How to resolve ILM errors about missing "scaling_factor"?

jerrac · October 27, 2023, 3:46pm

My ILM policy is configured to downsample metrics. The policy does work, and I have metrics being downsampled, but a few indices are stuck with lifecycle errors.

Specifically several .ds-metrics-docker.memory-default... indices.

Index lifecycle error
mapper_parsing_exception: Failed to parse mapping: Field [scaling_factor] is required

The Elasticsearch logs are not much help, I get an error message and a stack trace, but neither tell me anything about which field is missing the scaling_factor.

Here are some fields from the logs I found in Kibana:

elasticsearch.server.error.message:

Failed to parse mapping: Field [scaling_factor] is required

message:

policy [metrics] for index [.ds-metrics-docker.memory-default-2023.10.19-000004] failed on step [{"phase":"warm","action":"downsample","name":"rollup"}]. Moving to ERROR step

I do have a script that runs occasionally to copy all the index templates, make a couple settings changes, and then save them with a higher priority than what Elastic Agent sets. But I do not touch any of mappings, just a couple settings. So I'm not 100% sure that my settings aren't the cause, but I do think it unlikely.

What would help is if there was a way to figure out which field is causing the ILM error. Anyone know a way?

Anyone have any other suggestions on how to resolve this?

Do you have scaled_float in your mappings, perhaps look for those...

What changes...

jerrac · October 27, 2023, 5:17pm

I checked the mappings in the default and custom templates, as well as the mappings on the errored index. All scaled_float mappings have a scaling factor set.

I add this component template to the cluster:

{"template": {"settings": { "index": { "number_of_replicas": "0" }}}}

Then I load the existing metrics-* templates from _index_template/metrics*, modify their names with a prefix, up their priority, and add that component template to the list of component templates for each full template.

So I should have exactly the same mappings as what Elastic Agent sets.

stephenb · October 27, 2023, 5:33pm

What Version?
Are you specifically trying to do downsampling in your ILM?

jerrac · October 27, 2023, 5:53pm

Ah, sorry, 8.10.3 for everything.

Yes.

I am not sure what it is but seems related to Downsampling... and the Mapping not being correct ... perhaps related to your renaming etc...

Do you have a subscription if so, I would open a Support Ticket, I will also see if I can poke around a bit.

If you run _ilm/explain on one of those indices does it show anything

GET /.ds-metrics-docker.memory-default.../_ilm/explain

jerrac · October 27, 2023, 10:54pm

FYI, this is a new test cluster that started at 8.10.3. I'm running it single-node inside docker.

No subscription. I've tried to get one, and it isn't going to happen unless we get a sudden influx of money, or the cost goes way down. Perils of working at a non-profit community college. This is all part of my attempt at forcing the Elastic Stack to work in a way we can actually afford.

No worries on the subscription. I was just asking. We love our basic users !!

I don't have an answer for you but what I would try is to run one of these without doing your renaming thing... It's failing on the roll-up / down sample. And it's looking like on the down sampled result that somehow the mapping is not correct / incorrect.

Per the docs, did you try running down sampling manually

jerrac · October 27, 2023, 11:26pm

Do downsampled indices have the same template as the source index?

I'll figure out the manual run when I get back to the office next week.

Thanks for the help so far.

@mvg Just in case my reply didn't trigger a notification, is my last post the mapping you needed?

@stephenb @mvg So, I ended up doing a completely clean install on 8.11.1. A few days later and the scaling_factor error is back.

Here are the mappings for: .ds-metrics-docker.memory-testswarmstack-2023.11.27-000001

Downsampling an index with a counter field of type scaled_float always fails

Downsampling an index with a counter field of type `scaled_float` always fails. … Reproduction: ``` PUT cpu_metrics { "settings": { "index": { "mode": "time_series", "number_of_replicas": 0, "time_series": { "start_time": "2000-01-01T00:00:00Z", "end_time": "2099-12-31T23:59:59Z" }, "routing_path": [ "hostname" ] } }, "mappings": { "dynamic": "strict", "properties": { "hostname": { "type": "keyword", "time_series_dimension": "true" }, "cumulative_usage_user": { "type": "scaled_float", "scaling_factor": 100, "time_series_metric": "counter" }, "cumulative_usage_system": { "type": "scaled_float", "scaling_factor": 100, "time_series_metric": "counter" }, "cumulative_usage_idle": { "type": "scaled_float", "scaling_factor": 100, "time_series_metric": "counter" }, "cumulative_usage_nice": { "type": "scaled_float", "scaling_factor": 100, "time_series_metric": "counter" }, "@timestamp": { "type": "date" } } } } POST /cpu_metrics/_doc { "hostname": "my-host", "@timestamp": "2000-01-01T00:00:00Z", "cumulative_usage_user": 0, "cumulative_usage_system": 0, "cumulative_usage_idle": 0, "cumulative_usage_nice": 0 } PUT /cpu_metrics/_settings { "index.blocks.write": true } POST cpu_metrics/_downsample/cpu_metrics-downsampled-1h { "fixed_interval": "1h" } ``` Response: ``` { "error": { "root_cause": [ { "type": "mapper_parsing_exception", "reason": "Failed to parse mapping: Field [scaling_factor] is required" } ], "type": "mapper_parsing_exception", "reason": "Failed to parse mapping: Field [scaling_factor] is required", "caused_by": { "type": "illegal_argument_exception", "reason": "Field [scaling_factor] is required" } }, "status": 400 } ``` The end result is that the downsampling process doesn't start and the downsampled index isn't even created. Note that `scaling_factor` is defined in the mappings of the source index, but the downsample operation fails to included it into the mapping of the downsampled index.

Awesome! Thanks!

Just upgraded to 8.12 in test and the lifecycle errors have gone away. Yay!
