detection 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.

    • The number of input documents with either a missing date field or a date that could not be parsed.

    • The number of input documents that are missing a field that the anomaly detection job is configured to analyze. Input documents with missing fields are still processed because it is possible that not all fields are missing. 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.

    • The number of input documents that have a timestamp chronologically preceding the start of the current anomaly detection bucket offset by the latency window. This information is applicable only when you provide data to the anomaly detection 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • The total number of buckets processed.

    • The timestamp of the earliest chronologically input document.

    • The timestamp of the latest chronologically input document.

    • The timestamp at which data was last analyzed, according to server time.

    • The timestamp of the last bucket that did not contain any data.

    • The timestamp of the last bucket that was considered sparse.

    • Values are ok, soft_limit, or hard_limit.

    • The upper limit for model memory usage, checked on increasing values.

    • The number of by field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of over field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of partition field values that were analyzed by the models. This value is cumulative for all detectors in the job.

    • The number of buckets for which new entities in incoming data were not processed due to insufficient model memory. This situation is also signified by a hard_limit: memory_status property value.

    • Values are ok or warn.

    • The number of documents that have had a field categorized.

    • The number of categories created by categorization.

    • The number of categories that match more than 1% of categorized documents.

    • The number of categories that match just one categorized document.

    • The number of categories created by categorization that will never be assigned again because another category’s definition makes it a superset of the dead category. Dead categories are a side effect of the way categorization has no prior training.

    • The number of times that categorization wanted to create a new category but couldn’t because the job had hit its model_memory_limit. This count does not track which specific categories failed to be created. Therefore you cannot use this value to determine the number of unique categories that were missed.

    • The timestamp when the model stats were gathered, according to server time.

    • The timestamp of the last record when the model stats were gathered.

    • The number of individual forecasts currently available for the job. A value of one or more indicates that forecasts exist.

    • The minimum memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The maximum memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The average memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total memory usage in bytes for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The minimum number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The maximum number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The average number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total number of model_forecast documents written for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The minimum runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The maximum runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The average runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • The total runtime in milliseconds for forecasts related to the anomaly detection job.

    • node.id string
    • The name of the assigned node.

    • The network address of the assigned node.

    • The number of bucket results produced by the job.

    • The sum of all bucket processing times, in milliseconds.
