Opens one or more anomaly detection jobs.

Request

POST _ml/anomaly_detectors/{job_id}/_open

Description

edit

An anomaly detection job must be opened in order for it to be ready to receive and analyze data. It can be opened and closed multiple times throughout its lifecycle.

When you open a new job, it starts with an empty model.

When you open an existing job, the most recent model state is automatically loaded. The job is ready to resume its analysis from where it left off, once new data is received.

<job_id>
(Required, string) Identifier for the anomaly detection job.

timeout
(time) Controls the time to wait until a job has opened. The default value is 30 minutes.
