Delete an anomaly detection job Added in 5.4.0

DELETE /_ml/anomaly_detectors/{job_id}

All job configuration, model state and results are deleted. It is not currently possible to delete multiple jobs using wildcards or a comma separated list. If you delete a job that has a datafeed, the request first tries to delete the datafeed. This behavior is equivalent to calling the delete datafeed API with the same timeout and force parameters as the delete job request.

Path parameters

  • job_id string Required

    Identifier for the anomaly detection job.

Query parameters

  • force boolean

    Use to forcefully delete an opened job; this method is quicker than closing and deleting the job.

  • delete_user_annotations boolean

    Specifies whether annotations that have been added by the user should be deleted along with any auto-generated annotations when the job is reset.

  • wait_for_completion boolean

    Specifies whether the request should return immediately or wait until the job deletion completes.
