Root Cause

The rollup job's index pattern does not match any indices in the cluster, preventing job initialization.

generic

中文

汇总作业的索引模式不匹配集群中的任何索引，阻止作业初始化。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Verify existing indices with `GET _cat/indices/logs-*` and adjust the rollup job pattern to match: `PUT _rollup/job/my_rollup/_stop` then `PUT _rollup/job/my_rollup {"index_pattern": "logs-2025-*"}` 
    Verify existing indices with `GET _cat/indices/logs-*` and adjust the rollup job pattern to match: `PUT _rollup/job/my_rollup/_stop` then `PUT _rollup/job/my_rollup {"index_pattern": "logs-2025-*"}`
  2. 85% success Create sample data indices matching the pattern before starting the job: `POST logs-2025-01/_doc {"timestamp": "2025-01-01", "value": 10}` 
    Create sample data indices matching the pattern before starting the job: `POST logs-2025-01/_doc {"timestamp": "2025-01-01", "value": 10}`

中文步骤

  1. 使用`GET _cat/indices/logs-*`验证现有索引，并调整汇总作业模式以匹配：`PUT _rollup/job/my_rollup/_stop`然后`PUT _rollup/job/my_rollup {"index_pattern": "logs-2025-*"}`
  2. 在启动作业前创建匹配模式的示例数据索引：`POST logs-2025-01/_doc {"timestamp": "2025-01-01", "value": 10}`

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Creating an empty index matching the pattern (e.g., `PUT logs-2025`) without data 60% fail

    The rollup job may start but will produce no results, and the empty index may cause other issues.

  2. Modifying the rollup job to use a wildcard pattern like `*` 70% fail

    This may match unintended indices, causing performance degradation or incorrect rollups.

  3. Restarting the rollup job without checking index existence 90% fail

    The same error will recur as the index pattern remains unmatched.
