When i write Painless script (from add field), i recieve empty output
def path = doc["message"].value.splitOnToken('"');
emit(path[1]);
But if I open Painless debug, and write
def t = path.splitOnToken('"');
return(t[1]);
I recieve normal value.
Where is error?

What is the field type of message? Doc_values store only columnar field values and text fields are not stored by default. Script fields can access text fields by params._source.message.

Message is text-field. params._source.message not show value.
How use script-filed in Create-field-page?

Are you using version 8? If so, script fields for index pattern are deprecated in 7.13 and there are runtime fields for data views, sorry. These links will help you.

Anyway, params._source.message should work fine. In my environment of 7.17, params._source.agent worked fine for a text field in kibana_sample_data_logs.

It is really work on 8.2. Thank You

Sorry, one more question, how can I check for size (if not null)?
def path=params._source.message.size();
emit(path)
Retirn "Value not set

I've done it
if(params._source.message != null)
{
def path=params._source.message;
def t = path.splitOnToken('"');
emit(t[1]);

}
