Connector

The connector and sync jobs APIs provide a convenient way to create and manage Elastic connectors and sync jobs in an internal index. Connectors are Elasticsearch integrations for syncing content from third-party data sources, which can be deployed on Elastic Cloud or hosted on your own infrastructure. This API provides an alternative to relying solely on Kibana UI for connector and sync job management. The API comes with a set of validations and assertions to ensure that the state representation in the internal index remains valid. This API requires the manage_connector privilege or, for read-only endpoints, the monitor_connector privilege.

Delete a document

DELETE /{index}/_doc/{id}

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Remove a JSON document from the specified index.

NOTE: You cannot send deletion requests directly to a data stream. To delete a document in a data stream, you must target the backing index containing the document.

Optimistic concurrency control

Delete operations can be made conditional and only be performed if the last modification to the document was assigned the sequence number and primary term specified by the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters. If a mismatch is detected, the operation will result in a VersionConflictException and a status code of 409.

Versioning

Each document indexed is versioned. When deleting a document, the version can be specified to make sure the relevant document you are trying to delete is actually being deleted and it has not changed in the meantime. Every write operation run on a document, deletes included, causes its version to be incremented. The version number of a deleted document remains available for a short time after deletion to allow for control of concurrent operations. The length of time for which a deleted document's version remains available is determined by the index.gc_deletes index setting.

Routing

If routing is used during indexing, the routing value also needs to be specified to delete a document.

If the _routing mapping is set to required and no routing value is specified, the delete API throws a RoutingMissingException and rejects the request.

For example:

DELETE /my-index-000001/_doc/1?routing=shard-1

This request deletes the document with ID 1, but it is routed based on the user. The document is not deleted if the correct routing is not specified.

Distributed

The delete operation gets hashed into a specific shard ID. It then gets redirected into the primary shard within that ID group and replicated (if needed) to shard replicas within that ID group.

Path parameters

index string Required

The name of the target index.
id string Required

A unique identifier for the document.

Query parameters

if_primary_term number

Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
if_seq_no number

Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
refresh string

If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search. If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search. If false, it does nothing with refreshes.

Values are true, false, or wait_for.
routing string

A custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
timeout string

The period to wait for active shards.

This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the delete operation might not be available when the delete operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a store or undergoing relocation. By default, the delete operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for up to 1 minute before failing and responding with an error.
version number

An explicit version number for concurrency control. It must match the current version of the document for the request to succeed.
version_type string
The version type.

Supported values include:
- internal: Use internal versioning that starts at 1 and increments with each update or delete.
- external: Only index the document if the specified version is strictly higher than the version of the stored document or if there is no existing document.
- external_gte: Only index the document if the specified version is equal or higher than the version of the stored document or if there is no existing document. NOTE: The external_gte version type is meant for special use cases and should be used with care. If used incorrectly, it can result in loss of data.
- force: This option is deprecated because it can cause primary and replica shards to diverge.
Values are internal, external, external_gte, or force.
wait_for_active_shards number | string

The minimum number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation. You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1). The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.

Create or update a document in an index

POST /{index}/_doc

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Add a JSON document to the specified data stream or index and make it searchable. If the target is an index and the document already exists, the request updates the document and increments its version.

NOTE: You cannot use this API to send update requests for existing documents in a data stream.

If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have the following index privileges for the target data stream, index, or index alias:

To add or overwrite a document using the PUT /<target>/_doc/<_id> request format, you must have the create, index, or write index privilege.
To add a document using the POST /<target>/_doc/ request format, you must have the create_doc, create, index, or write index privilege.
To automatically create a data stream or index with this API request, you must have the auto_configure, create_index, or manage index privilege.

Automatic data stream creation requires a matching index template with data stream enabled.

NOTE: Replica shards might not all be started when an indexing operation returns successfully. By default, only the primary is required. Set wait_for_active_shards to change this default behavior.

Automatically create data streams and indices

If the request's target doesn't exist and matches an index template with a data_stream definition, the index operation automatically creates the data stream.

If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, the operation automatically creates the index and applies any matching index templates.

NOTE: Elasticsearch includes several built-in index templates. To avoid naming collisions with these templates, refer to index pattern documentation.

If no mapping exists, the index operation creates a dynamic mapping. By default, new fields and objects are automatically added to the mapping if needed.

