Search Watch API
Endpoint
GET /_signals/watch/{tenant}/_search
POST /_signals/watch/{tenant}/_search
Searches for watches. Search criteria and options can be specified in a manner similar to the Elasticsearch document search REST API.
Both the GET and the POST HTTP method can be used with the same effect.
Path Parameters
{tenant}: The name of the tenant which contains the watches to be searched. _main refers to the default tenant. Users of the community edition will can only use _main here.
Query Parameters
from: Specifies an offset into the result list. Starting from this offset, the results will be returned. Optional.
size: Specifies the maximum number of watches to be returned. Optional, defaults to 10. If scrolling is enabled, this specifies the maximum number of watches to be returned in one scroll iteration.
scroll: Configures the search to be scrollable. Optional. The value of this parameter must be a time duration value (like 1m for one minute) during which the scroll will be available. If scrolling is enabled, the response will contain a _scroll_id. The value of this attribute must be passed to the standard ES REST endpoint _search/scroll to continue scrolling.
Request Body
The request body specifies search options like the ElasticSearch document search REST API.
If no request body is specified, all watches configured for the currently selected tenant will be returned; limited to the amount specified to the size query parameter.
Important attributes of the request body are:
query: An ES document query.
sort: Specifies the attributes by which the result shall be sorted.
Responses
200 OK
The search was successfully executed. The response body contains the found watches in the same format as an ES REST API search response.
Important: The search results contain the watch ids in the format {tenant}/{watch_id}, i.e., they are always prefixed by the tenant name. If you use this id with another REST API, be sure not to include the tenant name another time.
