Start rollup jobs API

Rollups will be removed in a future version. Use downsampling instead.

Starts an existing, stopped rollup job.

POST _rollup/job/<job_id>/_start

If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have manage or manage_rollup cluster privileges to use this API. For more information, see Security privileges.

If you try to start a job that does not exist, an exception occurs. If you try to start a job that is already started, nothing happens.

404 (Missing resources): This code indicates that there are no resources that match the request. It occurs if you try to start a job that doesn’t exist.

If we have already created a rollup job named sensor, it can be started with:

resp = client.rollup.start_job(
    id="sensor",
)
print(resp)

response = client.rollup.start_job(
  id: 'sensor'
)
puts response

const response = await client.rollup.startJob({
  id: "sensor",
});
console.log(response);

POST _rollup/job/sensor/_start

Which will return the response:

{
  "started": true
}
