0

Been reading this Run Elasticsearch API requests | Kibana Guide [7.15] | Elastic and im having doubst, can anyone help me create a json request to run from python to do this?

this is the link that i whant to convert to json request:
https://log-viewer.dev/app/logtrail#/q="var1"%20AND%20"var2"&h=All&t=Now&i=filebeat-*&_g=()

Been playing with this but i get the html of the page not the response

import requests

url = "https://log-viewer.dev/app/logtrail#/?i=filebeat-*&_g=()&q="

payload={}
headers = {
        'text': 'flow',
        'date': '2021-10-25'
}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload, timeout=55)

print(response.text)

Im getting

> {
>     "statusCode": 404,
>     "error": "Not Found",
>     "message": "Not Found"
> }

Welcome to our community! :smiley:

It's not clear why you are querying logtrail here, and not Elasticsearch directly. Can you elaborate why you are taking this approach?

its the first time im doing this, so maybe im not doing it the right way.

I have a python program and i need to get the result from the search above, i thought ib doing it thru a json request, do you advice doing this in a diferent way?

I don't know logtrail but does it have an API? If not, then you will need to query Elasticsearch directly.

5

yes, it can be done, i have a link in my post, just having dificultys setting it up, thats why i decide to ask for some help.

Am i in the wrong section?

I am not sure what sort of logtrail experience people here have, so it's unlikely we will be unable to help with that aspect. You will need to ask the logtrail devs/community if you really want to go that route.

However, you can definitely request Elasticsearch directly with Python. eg from Python Elasticsearch Client — Elasticsearch 7.15.1 documentation and making a super basic example;

from datetime import datetime
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
es = Elasticsearch()

res = es.search(index="filebeat-*", query={"match_all": {}})
print("Got %d Hits:" % res['hits']['total']['value'])
for hit in res['hits']['hits']:
    print("%(timestamp)s %(author)s: %(text)s" % hit["_source"])

Thank you :slight_smile:

do i need to set user and password?

i got

elasticsearch.exceptions.ConnectionError: ConnectionError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fe1a2c3c940>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 61] Connection refused) caused by: NewConnectionError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fe1a2c3c940>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 61] Connection refused)

Yep, use something like;

        'http://user:secret@localhost:9200/',

no need to add user or pass

es = Elasticsearch('https://log-viewer.dev/app/logtrail')
print(es) 

res = es.search(index="filebeat-*", query={"match_all": {}})
print("Got %d Hits:" % res['hits']['total']['value'])
for hit in res['hits']['hits']:
    print("%(timestamp)s %(author)s: %(text)s" % hit["_source"])

<Elasticsearch([{'host': 'log-viewer.dev', 'port': 443, 'use_ssl': True, 'url_prefix': '/app/logtrail'}])>

raise HTTP_EXCEPTIONS.get(status_code, TransportError)(
elasticsearch.exceptions.TransportError: TransportError(301, '')

Something is missing :s

The examples above are not for logtrail, they are for talking directly to Elasticsearch.

do you know a way to connect to logtrail then? this is just a log i only need to get the data