Automatic index creation is controlled by the action.auto_create_index setting. If it is true, any index can be created automatically. You can modify this setting to explicitly allow or block automatic creation of indices that match specified patterns or set it to false to turn off automatic index creation entirely. Specify a comma-separated list of patterns you want to allow or prefix each pattern with + or - to indicate whether it should be allowed or blocked. When a list is specified, the default behaviour is to disallow.

NOTE: The action.auto_create_index setting affects the automatic creation of indices only. It does not affect the creation of data streams.

Optimistic concurrency control

Index operations can be made conditional and only be performed if the last modification to the document was assigned the sequence number and primary term specified by the if_seq_no and if_primary_term parameters. If a mismatch is detected, the operation will result in a VersionConflictException and a status code of 409.

Routing

By default, shard placement — or routing — is controlled by using a hash of the document's ID value. For more explicit control, the value fed into the hash function used by the router can be directly specified on a per-operation basis using the routing parameter.

When setting up explicit mapping, you can also use the _routing field to direct the index operation to extract the routing value from the document itself. This does come at the (very minimal) cost of an additional document parsing pass. If the _routing mapping is defined and set to be required, the index operation will fail if no routing value is provided or extracted.

NOTE: Data streams do not support custom routing unless they were created with the allow_custom_routing setting enabled in the template.

Distributed

The index operation is directed to the primary shard based on its route and performed on the actual node containing this shard. After the primary shard completes the operation, if needed, the update is distributed to applicable replicas.

Active shards

To improve the resiliency of writes to the system, indexing operations can be configured to wait for a certain number of active shard copies before proceeding with the operation. If the requisite number of active shard copies are not available, then the write operation must wait and retry, until either the requisite shard copies have started or a timeout occurs. By default, write operations only wait for the primary shards to be active before proceeding (that is to say wait_for_active_shards is 1). This default can be overridden in the index settings dynamically by setting index.write.wait_for_active_shards. To alter this behavior per operation, use the wait_for_active_shards request parameter.

Valid values are all or any positive integer up to the total number of configured copies per shard in the index (which is number_of_replicas+1). Specifying a negative value or a number greater than the number of shard copies will throw an error.

For example, suppose you have a cluster of three nodes, A, B, and C and you create an index index with the number of replicas set to 3 (resulting in 4 shard copies, one more copy than there are nodes). If you attempt an indexing operation, by default the operation will only ensure the primary copy of each shard is available before proceeding. This means that even if B and C went down and A hosted the primary shard copies, the indexing operation would still proceed with only one copy of the data. If wait_for_active_shards is set on the request to 3 (and all three nodes are up), the indexing operation will require 3 active shard copies before proceeding. This requirement should be met because there are 3 active nodes in the cluster, each one holding a copy of the shard. However, if you set wait_for_active_shards to all (or to 4, which is the same in this situation), the indexing operation will not proceed as you do not have all 4 copies of each shard active in the index. The operation will timeout unless a new node is brought up in the cluster to host the fourth copy of the shard.

It is important to note that this setting greatly reduces the chances of the write operation not writing to the requisite number of shard copies, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility, because this check occurs before the write operation starts. After the write operation is underway, it is still possible for replication to fail on any number of shard copies but still succeed on the primary. The _shards section of the API response reveals the number of shard copies on which replication succeeded and failed.

No operation (noop) updates

When updating a document by using this API, a new version of the document is always created even if the document hasn't changed. If this isn't acceptable use the _update API with detect_noop set to true. The detect_noop option isn't available on this API because it doesn’t fetch the old source and isn't able to compare it against the new source.

There isn't a definitive rule for when noop updates aren't acceptable. It's a combination of lots of factors like how frequently your data source sends updates that are actually noops and how many queries per second Elasticsearch runs on the shard receiving the updates.

Versioning

Each indexed document is given a version number. By default, internal versioning is used that starts at 1 and increments with each update, deletes included. Optionally, the version number can be set to an external value (for example, if maintained in a database). To enable this functionality, version_type should be set to external. The value provided must be a numeric, long value greater than or equal to 0, and less than around 9.2e+18.

NOTE: Versioning is completely real time, and is not affected by the near real time aspects of search operations. If no version is provided, the operation runs without any version checks.

When using the external version type, the system checks to see if the version number passed to the index request is greater than the version of the currently stored document. If true, the document will be indexed and the new version number used. If the value provided is less than or equal to the stored document's version number, a version conflict will occur and the index operation will fail. For example:

PUT my-index-000001/_doc/1?version=2&version_type=external
{
  "user": {
    "id": "elkbee"
  }
}

In this example, the operation will succeed since the supplied version of 2 is higher than the current document version of 1.
If the document was already updated and its version was set to 2 or higher, the indexing command will fail and result in a conflict (409 HTTP status code).

