|
||
[[put-transform-prereqs]]
|
||
==== {api-prereq-title}
|
||
|
||
* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have
|
||
`manage_data_frame_transforms` cluster privileges to use this API. The built-in
|
||
`data_frame_transforms_admin` role has these privileges. 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 {stack-ov}/security-privileges.html[Security privileges] and
|
||
{stack-ov}/built-in-roles.html[Built-in roles].
|
||
|
||
[[put-transform-desc]]
|
||
==== {api-description-title}
|
||
|
||
This API defines a {transform}, which copies data from source indices,
|
||
transforms it, and persists it into an entity-centric destination index. The
|
||
entities are defined by the set of `group_by` fields in the `pivot` object. You
|
||
can also think of the destination index as a two-dimensional tabular data
|
||
structure (known as a {dataframe}). The ID for each document in the
|
||
{dataframe} is generated from a hash of the entity, so there is a unique row
|
||
per entity. For more information, see <<transforms>>.
|
||
|
||
When the {transform} is created, a series of validations occur to
|
||
ensure its success. For example, there is a check for the existence of the
|
||
source indices and a check that the destination index is not part of the source
|
||
index pattern. You can use the `defer_validation` parameter to skip these
|
||
checks.
|
||
|
||
Deferred validations are always run when the {transform} is started,
|
||
with the exception of privilege checks. When {es} {security-features} are
|
||
enabled, the {transform} remembers which roles the user that created
|
||
it had at the time of creation and uses those same roles. If those roles do not
|
||
have the required privileges on the source and destination indices, the
|
||
{transform} fails when it attempts unauthorized operations.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANT: You must use {kib} or this API to create a {transform}.
|
||
Do not put a {transform} directly into any
|
||
`.data-frame-internal*` indices using the Elasticsearch index API.
|
||
If {es} {security-features} are enabled, do not give users any
|
||
privileges on `.data-frame-internal*` indices.

|
||
[[put-transform-path-parms]]
|
||
==== {api-path-parms-title}
|
||
|
||
`<transform_id>`::
|
||
(Required, string) Identifier for the {transform}. This identifier
|
||
can contain lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and
|
||
underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.
|
||
|
||
[[put-transform-query-parms]]
|
||
==== {api-query-parms-title}
|
||
|
||
`defer_validation`::
|
||
(Optional, boolean) When `true`, deferrable validations are not run. This
|
||
behavior may be desired if the source index does not exist until after the
|
||
{transform} is created.
|
||
|
||
[[put-transform-request-body]]
|
||
==== {api-request-body-title}
|
||
|
||
`description`::
|
||
(Optional, string) Free text description of the {transform}.
|
||
|
||
`dest`::
|
||
(Required, object) Required. The destination configuration, which has the
|
||
following properties:
|
||
|
||
`index`:::
|
||
(Required, string) The _destination index_ for the {transform}.
|
||
|
||
`pipeline`:::
|
||
(Optional, string) The unique identifier for a <<pipeline,pipeline>>.
|
||
|
||
`frequency`::
|
||
(Optional, <<time-units, time units>>) The interval between checks for changes in the source
|
||
indices when the {transform} is running continuously. Also determines
|
||
the retry interval in the event of transient failures while the {transform} is
|
||
searching or indexing. The minimum value is `1s` and the maximum is `1h`. The
|
||
default value is `1m`.
|
||
|
||
`pivot`::
|
||
(Required, object) Defines the pivot function `group by` fields and the aggregation to
|
||
reduce the data. See <<transform-pivot>>.
|
||
|
||
`source`::
|
||
(Required, object) The source configuration, which has the following
|
||
properties:
|
||
|
||
`index`:::
|
||
(Required, string or array) The _source indices_ for the
|
||
{transform}. It can be a single index, an index pattern (for
|
||
example, `"myindex*"`), or an array of indices (for example,
|
||
`["index1", "index2"]`).
|
||
|
||
`query`:::
|
||
(Optional, object) A query clause that retrieves a subset of data from the
|
||
source index. See <<query-dsl>>.
|
||
|
||
`sync`::
|
||
(Optional, object) Defines the properties required to run continuously.
|
||
`time`:::
|
||
(Required, object) Specifies that the {transform} uses a time
|
||
field to synchronize the source and destination indices.
|
||
`field`::::
|
||
(Required, string) The date field that is used to identify new documents
|
||
in the source.
|
||
+
|
||
--
|
||
TIP: In general, it’s a good idea to use a field that contains the
|
||
<<accessing-ingest-metadata,ingest timestamp>>. If you use a different field,
|
||
you might need to set the `delay` such that it accounts for data transmission
|
||
delays.
|
||
|
||
--
|
||
`delay`::::
|
||
(Optional, <<time-units, time units>>) The time delay between the current time and the
|
||
latest input data time. The default value is `60s`.
