++++
<titleabbrev>Get jobs</titleabbrev>
++++

Retrieves configuration information for {anomaly-jobs}.

[[ml-get-job-request]]
==== {api-request-title}

`GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>` +

`GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>,<job_id>` +

`GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/` +

`GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/_all`

[[ml-get-job-prereqs]]
==== {api-prereq-title}

* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have `monitor_ml`,
`monitor`, `manage_ml`, or `manage` cluster privileges to use this API. See
<<security-privileges>>.

[[ml-get-job-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}

You can get information for multiple {anomaly-jobs} in a single API request by
using a group name, a comma-separated list of jobs, or a wildcard expression.
You can get information for all {anomaly-jobs} by using `_all`, by specifying
`*` as the `<job_id>`, or by omitting the `<job_id>`.

IMPORTANT: This API returns a maximum of 10,000 jobs. 

[[ml-get-job-path-parms]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}

`<job_id>`::
(Optional, string)
include::{docdir}/ml/ml-shared.asciidoc[tag=job-id-anomaly-detection-default]

[[ml-get-job-query-parms]]
==== {api-query-parms-title}

`allow_no_jobs`::
(Optional, boolean)
include::{docdir}/ml/ml-shared.asciidoc[tag=allow-no-jobs]

[[ml-get-job-results]]
==== {api-response-body-title}

The API returns an array of {anomaly-job} resources. For the full list of
properties, see <<ml-put-job-request-body,create {anomaly-jobs} API>>.

`create_time`::
(string) The time the job was created. For example, `1491007356077`. This
property is informational; you cannot change its value.
  
`finished_time`::
(string) If the job closed or failed, this is the time the job finished.
Otherwise, it is `null`. This property is informational; you cannot change its
value.

`job_type`::
(string) Reserved for future use, currently set to `anomaly_detector`.

`job_version`::
(string) The version of {es} that existed on the node when the job was created.

`model_snapshot_id`::
(string)
include::{docdir}/ml/ml-shared.asciidoc[tag=snapshot-id]

[[ml-get-job-response-codes]]
==== {api-response-codes-title}

`404` (Missing resources)::
  If `allow_no_jobs` is `false`, this code indicates that there are no 
  resources that match the request or only partial matches for the request.