A nice side effect is that there is no need to maintain strict ordering of async indexing operations run as a result of changes to a source database, as long as version numbers from the source database are used.
Even the simple case of updating the Elasticsearch index using data from a database is simplified if external versioning is used, as only the latest version will be used if the index operations arrive out of order.

External documentation

Path parameters

index string Required

The name of the data stream or index to target. If the target doesn't exist and matches the name or wildcard (*) pattern of an index template with a data_stream definition, this request creates the data stream. If the target doesn't exist and doesn't match a data stream template, this request creates the index. You can check for existing targets with the resolve index API.

Query parameters

if_primary_term number

Only perform the operation if the document has this primary term.
if_seq_no number

Only perform the operation if the document has this sequence number.
include_source_on_error boolean

True or false if to include the document source in the error message in case of parsing errors.
op_type string
Set to create to only index the document if it does not already exist (put if absent). If a document with the specified _id already exists, the indexing operation will fail. The behavior is the same as using the <index>/_create endpoint. If a document ID is specified, this paramater defaults to index. Otherwise, it defaults to create. If the request targets a data stream, an op_type of create is required.

Supported values include:
- index: Overwrite any documents that already exist.
- create: Only index documents that do not already exist.
Values are index or create.
pipeline string

The ID of the pipeline to use to preprocess incoming documents. If the index has a default ingest pipeline specified, then setting the value to _none disables the default ingest pipeline for this request. If a final pipeline is configured it will always run, regardless of the value of this parameter.
refresh string

If true, Elasticsearch refreshes the affected shards to make this operation visible to search. If wait_for, it waits for a refresh to make this operation visible to search. If false, it does nothing with refreshes.

Values are true, false, or wait_for.
routing string

A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
timeout string

The period the request waits for the following operations: automatic index creation, dynamic mapping updates, waiting for active shards.

This parameter is useful for situations where the primary shard assigned to perform the operation might not be available when the operation runs. Some reasons for this might be that the primary shard is currently recovering from a gateway or undergoing relocation. By default, the operation will wait on the primary shard to become available for at least 1 minute before failing and responding with an error. The actual wait time could be longer, particularly when multiple waits occur.
version number

An explicit version number for concurrency control. It must be a non-negative long number.
version_type string
The version type.

Supported values include:
- internal: Use internal versioning that starts at 1 and increments with each update or delete.
- external: Only index the document if the specified version is strictly higher than the version of the stored document or if there is no existing document.
- external_gte: Only index the document if the specified version is equal or higher than the version of the stored document or if there is no existing document. NOTE: The external_gte version type is meant for special use cases and should be used with care. If used incorrectly, it can result in loss of data.
- force: This option is deprecated because it can cause primary and replica shards to diverge.
Values are internal, external, external_gte, or force.
wait_for_active_shards number | string

The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation. You can set it to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1). The default value of 1 means it waits for each primary shard to be active.
require_alias boolean

If true, the destination must be an index alias.

Get multiple documents Added in 1.3.0

POST /{index}/_mget

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Get multiple JSON documents by ID from one or more indices. If you specify an index in the request URI, you only need to specify the document IDs in the request body. To ensure fast responses, this multi get (mget) API responds with partial results if one or more shards fail.

Filter source fields

By default, the _source field is returned for every document (if stored). Use the _source and _source_include or source_exclude attributes to filter what fields are returned for a particular document. You can include the _source, _source_includes, and _source_excludes query parameters in the request URI to specify the defaults to use when there are no per-document instructions.

Get stored fields

Use the stored_fields attribute to specify the set of stored fields you want to retrieve. Any requested fields that are not stored are ignored. You can include the stored_fields query parameter in the request URI to specify the defaults to use when there are no per-document instructions.

Path parameters

index string Required

Name of the index to retrieve documents from when ids are specified, or when a document in the docs array does not specify an index.

Query parameters

preference string

Specifies the node or shard the operation should be performed on. Random by default.
realtime boolean

If true, the request is real-time as opposed to near-real-time.
refresh boolean

If true, the request refreshes relevant shards before retrieving documents.
routing string

Request examples

Run `GET /my-index-000001/_mget`. When you specify an index in the request URI, only the document IDs are required in the request body.

