[[snapshot-lifecycle-management-api]]
|
|
== Snapshot lifecycle management API
|
|
|
|
The Snapshot Lifecycle Management APIs are used to manage policies for the time
|
|
and frequency of automatic snapshots. Snapshot Lifecycle Management is related
|
|
to <<index-lifecycle-management,Index Lifecycle Management>>, however, instead
|
|
of managing a lifecycle of actions that are performed on a single index, SLM
|
|
allows configuring policies spanning multiple indices.
|
|
|
|
SLM policy management is split into three different CRUD APIs, a way to put or update
|
|
policies, a way to retrieve policies, and a way to delete unwanted policies, as
|
|
well as a separate API for immediately invoking a snapshot based on a policy.
|
|
|
|
Since SLM falls under the same category as ILM, it is stopped and started by
|
|
using the <<start-stop-ilm,start and stop>> ILM APIs. It is, however, managed
|
|
by a different enable setting. To disable SLM's functionality, set the cluster
|
|
setting `xpack.slm.enabled` to `false` in elasticsearch.yml.
|
|
|
|
[[slm-api-put]]
|
|
=== Put Snapshot Lifecycle Policy API
|
|
|
|
Creates or updates a snapshot policy. If the policy already exists, the version
|
|
is incremented. Only the latest version of a policy is stored.
|
|
|
|
When a policy is created it is immediately scheduled based on the schedule of
|
|
the policy, when a policy is updated its schedule changes are immediately
|
|
applied.
|
|
|
|
==== Path Parameters
|
|
|
|
`policy_id` (required)::
|
|
(string) Identifier (id) for the policy.
|
|
|
|
==== Request Parameters
|
|
|
|
include::{docdir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=timeoutparms]
|
|
|
|
==== Authorization
|
|
|
|
You must have the `manage_slm` cluster privilege to use this API. You must also
|
|
have the `manage` index privilege on all indices being managed by `policy`. All
|
|
operations executed by {slm} for a policy are executed as the user that put the
|
|
latest version of a policy. For more information, see
|
|
{stack-ov}/security-privileges.html[Security Privileges].
|
|
|
|
==== Example
|
|
|
|
The following creates a snapshot lifecycle policy with an id of
|
|
`daily-snapshots`:
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT /_slm/policy/daily-snapshots
|
|
{
|
|
"schedule": "0 30 1 * * ?", <1>
|
|
"name": "<daily-snap-{now/d}>", <2>
|
|
"repository": "my_repository", <3>
|
|
"config": { <4>
|
|
"indices": ["data-*", "important"], <5>
|
|
"ignore_unavailable": false,
|
|
"include_global_state": false
|
|
},
|
|
"retention": {}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TEST[setup:setup-repository]
|
|
|
|
<1> When the snapshot should be taken, in this case, 1:30am daily
|
|
<2> The name each snapshot should be given
|
|
<3> Which repository to take the snapshot in
|
|
<4> Any extra snapshot configuration
|
|
<5> Which indices the snapshot should contain
|
|
|
|
The top-level keys that the policy supports are described below:
|
|
|
|
|==================
|
|
| Key | Description
|
|
|
|
| `schedule` | A periodic or absolute time schedule. Supports all values
|
|
supported by the cron scheduler:
|
|
{xpack-ref}/trigger-schedule.html#schedule-cron[Cron scheduler configuration]
|
|
|
|
| `name` | A name automatically given to each snapshot performed by this policy.
|
|
Supports the same <<date-math-index-names,date math>> supported in index
|
|
names. A UUID is automatically appended to the end of the name to prevent
|
|
conflicting snapshot names.
|
|
|
|
| `repository` | The snapshot repository that will contain snapshots created by
|
|
this policy. The repository must exist prior to the policy's creation and can
|
|
be created with the <<modules-snapshots,snapshot repository API>>.
|
|
|
|
| `config` | Configuration for each snapshot that will be created by this
|
|
policy. Any configuration is included with <<modules-snapshots,create snapshot
|
|
requests>> issued by this policy.
|
|
|==================
|
|
|
|
To update an existing policy, simply use the put snapshot lifecycle policy API
|
|
with the same policy id as an existing policy.
|
|
|
|
[[slm-api-get]]
|
|
=== Get Snapshot Lifecycle Policy API
|
|
|
|
Once a policy is in place, you can retrieve one or more of the policies using
|
|
the get snapshot lifecycle policy API. This also includes information about the
|
|
latest successful and failed invocation that the automatic snapshots have taken.
|
|
|
|
==== Path Parameters
|
|
|
|
`policy_ids` (optional)::
|
|
(string) Comma-separated ids of policies to retrieve.
|
|
|
|
==== Examples
|
|
|
|
To retrieve a policy, perform a `GET` with the policy's id
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
GET /_slm/policy/daily-snapshots?human
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TEST[continued]
|
|
|
|
The output looks similar to the following:
|
|
|
|

