Disabling _all-Field but keep Netflow-Events searchable

Hey guys,

I really want to disable the _all-Field in the ES-Indices to save some
disk-space on our system.

Normally its not the problem - adjust template in ES, and set
"message"-Field to the new default query field, that is normally available
in any event.

The problem is that we also have many netflow-events with the netflow-codec
that have the following form:

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CDQQs5e5a7o/U6lUvjikncI/AAAAAAAAACo/LHpMXlYLMWw/s1600/netflow.PNG

As you might notice there isnt any "message"-field so the Kibana lucene
query would run into an error.

My question is - how do i manage it to make this work (disabling _all-Field
but search in the netflow-events)?

Thanks for response.

Hey,

you can set the index.query.default_field in the mapping to circumvent
this, see

Hey,

thx for your response.

As i already mentioned i tried setting the index.query.default_field to
"message".

{
"template" : "logstash-",
"settings" : {
"index.refresh_interval" : "5s",
"index.number_of_shards" : 3,
"index.number_of_replicas" : 0,
"index.refresh_interval" : "30s",
"index.store.compress.stored" : true,
"index.store.compress.tv" : true,
"index.query.default_field" : "message",
"analysis" : {
"analyzer" : {
"default" : {
"type" : "standard",
"stopwords" : "none"
}
}
}
},
"mappings" : {
"default" : {
"_all" : {"enabled" : false},
"_source": { "compress": true },
"dynamic_templates" : [ {
"string_fields" : {
"match" : "
",
"match_mapping_type" : "string",
"mapping" : {
"type" : "string",
"fields" : {
"{name}" : {"type": "string", "index" : "not_analyzed"}
}
}
}
} ],
"properties" : {
"@version": { "type": "string", "index": "not_analyzed" },
"@timestamp" : { "type" : "date", "index" : "not_analyzed" },
"tags": { "type": "string", "index" : "not_analyzed" }
}
}
}
}

That was the template that i used. This is working fine for all Events
except the Netflow ones, because they dont have a "message"-field for
Kibana to search in. Thats what my mess is.

Is it possible to adjust the template/mapping per type of event?

Cheers

Anyone got an idea how to realize that? I think that there are a few uses
which got Netflow AND other types of events inserting into Elasticsearch
and for those a disabled _all Field would save much hard disk space

This technically sounds like a Kibana question, so you might have better
luck with the Logstash mailing list.

Can't you simply prepend the field name in the query instead of relying on
the default field? You can also change field names in Logstash.

Another option is the copy-to-field. Similar to _all, but with more
flexibility.

Cheers,

Ivan