{
  "docs": [
    {
      "_id": "1"
    },
    {
      "_id": "2"
    }
  ]
}

Run `GET /_mget`. This request sets `_source` to `false` for document 1 to exclude the source entirely. It retrieves `field3` and `field4` from document 2. It retrieves the `user` field from document 3 but filters out the `user.location` field.

{
  "docs": [
    {
      "_index": "test",
      "_id": "1",
      "_source": false
    },
    {
      "_index": "test",
      "_id": "2",
      "_source": [ "field3", "field4" ]
    },
    {
      "_index": "test",
      "_id": "3",
      "_source": {
        "include": [ "user" ],
        "exclude": [ "user.location" ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Run `GET /_mget`. This request retrieves `field1` and `field2` from document 1 and `field3` and `field4` from document 2.

{
  "docs": [
    {
      "_index": "test",
      "_id": "1",
      "stored_fields": [ "field1", "field2" ]
    },
    {
      "_index": "test",
      "_id": "2",
      "stored_fields": [ "field3", "field4" ]
    }
  ]
}

Run `GET /_mget?routing=key1`. If routing is used during indexing, you need to specify the routing value to retrieve documents. This request fetches `test/_doc/2` from the shard corresponding to routing key `key1`. It fetches `test/_doc/1` from the shard corresponding to routing key `key2`.

{
  "docs": [
    {
      "_index": "test",
      "_id": "1",
      "routing": "key2"
    },
    {
      "_index": "test",
      "_id": "2"
    }
  ]
}

Get term vector information

GET /{index}/_termvectors

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Get information and statistics about terms in the fields of a particular document.

You can retrieve term vectors for documents stored in the index or for artificial documents passed in the body of the request. You can specify the fields you are interested in through the fields parameter or by adding the fields to the request body. For example:

GET /my-index-000001/_termvectors/1?fields=message

Fields can be specified using wildcards, similar to the multi match query.

Term vectors are real-time by default, not near real-time. This can be changed by setting realtime parameter to false.

You can request three types of values: term information, term statistics, and field statistics. By default, all term information and field statistics are returned for all fields but term statistics are excluded.

Term information

term frequency in the field (always returned)
term positions (positions: true)
start and end offsets (offsets: true)
term payloads (payloads: true), as base64 encoded bytes

If the requested information wasn't stored in the index, it will be computed on the fly if possible. Additionally, term vectors could be computed for documents not even existing in the index, but instead provided by the user.

Start and end offsets assume UTF-16 encoding is being used. If you want to use these offsets in order to get the original text that produced this token, you should make sure that the string you are taking a sub-string of is also encoded using UTF-16.

Behaviour

The term and field statistics are not accurate. Deleted documents are not taken into account. The information is only retrieved for the shard the requested document resides in. The term and field statistics are therefore only useful as relative measures whereas the absolute numbers have no meaning in this context. By default, when requesting term vectors of artificial documents, a shard to get the statistics from is randomly selected. Use routing only to hit a particular shard.

Path parameters

index string Required

The name of the index that contains the document.

Query parameters

fields string | array[string]

A comma-separated list or wildcard expressions of fields to include in the statistics. It is used as the default list unless a specific field list is provided in the completion_fields or fielddata_fields parameters.
field_statistics boolean
If true, the response includes:
- The document count (how many documents contain this field).
- The sum of document frequencies (the sum of document frequencies for all terms in this field).
- The sum of total term frequencies (the sum of total term frequencies of each term in this field).
offsets boolean

If true, the response includes term offsets.
payloads boolean

If true, the response includes term payloads.
positions boolean

If true, the response includes term positions.
preference string

The node or shard the operation should be performed on. It is random by default.
realtime boolean

If true, the request is real-time as opposed to near-real-time.
routing string

A custom value that is used to route operations to a specific shard.
term_statistics boolean
If true, the response includes:
- The total term frequency (how often a term occurs in all documents).
- The document frequency (the number of documents containing the current term).
By default these values are not returned since term statistics can have a serious performance impact.
version number

If true, returns the document version as part of a hit.
version_type string
The version type.

Supported values include:
- internal: Use internal versioning that starts at 1 and increments with each update or delete.
- external: Only index the document if the specified version is strictly higher than the version of the stored document or if there is no existing document.
- external_gte: Only index the document if the specified version is equal or higher than the version of the stored document or if there is no existing document. NOTE: The external_gte version type is meant for special use cases and should be used with care. If used incorrectly, it can result in loss of data.
- force: This option is deprecated because it can cause primary and replica shards to diverge.
Values are internal, external, external_gte, or force.

