# stack es transform stop-transform cli command
<cli-modifiers>
</cli-modifiers>

```bash
elastic stack es transform stop-transform \
  --transform-id <transform-id> \
  [options]
```

Stop transforms.
**Behaviour flags:**
`--dry-run` — validate all inputs and exit without performing any action

## Options

<definitions>
  <definition term="--transform-id string required">
    Identifier for the transform. To stop multiple transforms, use a comma-separated list or a wildcard expression.
    To stop all transforms, use `_all` or `*` as the identifier.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--allow-no-match">
    Specifies what to do when the request: contains wildcard expressions and there are no transforms that match;
    contains the `_all` string or no identifiers and there are no matches; contains wildcard expressions and there
    are only partial matches. If it is true, the API returns a successful acknowledgement message when there are no matches. When there are
    only partial matches, the API stops the appropriate transforms. If it is false, the request returns a 404 status code when there are no matches or only partial matches.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--force">
    If it is true, the API forcefully stops the transforms.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--timeout string">
    Period to wait for a response when `wait_for_completion` is `true`. If no response is received before the
    timeout expires, the request returns a timeout exception. However, the request continues processing and
    eventually moves the transform to a STOPPED state.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--wait-for-checkpoint">
    If it is true, the transform does not completely stop until the current checkpoint is completed. If it is false,
    the transform stops as soon as possible.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--wait-for-completion">
    If it is true, the API blocks until the indexer state completely stops. If it is false, the API returns
    immediately and the indexer is stopped asynchronously in the background.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--error-trace">
    When set to `true` Elasticsearch will include the full stack trace of errors
    when they occur.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--filter-path string">
    Comma-separated list of filters in dot notation which reduce the response
    returned by Elasticsearch.
    **Repeatable:** pass `--filter-path` multiple times to supply more than one value
  </definition>
  <definition term="--human">
    When set to `true` will return statistics in a format suitable for humans.
    For example `"exists_time": "1h"` for humans and
    `"exists_time_in_millis": 3600000` for computers. When disabled the human
    readable values will be omitted. This makes sense for responses being consumed
    only by machines.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--pretty">
    If set to `true` the returned JSON will be "pretty-formatted". Only use
    this option for debugging only.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--input-file string">
    path to a JSON file to use as command input
  </definition>
  <definition term="--dry-run">
    validate all inputs and exit without performing any action (preview changes without applying them)
  </definition>
</definitions>


## Global Options

  <definition term="--json">
    output as JSON
