## Create or update an index rollup job
Creates or updates an index rollup job.
You must provide the `seq_no` and `primary_term` parameters.

You can specify the following options.
Options | Description | Type | Required
:--- | :--- |:--- |:--- |
`source_index` | The name of the detector. | `string` | Yes
`target_index` | Specify the target index that the rolled up data is ingested into. You could either create a new target index or use an existing index. The target index cannot be a combination of raw and rolled up data. | `string` | Yes
`schedule` | Schedule of the index rollup job which can be an interval or a cron expression. | `object` | Yes
`schedule.interval` | Specify the frequency of execution of the rollup job. | `object` | No
`schedule.interval.start_time` | Start time of the interval. | `timestamp` | Yes
`schedule.interval.period` | Define the interval period. | `string` | Yes
`schedule.interval.unit` | Specify the time unit of the interval. | `string` | Yes
`schedule.interval.cron` | Optionally, specify a cron expression to define therollup frequency. | `list` | No
`schedule.interval.cron.timezone` | Specify timezones as defined by the IANA Time Zone Database. Defaults to UTC. | `string` | No
`description` | Optionally, describe the rollup job. | `string` | No
`enabled` | When true, the index rollup job is scheduled. Default is true. | `boolean` | Yes
`continuous` | Specify whether or not the index rollup job continuously rolls up data forever or just executes over the current data set once and stops. Default is false. | `boolean` | Yes
`error_notification` | Set up a Mustache message template sent for error notifications. For example, if an index rollup job fails, the system sends a message to a Slack channel. | `object` | No
`page_size` | Specify the number of buckets to paginate through at a time while rolling up. | `number` | Yes
`delay` | Specify time value to delay execution of the index rollup job. | `time_unit` | No
`dimensions` | Specify aggregations to create dimensions for the roll up time window. | `object` | Yes
`dimensions.date_histogram` | Specify either fixed_interval or calendar_interval, but not both. Either one limits what you can query in the target index. | `object` | No
`dimensions.date_histogram.fixed_interval` | Specify the fixed interval for aggregations in milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, or days. | `string` | No
`dimensions.date_histogram.calendar_interval` | Specify the calendar interval for aggregations in minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, quarters, or years. | `string` | No
`dimensions.date_histogram.field` | Specify the date field used in date histogram aggregation. | `string` | No
`dimensions.date_histogram.timezone` | Specify the timezones as defined by the IANA Time Zone Database. The default is UTC. | `string` | No
`dimensions.terms` | Specify the term aggregations that you want to roll up. | `object` | No
`dimensions.terms.fields` | Specify terms aggregation for compatible fields. | `object` | No
`dimensions.histogram` | Specify the histogram aggregations that you want to roll up. | `object` | No
`dimensions.histogram.field` | Add a field for histogram aggregations. | `string` | Yes
`dimensions.histogram.interval` | Specify the histogram aggregation interval for the field. | `long` | Yes
`dimensions.metrics` | Specify a list of objects that represent the fields and metrics that you want to calculate. | `nested object` | No
`dimensions.metrics.field` | Specify the field that you want to perform metric aggregations on. | `string` | No
`dimensions.metrics.field.metrics` | Specify the metric aggregations you want to calculate for the field. | `multiple strings` | No