Request examples

Run `GET /my-index-000001/_termvectors/1` to return all information and statistics for field `text` in document 1.

{
  "fields" : ["text"],
  "offsets" : true,
  "payloads" : true,
  "positions" : true,
  "term_statistics" : true,
  "field_statistics" : true
}

Run `GET /my-index-000001/_termvectors/1` to set per-field analyzers. A different analyzer than the one at the field may be provided by using the `per_field_analyzer` parameter.

{
  "doc" : {
    "fullname" : "John Doe",
    "text" : "test test test"
  },
  "fields": ["fullname"],
  "per_field_analyzer" : {
    "fullname": "keyword"
  }
}

Run `GET /imdb/_termvectors` to filter the terms returned based on their tf-idf scores. It returns the three most "interesting" keywords from the artificial document having the given "plot" field value. Notice that the keyword "Tony" or any stop words are not part of the response, as their tf-idf must be too low.

  }
}

Run `GET /my-index-000001/_termvectors/1`. Term vectors which are not explicitly stored in the index are automatically computed on the fly. This request returns all information and statistics for the fields in document 1, even though the terms haven't been explicitly stored in the index. Note that for the field text, the terms are not regenerated.

{
  "fields" : ["text", "some_field_without_term_vectors"],
  "offsets" : true,
  "positions" : true,
  "term_statistics" : true,
  "field_statistics" : true
}

Run `GET /my-index-000001/_termvectors`. Term vectors can be generated for artificial documents, that is for documents not present in the index. If dynamic mapping is turned on (default), the document fields not in the original mapping will be dynamically created.

{
  "doc" : {
    "fullname" : "John Doe",
    "text" : "test test test"
  }

Explore graph analytics

GET /{index}/_graph/explore

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Extract and summarize information about the documents and terms in an Elasticsearch data stream or index. The easiest way to understand the behavior of this API is to use the Graph UI to explore connections. An initial request to the _explore API contains a seed query that identifies the documents of interest and specifies the fields that define the vertices and connections you want to include in the graph. Subsequent requests enable you to spider out from one more vertices of interest. You can exclude vertices that have already been returned.

External documentation

Path parameters

index string | array[string] Required

Name of the index.

Query parameters

routing string

Custom value used to route operations to a specific shard.
timeout string

Specifies the period of time to wait for a response from each shard. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to no timeout.

Delete a dangling index Added in 7.9.0

DELETE /_dangling/{index_uuid}

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

If Elasticsearch encounters index data that is absent from the current cluster state, those indices are considered to be dangling. For example, this can happen if you delete more than cluster.indices.tombstones.size indices while an Elasticsearch node is offline.

Path parameters

Update field mappings

POST /{index}/_mapping

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Add new fields to an existing data stream or index. You can also use this API to change the search settings of existing fields and add new properties to existing object fields. For data streams, these changes are applied to all backing indices by default.

Add multi-fields to an existing field

Multi-fields let you index the same field in different ways. You can use this API to update the fields mapping parameter and enable multi-fields for an existing field. WARNING: If an index (or data stream) contains documents when you add a multi-field, those documents will not have values for the new multi-field. You can populate the new multi-field with the update by query API.

Change supported mapping parameters for an existing field

The documentation for each mapping parameter indicates whether you can update it for an existing field using this API. For example, you can use the update mapping API to update the ignore_above parameter.

Change the mapping of an existing field

Except for supported mapping parameters, you can't change the mapping or field type of an existing field. Changing an existing field could invalidate data that's already indexed.

If you need to change the mapping of a field in a data stream's backing indices, refer to documentation about modifying data streams. If you need to change the mapping of a field in other indices, create a new index with the correct mapping and reindex your data into that index.

Rename a field

Renaming a field would invalidate data already indexed under the old field name. Instead, add an alias field to create an alternate field name.

Request example

The update mapping API can be applied to multiple data streams or indices with a single request. For example, run `PUT /my-index-000001,my-index-000002/_mapping` to update mappings for the `my-index-000001` and `my-index-000002` indices at the same time.

{
  "properties": {
    "user": {
      "properties": {
        "name": {
          "type": "keyword"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Update index settings

PUT /_settings

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Changes dynamic index settings in real time. For data streams, index setting changes are applied to all backing indices by default.

To revert a setting to the default value, use a null value. The list of per-index settings that can be updated dynamically on live indices can be found in index module documentation. To preserve existing settings from being updated, set the preserve_existing parameter to true.

