I used the templates to get rid of the field name splitting ... It worked for the indices with the name logstash-\*.
But i have a different name and hence it is not working
Is there any other solution.... I am using Kibana 4.1.5 , ElasticSearch-1.7.2, Logstash 2.1.2
my template is something like below
--where 'local1' is my index name and 'data.projectName' is my field name.
{
"template" : "local1",
"mappings" : {
"_default_" : {
"data": {
"properties":{
"projectName":{"type":"string", "index":"not\_analyzed"},
}
}
}
}
}

Can you pull the current mapping of your index by executing:
```auto
GET local1/_mapping
```
If you see split strings in your field data, it is most likely that the field is analyzed.

Sorry, my template was wrong.... i got it when I used the below one
{
"template" : "local1",
"mappings" : {
"_default_" : {
"\_all" : {"enabled" : true},
"dynamic\_templates" : [ {
"string\_fields" : {
"match" : "\*",
"match\_mapping\_type" : "string",
"mapping" : {
"type" : "string", "index" : "analyzed", "omit\_norms" : true,
"fields" : {
"raw" : {"type": "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed"}
}
}
}
} ]
}
}
}
this creates the .raw fields for all the strings fields.... 🙂
