How to get selected log from filebeat index by python

i am using python elasticsearch module to search filebeat log by using using keyword. same as i do in "Kibana Discover" but my search does not return anything.

# make sure ES is up and running
import requests
res = requests.get('http://xxxxx:9200')
print(res.content)


# Import Elasticsearch package 
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch 
# Connect to the elastic cluster

es=Elasticsearch([{'host':'xxxxx','port':9200}],timeout=30)
es

es.search(index='*',  body={
  'query': {
    'match': {
      'message': 'SocketTimeoutException',
     }
  }
})

es

it should give me log file like this but it does not.

message:14:20:01,387 ERROR [com.yuma.jca.sockets.concox] (default-threads - 37) MessageWork SocketTimeoutException for imei: 0358735075610732-> Read timed out @timestamp:Aug 8, 2019 @ 15:20:01.559 ecs.version:1.0.0

but i get like this, only the print connection

b'{\n "name" : "kibana",\n "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",\n "cluster_uuid" : "pspfiiegRre8OOFSsLWIhQ",\n "version" : {\n "number" : "7.2.0",\n "build_flavor" : "default",\n "build_type" : "deb",\n "build_hash" : "508c38a",\n "build_date" : "2019-06-20T15:54:18.811730Z",\n "build_snapshot" : false,\n "lucene_version" : "8.0.0",\n "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "6.8.0",\n "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "6.0.0-beta1"\n },\n "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"\n}\n'

Hi @Fosiul_Alam,

return a result, here you print es which is the connection...

res = es.search(index='*', body={
print('result:', res)

will return the result of the query, i.e a dict with ["hits"]["hits"]...

For information to avoid importing/instaling libs only for this :

# make sure ES is up and running
import requests

you can use ping, already included in elasticsearch-py

https://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html?highlight=ping#elasticsearch.Elasticsearch.ping

Timeout is huge why you need a 30 second timeout there's maybe other problem that can be solved in your configuration??

es.search(index='*',  body={
  'query': {
    'match': {
      'message': 'SocketTimeoutException',
     }
  }

  
})

print('result:', res)

This gives me out put as
result: <Response [200]>

but it should give me the out put of the search result right ? as you mentioned .
what i am doing wrong then ?

es.search(index='*', body={"query": {"match_all": {}}})
#print(res['message'])
print('result:', res['hits'])

The Error I get is : -

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\test.py", line 25, in
print('result:', res['hits'])
TypeError: 'Response' object is not subscriptable

Hi,

You need to assign like in the code I wrote in the previous post.

res = es.search...
print(res)

Your problem is the res that you print is the one you assign in your first line.

Thanks,
this is what i get now with bellow code

data = es.search(index='*', body={
'query': {
'match': {
'message': 'SocketTimeoutException',
}
}
})
print(data['hits'])

if i want only this line which start with 'message' , how shall i pass ?

'message': '04:57:08,075 ERROR [com.yuma.jca.sockets.222] (default-threads - 12) MessageWork SocketTimeoutException for imei: 44444444444-> Read timed out'

Hi,

You need to use a for loop.
https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_for_loops.asp

for one_line in data['hits']['hits']:
    print('one message content: ', one_line.get('message'))

It will print for each line the content of the message key of the dictionary.

You can also check about elasticsearch-dsl it may be more easy to start with.

Hi
Thanks

thsi is i have done

data = es.search(index='filebeat-7.2.0-2019.07.27-000001', body={
'query': {
'match': {
'message': 'SocketTimeoutException',
}
}
})
#print(data['hits']['total']['value'])
print(data['hits']['hits'])
print(" getting one line")
for one_line in data['hits']['hits']:
print('one message content: ', one_line.get('message'))

out put for
print(data['hits']['hits'])

What i am doing wrong ?
Thanks for all your help

Try to debug with pdb to check the structure of the result.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html

You need to understand the structure of "one_line" it suppose to be a dict then you can access the key.

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html?highlight=dictionary#dictionaries

this code works to get the log file starts with 'message' by iterating a List , the Dictionary

data = es.search(index='filebeat-7.2.0-2019.07.27-000001', body={
'query': {
'match': {
'message': 'SocketTimeoutException',
}
}
})
length= len(data['hits']['hits'])
for i in range(length):
print (data['hits']['hits'][i]['_source']['message'])
