Comma-separated list or wildcard expression
of actions used to limit the request.

Omit this parameter to return all actions.
--
end::actions[]

tag::active-only[]
`active_only`::
(Optional, Boolean)
If `true`,
the response only includes ongoing shard recoveries.
Defaults to `false`.
end::active-only[]

tag::allow-no-indices[]
`allow_no_indices`::
(Optional, Boolean)
If `false`, the request returns an error if any wildcard expression,
<<aliases,index alias>>, or `_all` value targets only missing or closed indices.
This behavior applies even if the request targets other open indices. For
example, a request targeting `foo*,bar*` returns an error if an index starts
with `foo` but no index starts with `bar`.
end::allow-no-indices[]

tag::allow-no-match-transforms1[]
Specifies what to do when the request:
+
--
* Contains wildcard expressions and there are no {transforms} that match.
* Contains the `_all` string or no identifiers and there are no matches.
* Contains wildcard expressions and there are only partial matches.

The default value is `true`, which returns an empty `transforms` array when
there are no matches and the subset of results when there are partial matches.

If this parameter is `false`, the request returns a `404` status code when there
are no matches or only partial matches.
--
end::allow-no-match-transforms1[]

tag::allow-no-match-transforms2[]
Specifies what to do when the request:
+
--
* Contains wildcard expressions and there are no {transforms} that match.
* Contains the `_all` string or no identifiers and there are no matches.
* Contains wildcard expressions and there are only partial matches.

The default value is `true`, which returns a successful acknowledgement message
when there are no matches. When there are only partial matches, the API stops
the appropriate {transforms}. For example, if the request contains
`test-id1*,test-id2*` as the identifiers and there are no {transforms}
that match `test-id2*`, the API nonetheless stops the {transforms}
that match `test-id1*`.

If this parameter is `false`, the request returns a `404` status code when there
are no matches or only partial matches.

`stats`::
(Optional, string) Specific `tag` of the request for logging and statistical
purposes.
end::stats[]

tag::stored_fields[]
`stored_fields`::
(Optional, Boolean) If `true`, retrieves the document fields stored in the
index rather than the document `_source`. Defaults to `false`.
end::stored_fields[]

tag::sync[]
Defines the properties {transforms} require to run continuously.
end::sync[]

tag::sync-time[]
Specifies that the {transform} uses a time field to synchronize the source and
destination indices.
end::sync-time[]

tag::sync-time-field[]
The date field that is used to identify new documents in the source.
end::sync-time-field[]

tag::sync-time-delay[]
The time delay between the current time and the latest input data time. The
default value is `60s`.
end::sync-time-delay[]

tag::transform-latest[]
The `latest` method transforms the data by finding the latest document for each
unique key.
end::transform-latest[]

tag::transform-metadata[]
Defines optional {transform} metadata.
end::transform-metadata[]

tag::transform-retention[]
Defines a retention policy for the {transform}. Data that meets the defined
criteria is deleted from the destination index.
end::transform-retention[]

tag::transform-retention-time[]
Specifies that the {transform} uses a time field to set the retention policy.
end::transform-retention-time[]

tag::transform-retention-time-field[]
The date field that is used to calculate the age of the document.
end::transform-retention-time-field[]

tag::transform-retention-time-max-age[]
Specifies the maximum age of a document in the destination index. Documents that
are older than the configured value are removed from the destination index.
end::transform-retention-time-max-age[]

tag::transform-settings[]
Defines optional {transform} settings.
end::transform-settings[]

tag::transform-settings-dates-as-epoch-milli[]
Defines if dates in the output should be written as ISO formatted string (default)
or as millis since epoch. `epoch_millis` has been the default for transforms created
before version `7.11`. For compatible output set this to `true`.
The default value is `false`.
end::transform-settings-dates-as-epoch-milli[]

tag::transform-settings-docs-per-second[]
Specifies a limit on the number of input documents per second. This setting
throttles the {transform} by adding a wait time between search requests. The
default value is `null`, which disables throttling.
end::transform-settings-docs-per-second[]

tag::transform-settings-align-checkpoints[]
Specifies whether the transform checkpoint ranges should be optimized for performance.
Such optimization can align checkpoint ranges with date histogram interval when date histogram
is specified as a group source in the transform config. As an effect, less document updates in the
destination index will be performed thus improving overall performance.
The default value is `true`, which means the checkpoint ranges will be optimized if possible.
end::transform-settings-align-checkpoints[]

tag::transform-settings-max-page-search-size[]
Defines the initial page size to use for the composite aggregation for each
checkpoint. If circuit breaker exceptions occur, the page size is dynamically
adjusted to a lower value. The minimum value is `10` and the maximum is `65,536`.
The default value is `500`.
end::transform-settings-max-page-search-size[]

tag::transform-sort[]
Specifies the date field that is used to identify the latest documents.
end::transform-sort[]

tag::transform-unique-key[]
Specifies an array of one or more fields that are used to group the data.
end::transform-unique-key[]

tag::target-index[]
`<target-index>`::
+
--
(Required, string)
Name of the target index to create.

include::{es-repo-dir}/indices/create-index.asciidoc[tag=index-name-reqs]
--
end::target-index[]

tag::task-id[]
`<task_id>`::
(Optional, string) ID of the task to return
(`node_id:task_number`).
end::task-id[]

tag::term_statistics[]
`term_statistics`::
(Optional, Boolean) If `true`, the response includes term frequency and document frequency.
Defaults to `false`.
end::term_statistics[]

tag::terminate_after[]
`terminate_after`::
(Optional, integer) Maximum number of documents to collect for each shard. If a
query reaches this limit, {es} terminates the query early. {es} collects
documents before sorting.
+
IMPORTANT: Use with caution. {es} applies this parameter to each shard handling
the request. When possible, let {es} perform early termination automatically.
Avoid specifying this parameter for requests that target data streams with
backing indices across multiple data tiers.
end::terminate_after[]

tag::time[]
`time`::
(Optional, <<time-units,time units>>)
Unit used to display time values.
end::time[]

tag::timeoutparms[]
tag::master-timeout[]
`master_timeout`::
(Optional, <<time-units, time units>>)
Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received
before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to
`30s`.
end::master-timeout[]

tag::timeout[]
`timeout`::
(Optional, <<time-units, time units>>)
Period to wait for a response. If no response is received before the timeout
expires, the request fails and returns an error. Defaults to `30s`.
end::timeout[]
end::timeoutparms[]

tag::transform-id[]
Identifier for the {transform}.
end::transform-id[]

tag::transform-id-wildcard[]
Identifier for the {transform}. It can be a {transform} identifier or a wildcard
expression. If you do not specify one of these options, the API returns
information for all {transforms}.
end::transform-id-wildcard[]

tag::trigger-count[]
The number of times the {transform} has been triggered by the scheduler. For
example, the scheduler triggers the {transform} indexer to check for updates
or ingest new data at an interval specified in the
<<put-transform-request-body,`frequency` property>>.
end::trigger-count[]

tag::cat-v[]
`v`::
(Optional, Boolean) If `true`, the response includes column headings.
Defaults to `false`.
end::cat-v[]

tag::version[]
`version`::
(Optional, Boolean) If `true`, returns the document version as part of a hit.
end::version[]

tag::doc-version[]
`version`::
(Optional, integer) Explicit version number for concurrency control.
The specified version must match the current version of the document for the
request to succeed.
end::doc-version[]

tag::segment-version[]
Version of Lucene used to write the segment.
