Preview a transform Added in 7.2.0

POST /_transform/{transform_id}/_preview

Generates a preview of the results that you will get when you create a transform with the same configuration.

It returns a maximum of 100 results. The calculations are based on all the current data in the source index. It also generates a list of mappings and settings for the destination index. These values are determined based on the field types of the source index and the transform aggregations.

Path parameters

  • transform_id string Required

    Identifier for the transform to preview. If you specify this path parameter, you cannot provide transform configuration details in the request body.

Query parameters

  • timeout string

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

    • Specifies whether the transform checkpoint ranges should be optimized for performance. Such optimization can align checkpoint ranges with the date histogram interval when date histogram is specified as a group source in the transform config. As a result, less document updates in the destination index will be performed thus improving overall performance.

    • Defines if dates in the ouput should be written as ISO formatted string or as millis since epoch. epoch_millis was the default for transforms created before version 7.11. For compatible output set this value to true.

    • Specifies whether the transform should deduce the destination index mappings from the transform configuration.

    • Specifies a limit on the number of input documents per second. This setting throttles the transform by adding a wait time between search requests. The default value is null, which disables throttling.

    • Defines the initial page size to use for the composite aggregation for each checkpoint. If circuit breaker exceptions occur, the page size is dynamically adjusted to a lower value. The minimum value is 10 and the maximum is 65,536.

    • unattended boolean

      If true, the transform runs in unattended mode. In unattended mode, the transform retries indefinitely in case of an error which means the transform never fails. Setting the number of retries other than infinite fails in validation.

            Depending on the target language, code generators can keep the union or remove it and leniently parse strings to the target type.

          • If specified, this is the timestamp used to calculate the index age for its phase transitions. Use this setting if you create a new index that contains old data and want to use the original creation date to calculate the index age. Specified as a Unix epoch value in milliseconds.

          • Set to true to parse the origination date from the index name. This origination date is used to calculate the index age for its phase transitions. The index name must match the pattern .*-{date_format}-\d+, where the date_format is yyyy.MM.dd and the trailing digits are optional. An index that was rolled over would normally match the full format, for example logs-2016.10.31-000002). If the index name doesn’t match the pattern, index creation fails.

          • The index alias to update when the index rolls over. Specify when using a policy that contains a rollover action. When the index rolls over, the alias is updated to reflect that the index is no longer the write index. For more information about rolling indices, see Rollover.

        • creation_date number | string

          Some APIs will return values such as numbers also as a string (notably epoch timestamps). This behavior is used to capture this behavior while keeping the semantics of the field type.

            Hide total_fields attributes Show total_fields attributes object
            • limit number

              The maximum number of fields in an index. Field and object mappings, as well as field aliases count towards this limit. The limit is in place to prevent mappings and searches from becoming too large. Higher values can lead to performance degradations and memory issues, especially in clusters with a high load or few resources.

            • This setting determines what happens when a dynamically mapped field would exceed the total fields limit. When set to false (the default), the index request of the document that tries to add a dynamic field to the mapping will fail with the message Limit of total fields [X] has been exceeded. When set to true, the index request will not fail. Instead, fields that would exceed the limit are not added to the mapping, similar to dynamic: false. The fields that were not added to the mapping will be added to the _ignored field.

          • depth object

            Additional properties are allowed.

            Hide depth attribute Show depth attribute object
            • limit number

            Hide nested_fields attribute Show nested_fields attribute object
            • limit number

              The maximum number of distinct nested mappings in an index. The nested type should only be used in special cases, when arrays of objects need to be queried independently of each other. To safeguard against poorly designed mappings, this setting limits the number of unique nested types per index.

          • Additional properties are allowed.

            Hide nested_objects attribute Show nested_objects attribute object
            • limit number

          • Additional properties are allowed.

            Hide field_name_length attribute Show field_name_length attribute object
            • limit number

              Setting for the maximum length of a field name. This setting isn’t really something that addresses mappings explosion but might still be useful if you want to limit the field length. It usually shouldn’t be necessary to set this setting. The default is okay unless a user starts to add a huge number of fields with really long names. Default is Long.MAX_VALUE (no limit).

            Some APIs will return values such as numbers also as a string (notably epoch timestamps). This behavior is used to capture this behavior while keeping the semantics of the field type.

            Depending on the target language, code generators can keep the union or remove it and leniently parse strings to the target type.

          • If specified, this is the timestamp used to calculate the index age for its phase transitions. Use this setting if you create a new index that contains old data and want to use the original creation date to calculate the index age. Specified as a Unix epoch value in milliseconds.

          • Set to true to parse the origination date from the index name. This origination date is used to calculate the index age for its phase transitions. The index name must match the pattern .*-{date_format}-\d+, where the date_format is yyyy.MM.dd and the trailing digits are optional. An index that was rolled over would normally match the full format, for example logs-2016.10.31-000002). If the index name doesn’t match the pattern, index creation fails.

          • The index alias to update when the index rolls over. Specify when using a policy that contains a rollover action. When the index rolls over, the alias is updated to reflect that the index is no longer the write index. For more information about rolling indices, see Rollover.

        • creation_date number | string

          Some APIs will return values such as numbers also as a string (notably epoch timestamps). This behavior is used to capture this behavior while keeping the semantics of the field type.

        • creation_date_string string | number

          A date and time, either as a string whose format can depend on the context (defaulting to ISO 8601), or a number of milliseconds since the Epoch. Elasticsearch accepts both as input, but will generally output a string representation.

            Hide total_fields attributes Show total_fields attributes object
            • limit number

              The maximum number of fields in an index. Field and object mappings, as well as field aliases count towards this limit. The limit is in place to prevent mappings and searches from becoming too large. Higher values can lead to performance degradations and memory issues, especially in clusters with a high load or few resources.

            • This setting determines what happens when a dynamically mapped field would exceed the total fields limit. When set to false (the default), the index request of the document that tries to add a dynamic field to the mapping will fail with the message Limit of total fields [X] has been exceeded. When set to true, the index request will not fail. Instead, fields that would exceed the limit are not added to the mapping, similar to dynamic: false. The fields that were not added to the mapping will be added to the _ignored field.

          • depth object

            Additional properties are allowed.

            Hide depth attribute Show depth attribute object
            • limit number

              The maximum depth for a field, which is measured as the number of inner objects. For instance, if all fields are defined at the root object level, then the depth is 1. If there is one object mapping, then the depth is 2, etc.

            Hide nested_fields attribute Show nested_fields attribute object
            • limit number

              The maximum number of distinct nested mappings in an index. The nested type should only be used in special cases, when arrays of objects need to be queried independently of each other. To safeguard against poorly designed mappings, this setting limits the number of unique nested types per index.

          • Additional properties are allowed.

            Hide nested_objects attribute Show nested_objects attribute object
            • limit number

              The maximum number of nested JSON objects that a single document can contain across all nested types. This limit helps to prevent out of memory errors when a document contains too many nested objects.

          • Additional properties are allowed.

            Hide field_name_length attribute Show field_name_length attribute object
            • limit number

              Setting for the maximum length of a field name. This setting isn’t really something that addresses mappings explosion but might still be useful if you want to limit the field length. It usually shouldn’t be necessary to set this setting. The default is okay unless a user starts to add a huge number of fields with really long names. Default is Long.MAX_VALUE (no limit).

            You can restrict the use of the mmapfs and the related hybridfs store type via the setting node.store.allow_mmap. This is a boolean setting indicating whether or not memory-mapping is allowed. The default is to allow it. This setting is useful, for example, if you are in an environment where you can not control the ability to create a lot of memory maps so you need disable the ability to use memory-mapping.
