Create a machine learning job

We have covered different types of jobs that we can create in X-Pack machine learning, so now we will create the jobs, execute them, and then see a result of the analysis.

Before starting job creation, we have to ensure the following system requirements for running machine learning jobs:

• Elasticsearch 6.x for storing the index data on which we will perform the machine learning analysis
• X-Pack 6.x to provide the machine learning capabilities for Elasticsearch as well as Kibana
• Kibana 6.x to provide the UI for creating, executing, and obtaining the machine learning analysis results

I will show you the index pattern to be used. I am going to use the server-metrics index data in which we have the following data format:

        "_index" : "server-metrics",
        "_type" : "metric",
        "_id" : "258427",
        "_score" : 1.0,
        "_source" : {
          "@timestamp" : "2018-04-01T01:10:00",
          "accept" : 54709,
          "deny" : 4437,
          "host...
