Hi everybody,
I cannot figure out how to get the index name in a facet script with ES
0.90.13.
I tried the following syntax but neither of them didn't work:
with doc:
- {\*
- "size": 0, \*
- "facets" : {\*
-
```
"indices" : { "terms" : {"script" : "doc['_index'].value"} }*
```
- }\*
- }\*
with \_source:
- {\*
- "size": 0, \*
- "facets" : {\*
-
```
"indices" : { "terms" : {"script" : "_source['_index']"} }*
```
- }\*
- }\*
Both of 2 syntax above return:
"facets": {
"indices": {
"\_type": "terms",
"missing": 36289,
"total": 0,
"other": 0,
"terms": []
}
}
Should I use my own field instead of the built-in "\_index" ?
Thanks.

I finally figured out that I forgot to enable the "\_index" field in my
mapping as it's disabled by default:
"\_index": {
"enabled": true
}
