doc['LogMessage.keyword'].size() returns 0 meaning there is no such field when that field exists and has value

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I coded a scripted field named "unique_log_message__" as show below. The whole purpose of such field is to show a unique version of some other field named "LogMessage.keyword". And to get into a unique value, I simply replace possible numbers in the LogMessage with "-".

The super confusing thing that I am facing is that unique_log_message__ retuns as "no logmessage" and that must be because doc['LogMessage.keyword'].size() == 0 when LogMessage.keyword field is present and has a long string as show in below sample.

Please help, I spent hours and hours on this without any luck. I highly appreciate your support on this ....

if (doc['LogMessage.keyword'].size() == 0) {
return "no logmessage"
} else if (!doc['LogMessage.keyword'].empty && doc['LogMessage.keyword'].value != null) {
return /\d+/.matcher(doc['LogMessage.keyword'].value).replaceAll('-');
} else {
return "hello ......";
}

OpenSearch/OpenDistro are AWS run products and differ from the original Elasticsearch and Kibana products that Elastic builds and maintains. You may need to contact them directly for further assistance.

Your field, LogMessage is not a field :slight_smile: Not a document field anyway.

It is listed under the "source": { ... } object, not the "fields": { ... } object. To access it using painless, you need to write something like this (I am very new to painless and quoting from memory):

if (ctx._source.LogMessage.size() == 0) {
 .....
}

I am almost certain that the ctx._source part is correct, but do a Google search for some other examples.
