I've been trying to create a scripted field in which i want to make a URL which directs me to a specific APM timeline page. The values I want to add to this URL are filters which are needed to select te specific transaction in APM. When i try to create this field I keep getting an error telling me there are no values in 2/4 fields. The error is: ```auto { "root_cause": [ { "type": "script_exception", "reason": "runtime error", "script_stack": [ "org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.ScriptDocValues$Strings.get(ScriptDocValues.java:496)", "org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.ScriptDocValues$Strings.getValue(ScriptDocValues.java:503)", "'https://xxx/xxx/xxx/xxxrangeFrom=now-1h&rangeTo=now&traceId=' + doc['trace.id'].value + '&transactionId=' + doc['transaction.id'].value + '&transactionName=' + doc['transaction.name'].value + '&transactionType=' + doc['transaction.type'].value", " ^---- HERE" ], "script": "'https://xxx/xxx/xxx/xxxrangeFrom=now-1h&rangeTo=now&traceId=' + doc['trace.id'].value + '&transactionId=' + doc['transaction.id'].value + '&transactionName=' + doc['transaction.name'].value + '&transactionType=' + doc['transaction.type'].value", "lang": "painless", "position": { "offset": 184, "start": 0, "end": 244 } } ], "type": "search_phase_execution_exception", "reason": "Partial shards failure", "phase": "fetch", "grouped": true, "failed_shards": [ { "shard": 0, "index": "apm-2020.47-esdec-backend-error-7.8.1", "node": "uvVVVbE9RRGTnxaF6_S73g", "reason": { "type": "script_exception", "reason": "runtime error", "script_stack": [ "org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.ScriptDocValues$Strings.get(ScriptDocValues.java:496)", "org.elasticsearch.index.fielddata.ScriptDocValues$Strings.getValue(ScriptDocValues.java:503)", "'https://xxx/xxx/xxx/xxxrangeFrom=now-1h&rangeTo=now&traceId=' + doc['trace.id'].value + '&transactionId=' + doc['transaction.id'].value + '&transactionName=' + doc['transaction.name'].value + '&transactionType=' + doc['transaction.type'].value", " ^---- HERE" ], "script": "'https://xxx/xxx/xxx/xxxrangeFrom=now-1h&rangeTo=now&traceId=' + doc['trace.id'].value + '&transactionId=' + doc['transaction.id'].value + '&transactionName=' + doc['transaction.name'].value + '&transactionType=' + doc['transaction.type'].value", "lang": "painless", "position": { "offset": 184, "start": 0, "end": 244 }, "caused_by": { "type": "illegal_state_exception", "reason": "A document doesn't have a value for a field! Use doc[].size()==0 to check if a document is missing a field!" } } } ] ``` When I check in discovery my fields definetly do have values. I can't figure out what the problem is. Anybody has any idea? ---

Hi Matthias! Thank you for the reply. The fields which are causing the trouble are transaction.type and transaction.name. I get the following mappings: ``` { "apm-2020.48-xxxx-error-7.9.2" : { "mappings" : { "transaction.name" : { "full_name" : "transaction.name", "mapping" : { "name" : { "type" : "keyword", "fields" : { "text" : { "type" : "text", "norms" : false } }, "ignore_above" : 1024 } } } } } ``` and ``` "apm-2020.48-xxxx-transaction-7.9.2" : { "mappings" : { "transaction.name" : { "full_name" : "transaction.name", "mapping" : { "name" : { "type" : "keyword", "fields" : { "text" : { "type" : "text", "norms" : false } }, "ignore_above" : 1024 } } } } } ``` and ``` "apm-2020.49-xxxx-metric-7.9.2" : { "mappings" : { "transaction.type" : { "full_name" : "transaction.type", "mapping" : { "type" : { "type" : "keyword", "ignore_above" : 1024 } } } } } ``` These are the few I got from the administrator atm. He told me there were a lot though. Is this enough information? Kind regards, Sam ---
