Script exception runtime error

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi there,

i have created scripted field for one of my index and here is the script:

def path = doc['request_id.keyword'].value;

if (path != null) {

    def first = path.indexOf("_");

    def second = first + 1 + path.substring(first + 1).indexOf("_");

    def last = path.lastIndexOf("_");

    return path.substring(first + 1, second);

}
return "";

but when i go to discover and load data for last 2 hours, i receive some error. Here is the detail:

{
  "took" : 4225,
  "timed_out" : false,

          }
        }
      }
    ]
  },

can you help me to solve this problem?

The "reason" property tells you what's happening:

You need to check whether a field exists on a document before accessing it.

actually this is a .keyword field and the script aims to solve it. Here is the sample of the request_id value

the situation is same as you say. my request_id is indexed as text field and that's why i created request_id.keyword field in my mappings

The error is not about keyword vs text - you have at least one document in your index which doesn't have a value for this field at all. Either make sure every single document has a value for that field or add the safeguard for only accessing the field if it's set on the current document
