When I create a datafeed using "PUT \_xpack/ml/datafeeds/foo" it comes back with a random query\_delay added, as documented. But all the datafeeds created through the wizards have a query\_delay set to 60. Is that an issue? ---

Hi Badger, Thank you so much for spotting this inconsistency. Indeed, the UI is setting the `query_delay` from the wizards to the default of 60 seconds. Thank you for this feedback, we'll rectify in the next minor release. In the meantime, if you need to change the `query_delay` on existing jobs, you can either do so using the edit job button in the UI or using the [Update Datafeed API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.6/ml-update-datafeed.html). Kind regards, Dimitris ---
