=== Delete Watch API
|
|
|
|
The DELETE watch API removes a watch (identified by its `id`) from {watcher}.
|
|
Once removed, the document representing the watch in the `.watches` index is
|
|
gone and it will never be executed again.
|
|
|
|
Please note that deleting a watch **does not** delete any watch execution records
|
|
related to this watch from the watch history.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Deleting a watch must be done via this API only. Do not delete the
|
|
watch directly from the `.watches` index using Elasticsearch's
|
|
DELETE Document API. When {security} is enabled, make sure no `write`
|
|
privileges are granted to anyone over the `.watches` index.
|
|
|
|
The following example deletes a watch with the `my-watch` id:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
DELETE _xpack/watcher/watch/my_watch
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[setup:my_active_watch]
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"found": true,
|
|
"_id": "my_watch",
|
|
"_version": 2
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TESTRESPONSE

==== Timeouts
|
|
|
|
When deleting a watch while it is executing, the delete action will block and
|
|
wait for the watch execution to finish. Depending on the nature of the watch, in
|
|
some situations this can take a while. For this reason, the delete watch action
|
|
is associated with a timeout that is set to 10 seconds by default. You can
|
|
control this timeout by passing in the `master_timeout` parameter.
|
|
|
|
The following snippet shows how to change the default timeout of the delete
|
|
action to 30 seconds:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
DELETE _xpack/watcher/watch/my_watch?master_timeout=30s
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[setup:my_active_watch]
