Create or update a document in an index

PUT /{index}/_doc/{id}

Add a JSON document to the specified data stream or index and make it searchable. If the target is an index and the document already exists, the request updates the document and increments its version.

NOTE: You cannot use this API to send update requests for existing documents in a data stream.

If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:

  • To add or overwrite a document using the PUT /<target>/_doc/<_id> request format, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.
  • To add a document using the POST /<target>/_doc/ request format, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege.
  • To automatically create a data stream or index with this API request, you must have the auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.

Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.

NOTE: Replica shards might not all be started when an indexing operation returns successfully. By default, only the primary is required. Set wait_for_active_shards to change this default behavior.

Automatically create data streams and indices

If the request's target doesn't exist and matches an index template with a data_stream definition, the index operation automatically creates the data stream.

If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, the operation automatically creates the index and applies any matching index templates.

NOTE: Elasticsearch includes several built-in index templates. To avoid naming collisions with these templates, refer to index pattern documentation.

If no mapping exists, the index operation creates a dynamic mapping. By default, new fields and objects are automatically added to the mapping if needed.

Automatic index creation is controlled by the action.auto_create_index setting. If it is true, any index can be created automatically. You can modify this setting to explicitly allow or block automatic creation of indices that match specified patterns or set it to false to turn off automatic index creation entirely. Specify a comma-separated list of patterns you want to allow or prefix each pattern with + or - to indicate whether it should be allowed or blocked. When a list is specified, the default behaviour is to disallow.

NOTE: The action.auto_create_index setting affects the automatic creation of indices only. It does not affect the creation of data streams.

Optimistic concurrency control

Index operations can be made conditional and only be performed if the last modification to the document was assigned the sequence number and primary term specified by the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters. If a mismatch is detected, the operation will result in a VersionConflictException and a status code of 409.

Routing

By default, shard placement — or routing — is controlled by using a hash of the document's ID value. For more explicit control, the value fed into the hash function used by the router can be directly specified on a per-operation basis using the routing parameter.

When setting up explicit mapping, you can also use the _routing field to direct the index operation to extract the routing value from the document itself. This does come at the (very minimal) cost of an additional document parsing pass. If the _routing mapping is defined and set to be required, the index operation will fail if no routing value is provided or extracted.

NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.

  • ** Distributed**

The index operation is directed to the primary shard based on its route and performed on the actual node containing this shard. After the primary shard completes the operation, if needed, the update is distributed to applicable replicas.

Active shards

To improve the resiliency of writes to the system, indexing operations can be configured to wait for a certain number of active shard copies before proceeding with the operation. If the requisite number of active shard copies are not available, then the write operation must wait and retry, until either the requisite shard copies have started or a timeout occurs. By default, write operations only wait for the primary shards to be active before proceeding (that is to say wait_for_active_shards is 1). This default can be overridden in the index settings dynamically by setting index.write.wait_for_active_shards. To alter this behavior per operation, use the wait_for_active_shards request parameter.

Valid values are all or any positive integer up to the total number of configured copies per shard in the index (which is number_of_replicas+1). Specifying a negative value or a number greater than the number of shard copies will throw an error.

For example, suppose you have a cluster of three nodes, A, B, and C and you create an index index with the number of replicas set to 3 (resulting in 4 shard copies, one more copy than there are nodes). If you attempt an indexing operation, by default the operation will only ensure the primary copy of each shard is available before proceeding. This means that even if B and C went down and A hosted the primary shard copies, the indexing operation would still proceed with only one copy of the data. If wait_for_active_shards is set on the request to 3 (and all three nodes are up), the indexing operation will require 3 active shard copies before proceeding. This requirement should be met because there are 3 active nodes in the cluster, each one holding a copy of the shard. However, if you set wait_for_active_shards to all (or to 4, which is the same in this situation), the indexing operation will not proceed as you do not have all 4 copies of each shard active in the index. The operation will timeout unless a new node is brought up in the cluster to host the fourth copy of the shard.

