Description

edit

Datafeeds retrieve data from Elasticsearch for analysis by anomaly detection jobs. For more information, see Datafeeds.

This API returns a maximum of 10,000 datafeeds.

Path parameters

edit
<feed_id>
(Optional, string) A numerical character string that uniquely identifies the datafeed. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.

Query parameters

edit
allow_no_datafeeds
(Optional, Boolean) [7.10] Deprecated in 7.10. Use allow_no_match instead.
allow_no_match

(Optional, Boolean) Specifies what to do when the request:

  • Contains wildcard expressions and there are no datafeeds that match.
  • Contains the _all string or no identifiers and there are no matches.
  • Contains wildcard expressions and there are only partial matches.

The default value is true, which returns an empty datafeeds array when there are no matches and the subset of results when there are partial matches. If this parameter is false, the request returns a 404 status code when there are no matches or only partial matches.

format
(Optional, string) Short version of the HTTP accept header. Valid values include JSON, YAML, etc.
