=== 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]

--------------------------------------------------
