When exporting and cloning ml configurations in a cluster it can be
frustrating to remove all the fields that were generated by
the plugin. Especially as the number of these fields change
from version to version.
This flag, exclude_generated, allows the GET config APIs to return
configurations with these generated fields removed.
APIs supporting this flag:
- GET _ml/anomaly_detection/<job_id>
- GET _ml/datafeeds/<datafeed_id>
- GET _ml/data_frame/analytics/<analytics_id>
The following fields are not returned in the objects:
- any field that is not user settable (e.g. version, create_time)
- any field that is a calculated default value (e.g. datafeed chunking_config)
- any field that is automatically set via another Elastic stack process (e.g. anomaly job custom_settings.created_by)
relates to #63055
This adds the new `for_export` flag to the following APIs:
- GET _ml/anomaly_detection/<job_id>
- GET _ml/datafeeds/<datafeed_id>
- GET _ml/data_frame/analytics/<analytics_id>
The flag is designed for cloning or exporting configuration objects to later be put into the same cluster or a separate cluster.
The following fields are not returned in the objects:
- any field that is not user settable (e.g. version, create_time)
- any field that is a calculated default value (e.g. datafeed chunking_config)
- any field that would effectively require changing to be of use (e.g. datafeed job_id)
- any field that is automatically set via another Elastic stack process (e.g. anomaly job custom_settings.created_by)
