Create a rollup job | Elasticsearch API documentation (v9)

Path parameters

idstring Required
Identifier for the rollup job. This can be any alphanumeric string and uniquely identifies the data that is associated with the rollup job. The ID is persistent; it is stored with the rolled up data. If you create a job, let it run for a while, then delete the job, the data that the job rolled up is still be associated with this job ID. You cannot create a new job with the same ID since that could lead to problems with mismatched job configurations.

BodyRequired

cronstring Required
A cron string which defines the intervals when the rollup job should be executed. When the interval triggers, the indexer attempts to rollup the data in the index pattern. The cron pattern is unrelated to the time interval of the data being rolled up. For example, you may wish to create hourly rollups of your document but to only run the indexer on a daily basis at midnight, as defined by the cron. The cron pattern is defined just like a Watcher cron schedule.
groupsobject Required
Hide groups attributes Show groups attributes object
- date_histogramobject
  Hide date_histogram attributes Show date_histogram attributes object
  delaystring
  A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.
  fieldstring Required
  Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.
  formatstring
  intervalstring
  A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.
  calendar_intervalstring
  A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.
  fixed_intervalstring
  A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.
  time_zonestring
- histogramobject
  Hide histogram attributes Show histogram attributes object
  fieldsstring | array[string] Required
  intervalnumber Required
  The interval of histogram buckets to be generated when rolling up. For example, a value of 5 creates buckets that are five units wide (0-5, 5-10, etc). Note that only one interval can be specified in the histogram group, meaning that all fields being grouped via the histogram must share the same interval.
- termsobject
  Hide terms attribute Show terms attribute object
  fieldsstring | array[string] Required
index_patternstring Required
The index or index pattern to roll up. Supports wildcard-style patterns (logstash-*). The job attempts to rollup the entire index or index-pattern.
metricsarray[object]
Defines the metrics to collect for each grouping tuple. By default, only the doc_counts are collected for each group. To make rollup useful, you will often add metrics like averages, mins, maxes, etc. Metrics are defined on a per-field basis and for each field you configure which metric should be collected.

- fieldstring Required
  Path to field or array of paths. Some API's support wildcards in the path to select multiple fields.
- metricsarray[string] Required
  An array of metrics to collect for the field. At least one metric must be configured.
  Values are min, max, sum, avg, or value_count.
page_sizenumber Required
The number of bucket results that are processed on each iteration of the rollup indexer. A larger value tends to execute faster, but requires more memory during processing. This value has no effect on how the data is rolled up; it is merely used for tweaking the speed or memory cost of the indexer.
rollup_indexstring Required
timeoutstring
A duration. Units can be nanos, micros, ms (milliseconds), s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours) and d (days). Also accepts "0" without a unit and "-1" to indicate an unspecified value.

Run `PUT _rollup/job/sensor` to create a rollup job that targets the `sensor-*` index pattern. This configuration enables date histograms to be used on the `timestamp` field and terms aggregations to be used on the `node` field. This configuration defines metrics over two fields: `temperature` and `voltage`. For the `temperature` field, it collects the `min`, `max`, and `sum` of the temperature. For `voltage`, it collects the `average`.
