You can specify the following options.
| Options | Description | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
source_index | The name of the detector. | String | Yes |
target_index | Specify the target index that the rolled up data is ingested into. You can either create a new target index or use an existing index. The target index cannot be a combination of raw and rolled up data. This field supports dynamically generated index names like rollup_{{ctx.source_index}}, where source_index cannot contain wildcards. | String | Yes |
schedule | Schedule of the index rollup job which can be an interval or a cron expression. | Object | Yes |
schedule.interval | Specify the frequency of execution of the rollup job. | Object | No |
schedule.interval.start_time | Start time of the interval. | Timestamp | Yes |
schedule.interval.period | Define the interval period. | String | Yes |
schedule.interval.unit | Specify the time unit of the interval. | String | Yes |
schedule.interval.cron | Optionally, specify a cron expression to define therollup frequency. | List | No |
schedule.interval.cron.expression | Specify a Unix cron expression. | String | Yes |
schedule.interval.cron.timezone | Specify timezones as defined by the IANA Time Zone Database. Defaults to UTC. | String | No |
description | Optionally, describe the rollup job. | String | No |
enabled | When true, the index rollup job is scheduled. Default is true. | Boolean | Yes |
continuous | Specify whether or not the index rollup job continuously rolls up data forever or executes over the current dataset once and stops. Default is false. | Boolean | Yes |
error_notification | Set up a Mustache message template for error notifications. For example, if an index rollup job fails, the system sends a message to a Slack channel. | Object | No |
page_size | Specify the number of buckets to paginate at a time during rollup. | Number | Yes |
delay | The number of milliseconds to delay execution of the index rollup job. | Long | No |
dimensions | Specify aggregations to create dimensions for the roll up time window. Supported groups are terms, histogram, and date_histogram. For more information, see Bucket Aggregations. | Array | Yes |
metrics | Specify a list of objects that represent the fields and metrics that you want to calculate. Supported metrics are sum, max, min, value_count and avg. For more information, see Metric Aggregations. | Array | No |
