[7.x] Reduce chance for test failure due to schedule (#56633) (#56695)
If CI is running tests at exactly 0 or 5 minutes past the hour
the ack-watch docs tests may fail with a 409 error if the ack
test happens to run at the exact time that the schedule watch
is running.

This commit changes the public documentation (and the test) for
the ack to a feb 29th at noon schedule. Test doc or tests do
not really care about the schedule date and this is chosen
since it is a valid date, but one that is extremely unlikely
to cause issues.

* You must have `manage_watcher` cluster privileges to use this API. For more
information, see <<security-privileges>>.
[[watcher-api-ack-watch-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
An action's _acknowledgement state_ is stored in the
`status.actions.<id>.ack.state` structure.
IMPORTANT: If the specified watch is currently being executed, this API will
return an error. The reason for this is to prevent overwriting of the watch
status from a watch execution.
[[watcher-api-ack-watch-path-params]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}
`<action_id>`::
(Optional, list) A comma-separated list of the action IDs to acknowledge. If you omit
this parameter, all of the actions of the watch are acknowledged.
`<watch_id>`::
(Required, string) Identifier for the watch.

To demonstrate let's create a new watch:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT _watcher/watch/my_watch
{
"trigger" : {
"schedule" : {
"yearly" : { "in" : "february", "on" : 29, "at" : "noon" }
}
},
"input": {
"simple": {
"payload": {
"send": "yes"
}
}
},
"condition": {
"always": {}
},
"actions": {
"test_index": {
"throttle_period": "15m",
"index": {
"index": "test"
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTSETUP
The current status of a watch and the state of its actions is returned with the
watch definition when you call the <<watcher-api-get-watch, Get Watch API>>:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET _watcher/watch/my_watch
--------------------------------------------------
The action state of a newly-created watch is `awaits_successful_execution`:
[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"found": true,
"_seq_no": 0,
"_primary_term": 1,
"_version": 1,
"_id": "my_watch",
"status": {
"version": 1,
"actions": {
"test_index": {
"ack": {
"timestamp": "2015-05-26T18:04:27.723Z",
"state": "awaits_successful_execution"
}
}
},
"state": ...
},
"watch": ...
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"state": \.\.\./"state": "$body.status.state"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"watch": \.\.\./"watch": "$body.watch"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"timestamp": "2015-05-26T18:04:27.723Z"/"timestamp": "$body.status.actions.test_index.ack.timestamp"/]
When the watch executes and the condition matches, the value of the `ack.state`
changes to `ackable`. Let's force execution of the watch and fetch it again to
check the status:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
POST _watcher/watch/my_watch/_execute
{
"record_execution" : true
}
GET _watcher/watch/my_watch
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[continued]
and the action is now in `ackable` state:
[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"found": true,
"_id": "my_watch",
"_seq_no": 1,
"_primary_term": 1,
"_version": 2,
"status": {
"version": 2,
"actions": {
"test_index": {
"ack": {
"timestamp": "2015-05-26T18:04:27.723Z",
"state": "ackable"
},
"last_execution" : {
"timestamp": "2015-05-25T18:04:27.723Z",
"successful": true
},
"last_successful_execution" : {
"timestamp": "2015-05-25T18:04:27.723Z",
"successful": true
}
}
},
"state": ...,
"execution_state": "executed",
"last_checked": ...,
"last_met_condition": ...
},
"watch": ...
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"state": \.\.\./"state": "$body.status.state"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"watch": \.\.\./"watch": "$body.watch"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"last_checked": \.\.\./"last_checked": "$body.status.last_checked"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"last_met_condition": \.\.\./"last_met_condition": "$body.status.last_met_condition"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"timestamp": "2015-05-26T18:04:27.723Z"/"timestamp": "$body.status.actions.test_index.ack.timestamp"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"timestamp": "2015-05-25T18:04:27.723Z"/"timestamp": "$body.status.actions.test_index.last_execution.timestamp"/]
Now we can acknowledge it:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT _watcher/watch/my_watch/_ack/test_index
GET _watcher/watch/my_watch
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[continued]
[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"found": true,
"_id": "my_watch",
"_seq_no": 2,
"_primary_term": 1,
"_version": 3,
"status": {
"version": 3,
"actions": {
"test_index": {
"ack": {
"timestamp": "2015-05-26T18:04:27.723Z",
"state": "acked"
},
"last_execution" : {
"timestamp": "2015-05-25T18:04:27.723Z",
"successful": true
},
"last_successful_execution" : {
"timestamp": "2015-05-25T18:04:27.723Z",
"successful": true
}
}
},
"state": ...,
"execution_state": "executed",
"last_checked": ...,
"last_met_condition": ...
},
"watch": ...
}
--------------------------------------------------
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"state": \.\.\./"state": "$body.status.state"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"watch": \.\.\./"watch": "$body.watch"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"last_checked": \.\.\./"last_checked": "$body.status.last_checked"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"last_met_condition": \.\.\./"last_met_condition": "$body.status.last_met_condition"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"timestamp": "2015-05-26T18:04:27.723Z"/"timestamp": "$body.status.actions.test_index.ack.timestamp"/]
// TESTRESPONSE[s/"timestamp": "2015-05-25T18:04:27.723Z"/"timestamp": "$body.status.actions.test_index.last_execution.timestamp"/]
Acknowledging an action throttles further executions of that action until its
`ack.state` is reset to `awaits_successful_execution`. This happens when the
condition of the watch is not met (the condition evaluates to `false`).
You can acknowledge multiple actions by assigning the `actions` parameter a
comma-separated list of action ids:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
POST _watcher/watch/my_watch/_ack/action1,action2
--------------------------------------------------
To acknowledge all of the actions of a watch, simply omit the `actions`
parameter:
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
POST _watcher/watch/my_watch/_ack
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[s/^/POST _watcher\/watch\/my_watch\/_execute\n{ "record_execution" : true }\n/]
The response looks like a get watch response, but only contains the status:
[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"status": {
"state": {
"active": true,
"timestamp": "2015-05-26T18:04:27.723Z"
},
"last_checked": "2015-05-26T18:04:27.753Z",
"last_met_condition": "2015-05-26T18:04:27.763Z",
"actions": {
"test_index": {
"ack" : {
"timestamp": "2015-05-26T18:04:27.713Z",
"state": "acked"
},
"last_execution" : {
"timestamp": "2015-05-25T18:04:27.733Z",
"successful": true
},
"last_successful_execution" : {
"timestamp": "2015-05-25T18:04:27.773Z",
"successful": true
}
}
},
"execution_state": "executed",
"version": 2
}
}