[[slm-api-execute]]
|
|
=== Execute Snapshot Lifecycle Policy API
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it can be useful to immediately execute a snapshot based on policy,
|
|
perhaps before an upgrade or before performing other maintenance on indices. The
|
|
execute snapshot policy API allows you to perform a snapshot immediately without
|
|
waiting for a policy's scheduled invocation.
|
|
|
|
==== Path Parameters
|
|
|
|
`policy_id` (required)::
|
|
(string) Id of the policy to execute
|
|
|
|
==== Example
|
|
|
|
To take an immediate snapshot using a policy, use the following
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT /_slm/policy/daily-snapshots/_execute
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TEST[skip:we can't easily handle snapshots from docs tests]
|
|
|
|
This API will immediately return with the generated snapshot name
|
|
|
|
[source,console-result]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"snapshot_name": "daily-snap-2019.04.24-gwrqoo2xtea3q57vvg0uea"
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TESTRESPONSE[skip:we can't handle snapshots from docs tests]
|
|
|
|
The snapshot will be taken in the background, you can use the
|
|
<<modules-snapshots,snapshot APIs>> to monitor the status of the snapshot.
|
|
|
|
Once a snapshot has been kicked off, you can see the latest successful or failed
|
|
snapshot using the get snapshot lifecycle policy API:
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
GET /_slm/policy/daily-snapshots?human
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TEST[skip:we already tested get policy above, the last_failure may not be present though]
|
|
|
|
Which, in this case shows an error because the index did not exist:
|
|
|
|

// TESTRESPONSE[skip:the presence of last_failure is asynchronous and will be present for users, but is untestable]
|
|
|
|
<1> The last unsuccessfully initiated snapshot by this policy, along with the details of its failure
|
|
|
|
In this case, it failed due to the "important" index not existing and
|
|
`ignore_unavailable` setting being set to `false`.
|
|
|
|
Updating the policy to change the `ignore_unavailable` setting is done using the
|
|
same put snapshot lifecycle policy API:
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT /_slm/policy/daily-snapshots
|
|
{
|
|
"schedule": "0 30 1 * * ?",
|
|
"name": "<daily-snap-{now/d}>",
|
|
"repository": "my_repository",
|
|
"config": {
|
|
"indices": ["data-*", "important"],
|
|
"ignore_unavailable": true,
|
|
"include_global_state": false
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TEST[continued]
|
|
|
|
Another snapshot can immediately be executed to ensure the new policy works:
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT /_slm/policy/daily-snapshots/_execute
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TEST[skip:we can't handle snapshots in docs tests]
|
|
|
|
[source,console-result]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"snapshot_name": "daily-snap-2019.04.24-tmtnyjtrsxkhbrrdcgg18a"
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TESTRESPONSE[skip:we can't handle snapshots in docs tests]
|
|
|
|
Now retriving the policy shows that the policy has successfully been executed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
GET /_slm/policy/daily-snapshots?human
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TEST[skip:we already tested this above and the output may not be available yet]

[[slm-api-delete]]
|
|
=== Delete Snapshot Lifecycle Policy API
|
|
|
|
A policy can be deleted by issuing a delete request with the policy id. Note
|
|
that this prevents any future snapshots from being taken, but does not cancel
|
|
any currently ongoing snapshots or remove any previously taken snapshots.
|
|
|
|
==== Path Parameters
|
|
|
|
`policy_id` (optional)::
|
|
(string) Id of the policy to remove.
|
|
|
|
==== Example
|
|
