Display RocketScale Settings

You can use the ObjectRocket API to display the current Rocketscale :sup:® settings for an instance

GET /elasticsearch/<instance_name>/rocketscale_settings/

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "num_minutes_in_violation": 10,

    "rocketscale_enabled": true,
    "jvm_threshold": 85
  }
}

Note

There are two settings returned in the GET call that are used internally and not settable via the PATCH call. temp_disabled_window is for our support teams to temporarily deactivate RocketScale when needed. jvm_threshold is reserved for future use.

Modify RocketScale Settings for an Instance

PATCH /elasticsearch/<instance_name>/rocketscale_settings/

Request Body:

{
  "rocketscale_enabled": true,
