Delete an anomaly detection job

DELETE /_ml/anomaly_detectors/{job_id}

All job configuration, model state and results are deleted. It is not currently possible to delete multiple jobs using wildcards or a comma separated list. If you delete a job that has a datafeed, the request first tries to delete the datafeed. This behavior is equivalent to calling the delete datafeed API with the same timeout and force parameters as the delete job request.

Required authorization

Authentication

Api key

Authorization: <value>

Elasticsearch APIs support key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example:

		curl -X GET "${ES_URL}/_cat/indices?v=true" \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey ${API_KEY}"

To get API keys, use the /_security/api_key APIs.

Basic

Authorization: Basic <credentials>

Bearer

Authorization: Bearer <token>

Elasticsearch APIs support the use of bearer tokens in the Authorization HTTP header to authenticate with the API. For examples, refer to Token-based authentication services