NOTE: You can only define new analyzers on closed indices. To add an analyzer, you must close the index, define the analyzer, and reopen the index. You cannot close the write index of a data stream. To update the analyzer for a data stream's write index and future backing indices, update the analyzer in the index template used by the stream. Then roll over the data stream to apply the new analyzer to the stream's write index and future backing indices. This affects searches and any new data added to the stream after the rollover. However, it does not affect the data stream's backing indices or their existing data. To change the analyzer for existing backing indices, you must create a new data stream and reindex your data into it.

  If specified, this is the timestamp used to calculate the index age for its phase transitions. Use this setting if you create a new index that contains old data and want to use the original creation date to calculate the index age. Specified as a Unix epoch value in milliseconds.
- parse_origination_date boolean
  
  Set to true to parse the origination date from the index name. This origination date is used to calculate the index age for its phase transitions. The index name must match the pattern ^{.*-{date_format}-\d+,} where the date_format is yyyy.MM.dd and the trailing digits are optional. An index that was rolled over would normally match the full format, for example logs-2016.10.31-000002). If the index name doesn’t match the pattern, index creation fails.

  limit number | string
  
  The maximum number of fields in an index. Field and object mappings, as well as field aliases count towards this limit. The limit is in place to prevent mappings and searches from becoming too large. Higher values can lead to performance degradations and memory issues, especially in clusters with a high load or few resources.
  
  One of:
  number-1 number string-2 string
  
  ignore_dynamic_beyond_limit boolean | string
  
  This setting determines what happens when a dynamically mapped field would exceed the total fields limit. When set to false (the default), the index request of the document that tries to add a dynamic field to the mapping will fail with the message Limit of total fields [X] has been exceeded. When set to true, the index request will not fail. Instead, fields that would exceed the limit are not added to the mapping, similar to dynamic: false. The fields that were not added to the mapping will be added to the _ignored field.

- nested_fields object
  Hide nested_fields attribute Show nested_fields attribute object
  
  limit number
  
  The maximum number of distinct nested mappings in an index. The nested type should only be used in special cases, when arrays of objects need to be queried independently of each other. To safeguard against poorly designed mappings, this setting limits the number of unique nested types per index.
- nested_objects object
  Hide nested_objects attribute Show nested_objects attribute object
  
  limit number
  
  The maximum number of nested JSON objects that a single document can contain across all nested types. This limit helps to prevent out of memory errors when a document contains too many nested objects.
- field_name_length object
  Hide field_name_length attribute Show field_name_length attribute object
  
  limit number
  
  Setting for the maximum length of a field name. This setting isn’t really something that addresses mappings explosion but might still be useful if you want to limit the field length. It usually shouldn’t be necessary to set this setting. The default is okay unless a user starts to add a huge number of fields with really long names. Default is Long.MAX_VALUE (no limit).

- allow_mmap boolean
  
  You can restrict the use of the mmapfs and the related hybridfs store type via the setting node.store.allow_mmap. This is a boolean setting indicating whether or not memory-mapping is allowed. The default is to allow it. This setting is useful, for example, if you are in an environment where you can not control the ability to create a lot of memory maps so you need disable the ability to use memory-mapping.

POST /my-index-000001/_open

Get index settings

GET /{index}/_settings

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Get setting information for one or more indices. For data streams, it returns setting information for the stream's backing indices.

Path parameters

index string | array[string] Required

Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request. Supports wildcards (*). To target all data streams and indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.

Query parameters

allow_no_indices boolean

If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
expand_wildcards string | array[string]
Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

Supported values include:
- all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
- open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
- closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.
- hidden: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined with open, closed, or both.
- none: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.
flat_settings boolean

If true, returns settings in flat format.
ignore_unavailable boolean

If false, the request returns an error if it targets a missing or closed index.
include_defaults boolean

If true, return all default settings in the response.
local boolean

If true, the request retrieves information from the local node only. If false, information is retrieved from the master node.
master_timeout string

Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

Update index settings

PUT /{index}/_settings

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

Changes dynamic index settings in real time. For data streams, index setting changes are applied to all backing indices by default.

To revert a setting to the default value, use a null value. The list of per-index settings that can be updated dynamically on live indices can be found in index module documentation. To preserve existing settings from being updated, set the preserve_existing parameter to true.

