Delete watch API
editDelete watch API
editThe delete watch API removes a watch from Watcher.
Request
editDELETE _watcher/watch/<watch_id>
Description
editWhen the watch is removed, the document representing the watch in the .watches
index is gone and it will never be run again.
Please note that deleting a watch does not delete any watch execution records related to this watch from the watch history.
Deleting a watch must be done via this API only. Do not delete the
watch directly from the .watches
index using the Elasticsearch
DELETE Document API. When Elasticsearch security features are enabled, make
sure no write
privileges are granted to anyone over the .watches
index.
Path Parameters
edit-
watch_id
(required) - (string) Identifier for the watch.
Authorization
editYou must have manage_watcher
cluster privileges to use this API. For more
information, see Security privileges.
Examples
editThe following example deletes a watch with the my-watch
id:
DELETE _watcher/watch/my_watch
Response:
{ "found": true, "_id": "my_watch", "_version": 2 }
