=== Get categories API
++++
<titleabbrev>Get categories</titleabbrev>
++++
Retrieves {anomaly-job} results for one or more categories.
[[ml-get-category-request]]
==== {api-request-title}
`GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>/results/categories` +
`GET _ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>/results/categories/<category_id>`
[[ml-get-category-prereqs]]
==== {api-prereq-title}
* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have `monitor_ml`,
`monitor`, `manage_ml`, or `manage` cluster privileges to use this API. You also
need `read` index privilege on the index that stores the results. The
`machine_learning_admin` and `machine_learning_user` roles provide these
privileges. See <<security-privileges>> and
<<built-in-roles>>.
[[ml-get-category-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
When `categorization_field_name` is specified in the job configuration, it is
possible to view the definitions of the resulting categories. A category
definition describes the common terms matched and contains examples of matched
values.
The anomaly results from a categorization analysis are available as bucket,
influencer, and record results. For example, the results might indicate that
at 16:45 there was an unusual count of log message category 11. You can then
examine the description and examples of that category. For more information, see
{ml-docs}/ml-configuring-categories.html[Categorizing log messages].
[[ml-get-category-path-parms]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}
`<category_id>`::
(Optional, long) Identifier for the category. If you do not specify this
parameter, the API returns information about all categories in the {anomaly-job}.
`<job_id>`::
(Required, string)
include::{docdir}/ml/ml-shared.asciidoc[tag=job-id-anomaly-detection]
[[ml-get-category-request-body]]
==== {api-request-body-title}
`page`.`from`::
(Optional, integer) Skips the specified number of categories.
`page`.`size`::
(Optional, integer) Specifies the maximum number of categories to obtain.
[[ml-get-category-results]]
==== {api-response-body-title}
The API returns an array of category objects, which have the following
properties:
`category_id`::
(unsigned integer) A unique identifier for the category.
`examples`::
(array) A list of examples of actual values that matched the category.
`grok_pattern`::
experimental[] (string) A Grok pattern that could be used in {ls} or an ingest
pipeline to extract fields from messages that match the category. This field is
experimental and may be changed or removed in a future release. The Grok
patterns that are found are not optimal, but are often a good starting point for
manual tweaking.
`job_id`::
(string)
include::{docdir}/ml/ml-shared.asciidoc[tag=job-id-anomaly-detection]
`max_matching_length`::
(unsigned integer) The maximum length of the fields that matched the category.
The value is increased by 10% to enable matching for similar fields that have
not been analyzed.
`regex`::
(string) A regular expression that is used to search for values that match the
category.
`terms`::
(string) A space separated list of the common tokens that are matched in values
of the category.
