OK, I've been working on this for a while with tech support and my own testing. Here is the current situation:
Upgraded to LS 7.0
That changed the error above to 'no implicit conversion of nil into Integer'
But either way, I've narrowed the error down to below:
For THIS function:
if [site_rank] and [site_rank]!="" and [site_rank] > 0 {
mutate {
add_tag => ["top1M"]
}
}
if the site_rank field has NOT been populated for some reason, I get the 'no implicit conversion of nil into Integer' error. And the conditional statements above do not seem to prevent the error.
Also tried
if [site_rank] and [site_rank]!="" {
if [site_rank] > 0 {
mutate {
add_tag => ["top1M"]
}
}
}
So, how do I check to see if site_rank is nil?
Is this the solution: Logstash convert Nil values into a number
