Raj,

in order for us to help you, please provide us with the information relating to how you've configured the job. You can get this by running the following and pasting the output here:

`curl -u elastic:changeme -XGET 'localhost:9200/_xpack/ml/anomaly_detectors/<jobname>?pretty'`

`curl -u elastic:changeme -XGET 'localhost:9200/_xpack/ml/datafeeds/datafeed-<jobname>?pretty'`

There's nothing obvious wrong with your job config, so the next ask would be to have you look in the elasticsearch.log file for the messages at the time that you get this error in the UI. I'm guessing a more descriptive message will be had there than what's shown in the UI.

Please post those messages here.