It is important to note that this setting greatly reduces the chances of the write operation not writing to the requisite number of shard copies, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility, because this check occurs before the write operation starts. After the write operation is underway, it is still possible for replication to fail on any number of shard copies but still succeed on the primary. The _shards section of the API response reveals the number of shard copies on which replication succeeded and failed.

No operation (noop) updates

When updating a document by using this API, a new version of the document is always created even if the document hasn't changed. If this isn't acceptable use the _update API with detect_noop set to true. The detect_noop option isn't available on this API because it doesn’t fetch the old source and isn't able to compare it against the new source.

There isn't a definitive rule for when noop updates aren't acceptable. It's a combination of lots of factors like how frequently your data source sends updates that are actually noops and how many queries per second Elasticsearch runs on the shard receiving the updates.

Versioning

Each indexed document is given a version number. By default, internal versioning is used that starts at 1 and increments with each update, deletes included. Optionally, the version number can be set to an external value (for example, if maintained in a database). To enable this functionality, version_type should be set to external. The value provided must be a numeric, long value greater than or equal to 0, and less than around 9.2e+18.

NOTE: Versioning is completely real time, and is not affected by the near real time aspects of search operations. If no version is provided, the operation runs without any version checks.

When using the external version type, the system checks to see if the version number passed to the index request is greater than the version of the currently stored document. If true, the document will be indexed and the new version number used. If the value provided is less than or equal to the stored document's version number, a version conflict will occur and the index operation will fail. For example:

PUT my-index-000001/_doc/1?version=2&version_type=external
{
  "user": {
    "id": "elkbee"
  }
}

In this example, the operation will succeed since the supplied version of 2 is higher than the current document version of 1.
If the document was already updated and its version was set to 2 or higher, the indexing command will fail and result in a conflict (409 HTTP status code).

A nice side effect is that there is no need to maintain strict ordering of async indexing operations run as a result of changes to a source database, as long as version numbers from the source database are used.
Even the simple case of updating the Elasticsearch index using data from a database is simplified if external versioning is used, as only the latest version will be used if the index operations arrive out of order.

Path parameters

  • index string Required

    The name of the data stream or index to target. If the target doesn't exist and matches the name or wildcard (*) pattern of an index template with a data_stream definition, this request creates the data stream. If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, this request creates the index. You can check for existing targets with the resolve index API.

  • id string Required

    A unique identifier for the document. To automatically generate a document ID, use the POST /<target>/_doc/ request format and omit this parameter.

Query parameters

  • Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.

  • Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.

  • op_type string

    Set to create to only index the document if it does not already exist (put if absent). If a document with the specified _id already exists, the indexing operation will fail. The behavior is the same as using the <index>/_create endpoint. If a document ID is specified, this paramater defaults to index. Otherwise, it defaults to create. If the request targets a data stream, an op_type of create is required.

    Values are index or create.

  • pipeline string

    The ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents. If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, then setting the value to _none disables the default ingest pipeline for this request. If a final pipeline is configured it will always run, regardless of the value of this parameter.

  • refresh string

    If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search. If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search. If false, it does nothing with refreshes.

    Values are true, false, or wait_for.

  • routing string

    A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.

  • timeout string

    The period the request waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards.

    This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the operation might not be available when the operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a gateway or undergoing relocation. By default, the operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for at least 1 minute before failing and responding with an error. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.

  • version number

    An explicit version number for concurrency control. It must be a non-negative long number.

  • The version type.

    Values are internal, external, external_gte, or force.

  • wait_for_active_shards number | string

    The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation. You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1). The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.

  • If true, the destination must be an index alias.

Explore graph analytics

GET /{index}/_graph/explore

Extract and summarize information about the documents and terms in an Elasticsearch data stream or index. The easiest way to understand the behavior of this API is to use the Graph UI to explore connections. An initial request to the _explore API contains a seed query that identifies the documents of interest and specifies the fields that define the vertices and connections you want to include in the graph. Subsequent requests enable you to spider out from one more vertices of interest. You can exclude vertices that have already been returned.

