Create anomaly detector
Introduced 1.0
Creates an anomaly detector.
This command creates a single-entity detector named test-detector that finds anomalies based on the sum of the value field and stores the result in a custom opensearch-ad-plugin-result-test index:

Validate detector
Introduced 1.2
Returns whether the detector configuration has any issues that might prevent OpenSearch from creating the detector.
You can use the validate detector API operation to identify issues in your detector configuration before creating the detector.
The request body consists of the detector configuration and follows the same format as the request body of the create detector API.
You have the following validation options:
- Only validate against the detector configuration and find any issues that would completely block detector creation:
POST _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/_validate
POST _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/_validate/detector
- Validate against the source data to see how likely the detector would complete model training.
POST _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/_validate/model
Responses from this API operation return either blocking issues as detector type responses or a response indicating a field that could be revised to increase likelihood of model training completing successfully. Model type issues don’t need to be fixed for detector creation to succeed, but the detector would likely not train successfully if they aren’t addressed.
Request
POST _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/_validate

{
"name": "test-detector",
"description": "Test detector",

{
"feature_name": "test",
"feature_enabled": true,
"aggregation_query": {
"test": {

}
}
}
}
],
"filter_query": {
"bool": {
"filter": [
{

"value": {

}
}
}
],
"adjust_pure_negative": true,

}
},

"interval": 1,
"unit": "Minutes"
}
},
"window_delay": {
"period": {
"interval": 1,
"unit": "Minutes"
}
}
}
If the validate detector API doesn’t find any issue in the detector configuration, it returns an empty response:
Example response
{}
If the validate detector API finds an issue, it returns a message explaining what’s wrong with the configuration. In this example, the feature query aggregates over a field that doesn’t exist in the data source:
Example response
{
"detector": {
"feature_attributes": {
"message": "Feature has invalid query returning empty aggregated data: average_total_rev",
"sub_issues": {
"average_total_rev": "Feature has invalid query returning empty aggregated data"
}
}
}
}
The following request validates against the source data to see if model training might succeed. In this example, the data is ingested at a rate of every 5 minutes, and detector interval is set to 1 minute.
POST _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/_validate/model
{
"name": "test-detector",
"description": "Test detector",
"time_field": "timestamp",
"indices": [
"server_log*"
],
"feature_attributes": [
{
"feature_name": "test",
"feature_enabled": true,
"aggregation_query": {
"test": {
"sum": {
"field": "value"
}
}
}
}
],
"filter_query": {
"bool": {
"filter": [
{
"range": {
"value": {
"gt": 1
}
}
}
],
"adjust_pure_negative": true,
"boost": 1
}
},
"detection_interval": {
"period": {
"interval": 1,
"unit": "Minutes"
}
},
"window_delay": {
"period": {
"interval": 1,
"unit": "Minutes"
}
}
}
If the validate detector API finds areas of improvement with your configuration, it returns a response with suggestions about how you can change your configuration to improve model training.
Sample Responses
In this example, the validate detector API returns a response indicating that changing the detector interval length to at least four minutes can increase the chances of successful model training.
{
"model": {
"detection_interval": {
"message": "The selected detector interval might collect sparse data. Consider changing interval length to: 4",
"suggested_value": {
"period": {
"interval": 4,
"unit": "Minutes"
}
}
}
}
}
Another response might indicate that you can change filter_query (data filter) because the currently filtered data is too sparse for the model to train correctly, which can happen because the index is also ingesting data that falls outside the chosen filter. Using another filter_query can make your data more dense.
{
"model": {
"filter_query": {
"message": "Data is too sparse after data filter is applied. Consider changing the data filter"
}
}
}

A “job” is something that you schedule to run periodically, so it’s only applicable for real-time anomaly detection and not historical analysis that you run just one time.
When you start a real-time detector, the anomaly detection plugin creates a job or if the job already exists updates it. When you start or a restart a real-time detector, the plugin creates a new real-time task that records run-time information like detector configuration snapshot, real-time job states (initializing/running/stopped), init progress, and so on.
A single detector can only have one real-time job (job ID is the same as detector ID), but it can have multiple real-time tasks because each restart of a real-time job creates a new real-time task. You can limit the number of real-time tasks with the plugins.anomaly_detection.max_old_ad_task_docs_per_detector setting.
Historical analysis doesn’t have an associated job. When you start or rerun historical analysis for a detector, the anomaly detection plugin creates a new historical batch task that tracks the historical analysis runtime information like state, coordinating/worker node, task progress, and so on. You can limit the historical task number with the plugins.anomaly_detection.max_old_ad_task_docs_per_detector setting.
Use job=true to get real-time analysis task information.

Update detector
Introduced 1.0
Updates a detector with any changes, including the description or adding or removing of features. To update a detector, you need to first stop both real-time detection and historical analysis.
You can’t update a category field.

Search detector result
Introduced 1.0
Returns all results for a search query.
You have the following search options:
-
To search only the default result index, simply use the search API:
POST _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/results/_search/ -
To search both the custom result index and default result index, you can either add the custom result index to the search API:
POST _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/results/_search/<custom_result_index>Or, add the custom result index and set the
only_query_custom_result_indexparameter tofalse:POST _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/results/_search/<custom_result_index>?only_query_custom_result_index=false -
To search only the custom result index, add the custom result index to the search API and set the
only_query_custom_result_indexparameter totrue:POST _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/results/_search/<custom_result_index>?only_query_custom_result_index=true
The following example searches anomaly results for grade greater than 0 for real-time analysis:
Request
GET _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/results/_search/opensearch-ad-plugin-result-test
POST _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/results/_search/opensearch-ad-plugin-result-test
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": [
{
"term": {
"detector_id": "EWy02nwBm38sXcF2AiFJ"
}
},
{
"range": {
"anomaly_grade": {
"gt": 0
}
}
}
],
"must_not": [
{
"exists": {
"field": "task_id"
}
}
]
}
}
}
If you specify the custom result index like in this example, the search results API searches both the default result indices and custom result indices.
If you don’t specify the custom result index and you just use the _plugins/_anomaly_detection/detectors/results/_search URL, the anomaly detection plugin searches only the default result indices.
Real-time detection doesn’t persist the task ID in the anomaly result, so the task ID will be null.
For information about the response body fields, see Anomaly result mapping.

You can run historical analysis as many times as you like. So, multiple tasks might exist for the same detector.
You can search for the latest historical batch task first and then search the historical batch task results.

You can see the ad_task field only for historical analysis.
The model_count parameter shows the total number of models that a detector runs on each node’s memory. This is useful if you have several models running on your cluster and want to know the count.
If you configured the category field, you can see the number of unique values in the field and all active entities with models running in memory.
You can use this data to estimate how much memory is required for anomaly detection so you can decide how to size your cluster. For example, if a detector has one million entities and only 10 of them are active in memory, you need to scale your cluster up or out.

The total_entities parameter shows you the total number of entities including the number of category fields for a detector.
Getting the total count of entities is an expensive operation for real-time analysis of a detector with more than one category field. By default, for a real-time detection profile, a detector counts the number of entities up to a value of 10,000. For historical analysis, the anomaly detection plugin only detects the top 1,000 entities by default and caches the top entities in memory, so it doesn’t cost much to get the total count of entities for historical analysis.
The profile operation also provides information about each entity, such as the entity’s last_sample_timestamp and last_active_timestamp. last_sample_timestamp shows the last document in the input data source index containing the entity, while last_active_timestamp shows the timestamp when the entity’s model was last seen in the model cache.
If there are no anomaly results for an entity, either the entity doesn’t have any sample data or resources such as memory and disk IO are constrained relative to the number of entities.
