Hi Team,
Kindly let me know if I can do forecast automatically from Machine Learning module in Kibana UI? I already created a ML Job and data feed it real time. Now, I want to forecast it but not manually. For example, I need to run forecast for 1 day at 07:00 in the morning and then in the next morning at the same time, I will run it again for 1 day. This process will repeat every day and it is hard to do it manually. Is it possible to run forecast automatically using Kibana UI?
Kibana and Elastic version: 6.6.2
Regards,
Hallward Bagus

The forecasting can be automated using the `_forecast` API: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.1/ml-forecast.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.1/ml-forecast.html)
(You will have to construct your own automation script/cron job)
Notice that each invocation of the `_forecast` returns a `forecast_id` that one can reference on a subsequent query to the `.ml-anomalies-*` index.
The steps would look something like:
```auto
POST _xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/a_forecast_example/_open
POST _xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/a_forecast_example/_forecast
{
"duration": "1d"
}
GET .ml-anomalies-*/_search
{
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": [
{"term": {"forecast_id": "pfVYBGsBvI8wQ5-C3xC9"}},
{"term": {"result_type": "model_forecast"}},
{"term": {"job_id": "a_forecast_example"}}
]
} }
}
```
