Resume a cross-cluster replication auto-follow pattern that was paused.
The auto-follow pattern will resume configuring following indices for newly created indices that match its patterns on the remote cluster.
Remote indices created while the pattern was paused will also be followed unless they have been deleted or closed in the interim.

## Required authorization

* Cluster privileges: `manage_ccr`

## Query String Parameters

- `master_timeout` (string Duration · default: 30s)
  The period to wait for a connection to the master node.
If the master node is not available before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.
It can also be set to `-1` to indicate that the request should never timeout.
