Instantiates an {anomaly-job}.

[[ml-put-job-request]]
== {api-request-title}

`PUT _ml/anomaly_detectors/<job_id>`

[[ml-put-job-prereqs]]
== {api-prereq-title}

Requires the `manage_ml` cluster privilege. This privilege is included in the 
`machine_learning_admin` built-in role.

[[ml-put-job-desc]]
== {api-description-title}

IMPORTANT: You must use {kib} or this API to create an {anomaly-job}. Do not put
a job directly to the `.ml-config` index using the {es} index API. If {es}
{security-features} are enabled, do not give users `write` privileges on the
`.ml-config` index.

NOTE: If the `detectors` array does not contain at least one detector,
no analysis can occur and an error is returned.