NOTE: You can only define new analyzers on closed indices. To add an analyzer, you must close the index, define the analyzer, and reopen the index. You cannot close the write index of a data stream. To update the analyzer for a data stream's write index and future backing indices, update the analyzer in the index template used by the stream. Then roll over the data stream to apply the new analyzer to the stream's write index and future backing indices. This affects searches and any new data added to the stream after the rollover. However, it does not affect the data stream's backing indices or their existing data. To change the analyzer for existing backing indices, you must create a new data stream and reindex your data into it.

Path parameters

index string | array[string] Required

Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and aliases used to limit the request. Supports wildcards (*). To target all data streams and indices, omit this parameter or use * or _all.

Query parameters

allow_no_indices boolean

If false, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression, index alias, or _all value targets only missing or closed indices. This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For example, a request targeting foo*,bar* returns an error if an index starts with foo but no index starts with bar.
expand_wildcards string | array[string]
Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as open,hidden.

Supported values include:
- all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.
- open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.
- closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.
- hidden: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined with open, closed, or both.
- none: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.
flat_settings boolean

If true, returns settings in flat format.
ignore_unavailable boolean

If true, returns settings in flat format.
master_timeout string

Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.
preserve_existing boolean

If true, existing index settings remain unchanged.
reopen boolean

Whether to close and reopen the index to apply non-dynamic settings. If set to true the indices to which the settings are being applied will be closed temporarily and then reopened in order to apply the changes.
timeout string

Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.

  limit number | string
  
  The maximum number of fields in an index. Field and object mappings, as well as field aliases count towards this limit. The limit is in place to prevent mappings and searches from becoming too large. Higher values can lead to performance degradations and memory issues, especially in clusters with a high load or few resources.

  ignore_dynamic_beyond_limit boolean | string
  
  This setting determines what happens when a dynamically mapped field would exceed the total fields limit. When set to false (the default), the index request of the document that tries to add a dynamic field to the mapping will fail with the message Limit of total fields [X] has been exceeded. When set to true, the index request will not fail. Instead, fields that would exceed the limit are not added to the mapping, similar to dynamic: false. The fields that were not added to the mapping will be added to the _ignored field.

- nested_fields object
  Hide nested_fields attribute Show nested_fields attribute object
  
  limit number
  
  The maximum number of distinct nested mappings in an index. The nested type should only be used in special cases, when arrays of objects need to be queried independently of each other. To safeguard against poorly designed mappings, this setting limits the number of unique nested types per index.
- nested_objects object
  Hide nested_objects attribute Show nested_objects attribute object
  
  limit number
  
  The maximum number of nested JSON objects that a single document can contain across all nested types. This limit helps to prevent out of memory errors when a document contains too many nested objects.
- field_name_length object
  Hide field_name_length attribute Show field_name_length attribute object
  
  limit number
  
  Setting for the maximum length of a field name. This setting isn’t really something that addresses mappings explosion but might still be useful if you want to limit the field length. It usually shouldn’t be necessary to set this setting. The default is okay unless a user starts to add a huge number of fields with really long names. Default is Long.MAX_VALUE (no limit).

  limit number | string
  
  The maximum number of fields in an index. Field and object mappings, as well as field aliases count towards this limit. The limit is in place to prevent mappings and searches from becoming too large. Higher values can lead to performance degradations and memory issues, especially in clusters with a high load or few resources.
  
  One of:
  number-1 number string-2 string
  
  ignore_dynamic_beyond_limit boolean | string
  
  This setting determines what happens when a dynamically mapped field would exceed the total fields limit. When set to false (the default), the index request of the document that tries to add a dynamic field to the mapping will fail with the message Limit of total fields [X] has been exceeded. When set to true, the index request will not fail. Instead, fields that would exceed the limit are not added to the mapping, similar to dynamic: false. The fields that were not added to the mapping will be added to the _ignored field.

  nested_fields object
  
  Hide nested_fields attribute Show nested_fields attribute object
  
  limit number
  
  The maximum number of distinct nested mappings in an index. The nested type should only be used in special cases, when arrays of objects need to be queried independently of each other. To safeguard against poorly designed mappings, this setting limits the number of unique nested types per index.
  
  nested_objects object
  
  Hide nested_objects attribute Show nested_objects attribute object
  
  limit number
  
  The maximum number of nested JSON objects that a single document can contain across all nested types. This limit helps to prevent out of memory errors when a document contains too many nested objects.
  
  field_name_length object
  
  Hide field_name_length attribute Show field_name_length attribute object
  
  limit number
  
  Setting for the maximum length of a field name. This setting isn’t really something that addresses mappings explosion but might still be useful if you want to limit the field length. It usually shouldn’t be necessary to set this setting. The default is okay unless a user starts to add a huge number of fields with really long names. Default is Long.MAX_VALUE (no limit).

