Can't get text on a END_OBJECT

[AlexDM (Alex)]

MapperParsingException[failed to parse [Entry.Component.raw]]; nested: IllegalStateException[Can't get text on a END_OBJECT at 1:729];

XML contains sometimes null value field:

... <"Component><"/Component> ...

The same problems:

Xml filter plugin - creating nested field out of null object: Can't get text on a END_OBJECT

Ok, so looks like I can remove completely and it resolves the issue. I guess im still curious how/why it gets pulled in as a nested field instead of empty string. Finally, my last question is how would i remove that field ONLY when it is empty? Since it isn't an empty string field and instead an empty nested field the following hasn't worked: this one fails to fulfill condition: if "" in [entry][ApplId]{ mutate { remove_field => [ "[entry][ApplId]" ] } } this one actuates EVERY time: …

Null value causing errors?

im receiving this error: "reason"=>"failed to parse [entry.AppId.raw]", "caused_by"=>{"type"=>"illegal_state_exception", "reason"=>"Can't get text on a END_OBJECT at 1:2285"} i see this value: "AppId"=>[{}] Here is the mapping statement for said field which is parsed by xml filter and should either be a string whether null or not. "AppId": { "norms": { "enabled": false }, …

But I still didn't find solution.
if !([entry][Component] =~ /.+/) {
mutate {
remove_field => [ "[entry][Component]" ]
}
}
doen't work, It remove all fields null and not null.

Another field in my XML file
<"Topic"> <"/Topic">
are always null and I don't see any problem with sening this field to Elastic

<"Topic"> <"/Topic"> is not indexed

Can you give more context? Which API is raising this issue, is it the index API?

If yes, then what do your documents look like?
