You must also have `read` and `view_index_metadata` privileges on the source index and `read`, `create_index`, and `index` privileges on the destination index. For more information, see <> and <>. [[ml-put-dfanalytics-desc]] ==== {api-description-title} This API creates a {dfanalytics-job} that performs an analysis on the source index and stores the outcome in a destination index. The destination index will be automatically created if it does not exist. The `index.number_of_shards` and `index.number_of_replicas` settings of the source index will be copied over the destination index. When the source index matches multiple indices, these settings will be set to the maximum values found in the source indices. The mappings of the source indices are also attempted to be copied over to the destination index, however, if the mappings of any of the fields don't match among the source indices, the attempt will fail with an error message. If the destination index already exists, then it will be use as is. This makes it possible to set up the destination index in advance with custom settings and mappings. [[ml-put-dfanalytics-supported-fields]] ===== Supported fields ====== {oldetection-cap} {oldetection-cap} requires numeric or boolean data to analyze. The algorithms don't support missing values therefore fields that have data types other than numeric or boolean are ignored. Documents where included fields contain missing values, null values, or an array are also ignored. Therefore the `dest` index may contain documents that don't have an {olscore}. ====== {regression-cap} {regression-cap} supports fields that are numeric, `boolean`, `text`, `keyword`, and `ip`. It is also tolerant of missing values. Fields that are supported are included in the analysis, other fields are ignored. Documents where included fields contain an array with two or more values are also ignored. Documents in the `dest` index that don’t contain a results field are not included in the {reganalysis}. ====== {classification-cap} {classification-cap} supports fields that are numeric, `boolean`, `text`, `keyword`, and `ip`. It is also tolerant of missing values. Fields that are supported are included in the analysis, other fields are ignored. Documents where included fields contain an array with two or more values are also ignored. Documents in the `dest` index that don’t contain a results field are not included in the {classanalysis}. {classanalysis-cap} can be improved by mapping ordinal variable values to a single number. For example, in case of age ranges, you can model the values as "0-14" = 0, "15-24" = 1, "25-34" = 2, and so on. [[ml-put-dfanalytics-path-params]] ==== {api-path-parms-title} ``:: (Required, string) A numerical character string that uniquely identifies the {dfanalytics-job}. This identifier can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters. [[ml-put-dfanalytics-request-body]] ==== {api-request-body-title} `analysis`:: (Required, object) Defines the type of {dfanalytics} you want to perform on your source index. For example: `outlier_detection`. See <>. `analyzed_fields`:: (Optional, object) You can specify both `includes` and/or `excludes` patterns. If `analyzed_fields` is not set, only the relevant fields will be included. For example, all the numeric fields for {oldetection}. For the supported field types, see <>. If you specify fields – either in `includes` or in `excludes` – that have a data type that is not supported, an error occurs. `includes`::: (Optional, array) An array of strings that defines the fields that will be included in the analysis. `excludes`::: (Optional, array) An array of strings that defines the fields that will be excluded from the analysis. You do not need to add fields with unsupported data types to `excludes`, these fields are excluded from the analysis automatically. `description`:: (Optional, string) A description of the job. `dest`:: (Required, object) The destination configuration, consisting of `index` and optionally `results_field` (`ml` by default). `index`::: (Required, string) Defines the _destination index_ to store the results of the {dfanalytics-job}. `results_field`::: (Optional, string) Defines the name of the field in which to store the results of the analysis. Default to `ml`. `model_memory_limit`:: (Optional, string) The approximate maximum amount of memory resources that are permitted for analytical processing. The default value for {dfanalytics-jobs} is `1gb`. If your `elasticsearch.yml` file contains an `xpack.ml.max_model_memory_limit` setting, an error occurs when you try to create {dfanalytics-jobs} that have `model_memory_limit` values greater than that setting. For more information, see <>. `source`:: (Required, object) The source configuration, consisting of `index` and optionally a `query`. `index`::: (Required, string or array) Index or indices on which to perform the analysis. It can be a single index or index pattern as well as an array of indices or patterns. `query`::: (Optional, object) The {es} query domain-specific language (<>). This value corresponds to the query object in an {es} search POST body. All the options that are supported by {es} can be used, as this object is passed verbatim to {es}. By default, this property has the following value: `{"match_all": {}}`. `allow_lazy_start`:: (Optional, boolean) Whether this job should be allowed to start when there is insufficient {ml} node capacity for it to be immediately assigned to a node. The default is `false`, which means that the <> will return an error if a {ml} node with capacity to run the job cannot immediately be found. (However, this is also subject to the cluster-wide `xpack.ml.max_lazy_ml_nodes` setting - see <>.) If this option is set to `true` then the <> will not return an error, and the job will wait in the `starting` state until sufficient {ml} node capacity is available.
