Hi,

You will have to give more details. Have you ingested these two documents in Elasticsearch and then trying to show comparision in Kibana? Where do you want to show the comparision in Kibana? In one of the visualizations?

Thanks,  
Bhavya

Yes n one of the visualizations?

the sample of document:  
{  
"message": "All 102 data ...",  
"bId": "102",  
"sha256": " 102\_sha256\_2",  
"tags": ["tag\_1", "tag\_N"],  
"indicators": ["Ind1", "Ind2, "IND\_NN"],  
"meta\_json": " 102\_2 meta / json --- ..... "  
}  
bid, sha256 and indicators fields have a unique values.  
i should compare indicators and meta\_json fields between 2 documents, these documents I get by bid and sha256  
for instance diff bid 102 and 101 indicators:  
{  
"message": "All 101 data ...",  
"bId": "101",  
"sha256": " 101\_sha256\_1",  
"tags": ["tag\_1", "tag\_N"],  
"indicators": ["Ind1", "Ind12"],  
"meta\_json": " 102\_2 meta / json --- ..... "  
}

the result in indicators should be like "indicators": ["Ind12", "--Ind2", "--Ind\_NN"]  
or in 2 lines  
"indicators": ["Ind12", "--Ind2", "--Ind\_NN"]  
"indicators\_missing": ["Ind2", "Ind\_NN"]

the meta\_json should be treated in the same way.

thanks
