Machine learning options

[jungsoo (Jungsoo Hwang)]

Hello, I'm testing machine learning features using the kibana sample data.

I couldn't find detailed information about the options when creating ml jobs. I want to know what exclude frequent means, and how I could use them.

I used by field/partition field/over field to test exclude frequent option, but failed showing the error below. Can I get some examples of making ml using exclude frequent?

[request body.analysisConfig.detectors.0.exclude_frequent]: definition for this key is missing

Thank you!

exclude_frequent

is defined here: Create anomaly detection jobs API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic

The error you found is a known bug - to be fixed in v7.10

Just so you know, the introduction of Filter lists often obviates the need for the exclude_frequent setting, which pre-dated Filters. With filters, you have specific control over which entities you'd like to omit from anomaly creation.
