Stop rollup jobs APIedit
Stops an existing, started rollup job.
This functionality is experimental and may be changed or removed completely in a future release. Elastic will take a best effort approach to fix any issues, but experimental features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.
Requestedit
POST _rollup/job/<job_id>/_stop
Prerequisitesedit
-
If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have
manage
ormanage_rollup
cluster privileges to use this API. For more information, see Security privileges.
Descriptionedit
If you try to stop a job that does not exist, an exception occurs. If you try to stop a job that is already stopped, nothing happens.
Path parametersedit
-
<job_id>
- (Required, string) Identifier for the rollup job.
Query parametersedit
-
timeout
-
(Optional, TimeValue) If
wait_for_completion
istrue
, the API blocks for (at maximum) the specified duration while waiting for the job to stop. If more thantimeout
time has passed, the API throws a timeout exception. Defaults to30s
.Even if a timeout exception is thrown, the stop request is still processing and eventually moves the job to
STOPPED
. The timeout simply means the API call itself timed out while waiting for the status change. -
wait_for_completion
-
(Optional, boolean) If set to
true
, causes the API to block until the indexer state completely stops. If set tofalse
, the API returns immediately and the indexer is stopped asynchronously in the background. Defaults tofalse
.
Response codesedit
-
404
(Missing resources) - This code indicates that there are no resources that match the request. It occurs if you try to stop a job that doesn’t exist.
Examplesedit
Since only a stopped job can be deleted, it can be useful to block the API until
the indexer has fully stopped. This is accomplished with the
wait_for_completion
query parameter, and optionally a timeout
:
POST _rollup/job/sensor/_stop?wait_for_completion=true&timeout=10s
The parameter blocks the API call from returning until either the job has moved
to STOPPED
or the specified time has elapsed. If the specified time elapses
without the job moving to STOPPED
, a timeout exception is thrown.
