If the Elasticsearch security features are enabled, you must have
manage_ccrcluster privileges on the cluster that contains the follower index. For more information, see Security privileges.
Descriptionedit
This API pauses an auto-follow pattern. When this API returns, the auto-follow pattern
is inactive and ignores any new index created on the remote cluster that matches any of
the auto-follow’s patterns. Paused auto-follow patterns appear with the active field
set to false in the GET auto-follow patterns API.
You can resume auto-following with the resume auto-follow pattern API. Once resumed, the auto-follow pattern is active again and automatically configure follower indices for newly created indices on the remote cluster that match its patterns. Remote indices created while the pattern was paused will also be followed, unless they have been deleted or closed in the meantime.
