|
The forecast jobs API uses historical behavior to predict the future behavior of
|
|
a time series.
|
|
|
|
==== Request
|
|
|
|
`POST _xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>/_forecast`
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== Description
|
|
|
|
See {xpack-ref}/ml-overview.html#ml-forecasting[Forecasting the Future].
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
* If you use an `over_field_name` property in your job, you cannot create a
|
|
forecast. For more information about this property, see <<ml-job-resource>>.
|
|
* The job must be open when you create a forecast. Otherwise, an error occurs.
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
==== Path Parameters
|
|
|
|
`job_id`::
|
|
(string) Identifier for the job.
|
|
|
|
|
|
==== Request Parameters
|
|
|
|
`duration`::
|
|
(time units) A period of time that indicates how far into the future to
|
|
forecast. For example, `30d` corresponds to 30 days. The default value is 1
|
|
day. The forecast starts at the last record that was processed. For more
|
|
information about time units, see <<time-units>>.
|
|

`expires_in`::
|
|
(time units) The period of time that forecast results are retained.

After a forecast expires, the results are deleted. The default value is 14 days.

If set to a value of `0`, the forecast is never automatically deleted.

==== Examples
|
|
|
|
The following example requests a 10 day forecast for the `total-requests` job:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
POST _xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/total-requests/_forecast
|
|
{
|
|
"duration": "10d"
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// CONSOLE
|
|
// TEST[skip:todo]
|
|
|
|
When the forecast is created, you receive the following results:
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
----
|
|
{
|
|
"acknowledged": true,
|
|
"forecast_id": 1507824469268
|
|
}
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
You can subsequently see the forecast in the *Single Metric Viewer* in {kib}.
|
|
//and in the results that you retrieve by using {ml} APIs such as the
|
|
//<<ml-get-bucket,get bucket API>> and <<ml-get-record,get records API>>.
