=== Get rollup jobs API
=== Get {rollup-jobs} API
++++
<titleabbrev>Get job</titleabbrev>

Retrieves the configuration, stats, and status of {rollup-jobs}.
experimental[]
This API returns the configuration, stats and status of rollup jobs. The API can return the details for a single job,
or for all jobs.
Note: This API only returns active (both `STARTED` and `STOPPED`) jobs. If a job was created, ran for a while then deleted,
this API will not return any details about that job.
For details about a historical job, the <<rollup-get-rollup-caps,Rollup Capabilities API>> may be more useful
==== Request
[[rollup-get-job-request]]
==== {api-request-title}
`GET _rollup/job/<job_id>`
//===== Description
[[rollup-get-job-prereqs]]
==== {api-prereq-title}
==== Path Parameters
* You must have `monitor`, `monitor_rollup`, `manage` or `manage_rollup` cluster
privileges to use this API. For more information, see
{stack-ov}/security-privileges.html[Security privileges].
`job_id`::
(string) Identifier for the job to retrieve. If omitted (or `_all` is used) all jobs will be returned
[[rollup-get-job-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
The API can return the details for a single {rollup-job} or for all {rollup-jobs}.
==== Request Body
NOTE: This API returns only active (both `STARTED` and `STOPPED`) jobs. If a job
was created, ran for a while then deleted, this API does not return any details
about that job.
There is no request body for the Get Jobs API.
For details about a historical {rollup-job}, the
<<rollup-get-rollup-caps,rollup capabilities API>> may be more useful.
==== Authorization
[[rollup-get-job-path-params]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}
You must have `monitor`, `monitor_rollup`, `manage` or `manage_rollup` cluster privileges to use this API.
For more information, see
{xpack-ref}/security-privileges.html[Security Privileges].
`<job_id>`::
(Optional, string) Identifier for the {rollup-job}. If it is `_all` or omitted,
the API returns all {rollup-jobs}.
==== Examples
[[rollup-get-job-response-body]]
==== {api-response-body-title}
If we have already created a rollup job named `sensor`, the details about the job can be retrieved with:
`jobs`::
(array) An array of {rollup-job} resources.
`config`:::
(object) Contains the configuration for the {rollup-job}. This information
is identical to the configuration that was supplied when creating the job
via the <<rollup-put-job,create job API>>.
`status`:::
(object) Contains the current status of the indexer for the {rollup-job}.
The possible values and their meanings are:
+
--
- `stopped` means the indexer is paused and will not process data, even if its
cron interval triggers.
- `started` means the indexer is running, but not actively indexing data. When
the cron interval triggers, the job's indexer will begin to process data.
- `indexing` means the indexer is actively processing data and creating new
rollup documents. When in this state, any subsequent cron interval triggers will
be ignored because the job is already active with the prior trigger.
- `abort` is a transient state, which is usually not witnessed by the user. It
is used if the task needs to be shut down for some reason (job has been deleted,
an unrecoverable error has been encountered, etc). Shortly after the `abort`
state is set, the job will remove itself from the cluster.
--
`stats`:::
(object) Contains transient statistics about the {rollup-job}, such as how
many documents have been processed and how many rollup summary docs have
been indexed. These stats are not persisted. If a node is restarted, these
stats will be reset.

The `jobs` array contains a single job (`id: sensor`) since we requested a single job in the endpoint's URL. The
details for this job contain three top-level parameters: `config`, `status` and `stats`
`config` holds the rollup job's configuration, which is identical to the configuration that was supplied when creating
the job via the <<rollup-put-job,Create Job API>>.
The `status` object holds the current status of the rollup job's indexer. The possible values and their meanings are:
- `stopped` means the indexer is paused and will not process data, even if it's cron interval triggers
- `started` means the indexer is running, but not actively indexing data. When the cron interval triggers, the job's
indexer will begin to process data
- `indexing` means the indexer is actively processing data and creating new rollup documents. When in this state, any
subsequent cron interval triggers will be ignored because the job is already active with the prior trigger
- `abort` a transient state, which is usually not witnessed by the user. The `abort` state is used if the task needs to
be shut down for some reason (job has been deleted, an unrecoverable error has been encountered, etc). Shortly after
the `abort` state is set, the job will remove itself from the cluster
Finally, the `stats` object provides transient statistics about the rollup job, such as how many documents have been
processed and how many rollup summary docs have been indexed. These stats are not persisted, so if a node is restarted
these stats will be reset.
The `jobs` array contains a single job (`id: sensor`) since we requested a single job in the endpoint's URL.
If we add another job, we can see how multi-job responses are handled:
