Query parameters

• actions string | array[string]

  Comma-separated list or wildcard expression of actions used to limit the request.

• detailed boolean

  If true, the response includes detailed information about shard recoveries. This information is useful to distinguish tasks from each other but is more costly to run.

• group_by string

  Key used to group tasks in the response.

  Values are nodes, parents, or none.

• nodes string | array[string]

  Comma-separated list of node IDs or names used to limit returned information.

• parent_task_id string

  Parent task ID used to limit returned information. To return all tasks, omit this parameter or use a value of -1.

• master_timeout string

  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.

• timeout string

  Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

• wait_for_completion boolean

  If true, the request blocks until the operation is complete.

          • 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.

            Additional properties are allowed.
