Hello,

I want to create a multi metric ml job that will be expired in 1d. Can I do it using dev tools?  
I have created a forecast job like so and now I want to create a ml job.  
My Forecast job:

POST \_xpack/ml/anomaly\_detectors/forecast\_manually/\_forecast  
{  
"duration": "56d",  
"expires\_in": "1d"  
}

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Angelos,

See [the API for creating an anomaly detection job](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/ml-put-job.html). Jobs don't have an expiration date inherently because in general, one normally runs ML anomaly detection jobs on-going. You would have to manually [delete a job](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/ml-delete-job.html) if you were done with it.