  Values are fs, niofs, mmapfs, or hybridfs.
  
  allow_mmap boolean
  
  You can restrict the use of the mmapfs and the related hybridfs store type via the setting node.store.allow_mmap. This is a boolean setting indicating whether or not memory-mapping is allowed. The default is to allow it. This setting is useful, for example, if you are in an environment where you can not control the ability to create a lot of memory maps so you need disable the ability to use memory-mapping.

  limit number | string
  
  The maximum number of fields in an index. Field and object mappings, as well as field aliases count towards this limit. The limit is in place to prevent mappings and searches from becoming too large. Higher values can lead to performance degradations and memory issues, especially in clusters with a high load or few resources.
  
  One of:

  ignore_dynamic_beyond_limit boolean | string
  
  This setting determines what happens when a dynamically mapped field would exceed the total fields limit. When set to false (the default), the index request of the document that tries to add a dynamic field to the mapping will fail with the message Limit of total fields [X] has been exceeded. When set to true, the index request will not fail. Instead, fields that would exceed the limit are not added to the mapping, similar to dynamic: false. The fields that were not added to the mapping will be added to the _ignored field.

  nested_fields object
  
  Hide nested_fields attribute Show nested_fields attribute object
  
  limit number
  
  The maximum number of distinct nested mappings in an index. The nested type should only be used in special cases, when arrays of objects need to be queried independently of each other. To safeguard against poorly designed mappings, this setting limits the number of unique nested types per index.
  
  nested_objects object
  
  Hide nested_objects attribute Show nested_objects attribute object

  Hide field_name_length attribute Show field_name_length attribute object
  
  limit number
  
  Setting for the maximum length of a field name. This setting isn’t really something that addresses mappings explosion but might still be useful if you want to limit the field length. It usually shouldn’t be necessary to set this setting. The default is okay unless a user starts to add a huge number of fields with really long names. Default is Long.MAX_VALUE (no limit).

Roll over to a new index Added in 5.0.0

POST /{alias}/_rollover/{new_index}

Api key auth Basic auth Bearer auth

TIP: It is recommended to use the index lifecycle rollover action to automate rollovers.

The rollover API creates a new index for a data stream or index alias. The API behavior depends on the rollover target.

Roll over a data stream

If you roll over a data stream, the API creates a new write index for the stream. The stream's previous write index becomes a regular backing index. A rollover also increments the data stream's generation.

Roll over an index alias with a write index

TIP: Prior to Elasticsearch 7.9, you'd typically use an index alias with a write index to manage time series data. Data streams replace this functionality, require less maintenance, and automatically integrate with data tiers.

If an index alias points to multiple indices, one of the indices must be a write index. The rollover API creates a new write index for the alias with is_write_index set to true. The API also sets is_write_index to false for the previous write index.

Roll over an index alias with one index

If you roll over an index alias that points to only one index, the API creates a new index for the alias and removes the original index from the alias.

NOTE: A rollover creates a new index and is subject to the wait_for_active_shards setting.

Increment index names for an alias

When you roll over an index alias, you can specify a name for the new index. If you don't specify a name and the current index ends with - and a number, such as my-index-000001 or my-index-3, the new index name increments that number. For example, if you roll over an alias with a current index of my-index-000001, the rollover creates a new index named my-index-000002. This number is always six characters and zero-padded, regardless of the previous index's name.

If you use an index alias for time series data, you can use date math in the index name to track the rollover date. For example, you can create an alias that points to an index named <my-index-{now/d}-000001>. If you create the index on May 6, 2099, the index's name is my-index-2099.05.06-000001. If you roll over the alias on May 7, 2099, the new index's name is my-index-2099.05.07-000002.

Path parameters

Name of the data stream or index alias to roll over.
new_index string Required

Name of the index to create. Supports date math. Data streams do not support this parameter.

Query parameters

dry_run boolean

If true, checks whether the current index satisfies the specified conditions but does not perform a rollover.
master_timeout string

Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.
timeout string

Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.
wait_for_active_shards number | string

The number of shard copies that must be active before proceeding with the operation. Set to all or any positive integer up to the total number of shards in the index (number_of_replicas+1).
lazy boolean

If set to true, the rollover action will only mark a data stream to signal that it needs to be rolled over at the next write. Only allowed on data streams.
