Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create a simple scripted field in my index of ES. Basically, I have a field "attempResult" in my index that could be null when the grok(logstash pattern) does not match, or "Successful", "Failed" in the cases in which the pattern match.

So, what I would like is to create a field (number) with the value of 1 when the field 'attemptResult' is "failed", and 0 in the case it is "Successful". I'm trying to create that on the script section of the scripted field definition by using 🙂

if(doc['attemptResult.keyword'] == ("Sucessful")){  
return 0;  
}  
if(doc['attemptResult.keyword'] == ("Failed")){  
return 1;  
}

but when i run it, it always adds null value to the scripted field,

any suggestion?

Thanks su much,

When the value is null, what would you like it to return, null, 1 or 0?

I assume you want it always to return 1 or 0. In that case, you could modify the scripted field to return 0 when successful, and 1 otherwise:

```auto
if(doc['attemptResult.keyword'] == ("Sucessful")){
return 0;
}

return 1;

```