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    Name of the index.

Query parameters

  • routing string

    Custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.

  • timeout string

    Specifies the period of time to wait for a response from each shard. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to no timeout.

        Hide include attributes Show include attributes object
      • Specifies how many documents must contain a pair of terms before it is considered to be a useful connection. This setting acts as a certainty threshold.

      • Controls how many documents on a particular shard have to contain a pair of terms before the connection is returned for global consideration.

Delete a dangling index Added in 7.9.0

DELETE /_dangling/{index_uuid}

If Elasticsearch encounters index data that is absent from the current cluster state, those indices are considered to be dangling. For example, this can happen if you delete more than cluster.indices.tombstones.size indices while an Elasticsearch node is offline.

Path parameters

  • index_uuid string Required

    The UUID of the index to delete. Use the get dangling indices API to find the UUID.

Query parameters

  • accept_data_loss boolean Required

    This parameter must be set to true to acknowledge that it will no longer be possible to recove data from the dangling index.

  • Specify timeout for connection to master

  • timeout string

    Explicit operation timeout

Responses

  • 200 application/json
    Hide response attribute Show response attribute object
    • acknowledged boolean Required

      For a successful response, this value is always true. On failure, an exception is returned instead.

Update index settings

PUT /{index}/_settings

Changes dynamic index settings in real time. For data streams, index setting changes are applied to all backing indices by default.

To revert a setting to the default value, use a null value. The list of per-index settings that can be updated dynamically on live indices can be found in index module documentation. To preserve existing settings from being updated, set the preserve_existing parameter to true.

NOTE: You can only define new analyzers on closed indices. To add an analyzer, you must close the index, define the analyzer, and reopen the index. You cannot close the write index of a data stream. To update the analyzer for a data stream's write index and future backing indices, update the analyzer in the index template used by the stream. Then roll over the data stream to apply the new analyzer to the stream's write index and future backing indices. This affects searches and any new data added to the stream after the rollover. However, it does not affect the data stream's backing indices or their existing data. To change the analyzer for existing backing indices, you must create a new data stream and reindex your data into it.

Path parameters

  • index string | array[string] Required

    Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request. Supports wildcards (*). To target all data streams and indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.

Query parameters

  • If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.

  • expand_wildcards string | array[string]

    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. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

  • If true, returns settings in flat format.

  • If true, returns settings in flat format.

  • 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.

  • If true, existing index settings remain unchanged.

  • timeout string

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

    Hide lifecycle attributes Show lifecycle attributes object
    • name string
    • indexing_complete boolean | 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.

      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.

  • 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.

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

        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.

      • ignore_dynamic_beyond_limit boolean | string

        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.

    • Additional properties are allowed.

      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).

    • Additional properties are allowed.

      Hide dimension_fields attribute Show dimension_fields attribute object
      • limit number

    Additional properties are allowed.

    Hide store attributes Show store attributes object
    • type string Required

    • allow_mmap boolean

      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.

Simulate an index template

POST /_index_template/_simulate/{name}

Get the index configuration that would be applied by a particular index template.

Path parameters

  • name string Required

    Name of the index template to simulate. To test a template configuration before you add it to the cluster, omit this parameter and specify the template configuration in the request body.

Query parameters

  • create boolean

    If true, the template passed in the body is only used if no existing templates match the same index patterns. If false, the simulation uses the template with the highest priority. Note that the template is not permanently added or updated in either case; it is only used for the simulation.

  • 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.

  • If true, returns all relevant default configurations for the index template.

application/json

Body

  • This setting overrides the value of the action.auto_create_index cluster setting. If set to true in a template, then indices can be automatically created using that template even if auto-creation of indices is disabled via actions.auto_create_index. If set to false, then indices or data streams matching the template must always be explicitly created, and may never be automatically created.

          • 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.

            Hide total_fields attributes Show total_fields attributes object
            • limit number | string

              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.

            • ignore_dynamic_beyond_limit boolean | string

              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.

            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.

          • Additional properties are allowed.

            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).
