=== Delete watch API
|
|
++++
|
|
<titleabbrev>Delete watch</titleabbrev>
|
|
++++
|
|
|
|
The delete watch API removes a watch from {watcher}.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== Request
|
|
|
|
`DELETE _watcher/watch/<watch_id>`
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== Description
|
|
|
|
When the watch is removed, the document representing the watch in the `.watches`
|
|
index is gone and it will never be run 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 the Elasticsearch
|
|
DELETE Document API. When {es} {security-features} are enabled, make
|
|
sure no `write` privileges are granted to anyone over the `.watches`
|
|
index.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== Path Parameters
|
|
|
|
`watch_id` (required)::
|
|
(string) Identifier for the watch.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
==== Authorization
|
|
|
|
You must have `manage_watcher` cluster privileges to use this API. For more
|
|
information, see {xpack-ref}/security-privileges.html[Security Privileges].
