Kibana was working just fine but now the below error appears each time I search in the "Discover" panel. It appeard on version 5.3.0, I upgraded to 5.3.1 but still got the error. Looking at the "script" in the error it seems that there is a } missing at the end. I'm new to Kibana so I don't really know where this script is coming from or how to fix it... ``` Error: Request to Elasticsearch failed: { "error": { "root_cause": [{ "type": "script_exception", "reason": "compile error", "script_stack": ["... return \"no exception\";\n}", " ^---- HERE"], "script": "def message = doc['message.keyword'].value;\nif (doc['message.message'].value =~ /Caught exception in Exception Strategy/) {\n int lastSlashIndex = path.lastIndexOf(':');\n if (lastSlashIndex > 0) {\n return path.substring(lastSlashIndex+1);\n} else {\n return \"no exception\";\n}", "lang": "painless" }], "type": "search_phase_execution_exception", "reason": "all shards failed", "phase": "query", "grouped": true, "failed_shards": [{ "shard": 0, "index": "filebeat-2017.05.01", "node": "-iVxCmFyRLK-KscU_yKuPA", "reason": { "type": "script_exception", "reason": "compile error", "script_stack": ["... return \"no exception\";\n}", " ^---- HERE"], "script": "def message = doc['message.keyword'].value;\nif (doc['message.message'].value =~ /Caught exception in Exception Strategy/) {\n int lastSlashIndex = path.lastIndexOf(':');\n if (lastSlashIndex > 0) {\n return path.substring(lastSlashIndex+1);\n} else {\n return \"no exception\";\n}", "lang": "painless", "caused_by": { "type": "illegal_argument_exception", "reason": "unexpected token [''] was expecting one of ['}']." } } }], "caused_by": { "type": "script_exception", "reason": "compile error", "script_stack": ["... return \"no exception\";\n}", " ^---- HERE"], "script": "def message = doc['message.keyword'].value;\nif (doc['message.message'].value =~ /Caught exception in Exception Strategy/) {\n int lastSlashIndex = path.lastIndexOf(':');\n if (lastSlashIndex > 0) {\n return path.substring(lastSlashIndex+1);\n} else {\n return \"no exception\";\n}", "lang": "painless", "caused_by": { "type": "illegal_argument_exception", "reason": "unexpected token [''] was expecting one of ['}']." } } }, "status": 500 } at http: //myserver:5601/bundles/kibana.bundle.js?v=14844:28:15872 at Function.Promise.try(http: //myserver:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=14844:75:22403) at http: //myserver:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=14844:75:21773 at Array.map(native) at Function.Promise.map(http: //myserver:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=14844:75:21728) at callResponseHandlers(http: //myserver:5601/bundles/kibana.bundle.js?v=14844:28:15484) at http: //myserver:5601/bundles/kibana.bundle.js?v=14844:28:3614 at processQueue(http: //myserver:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=14844:38:23621) at http: //myserver:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=14844:38:23888 at Scope.$eval(http: //myserver:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=14844:39:4619) ``` Script with a missing } at the end ``` def message = doc['message.keyword'].value; if (doc['message.message'].value = ~/Caught exception in Exception Strategy/) { int lastSlashIndex = path.lastIndexOf(':'); if (lastSlashIndex > 0) { return path.substring(lastSlashIndex + 1); } else { return "no exception"; } ``` ---

Hi, Sorry am a bit lost here. Can you please post a screenshot of the error? I am trying to figure out where are you on Kibana and what are you trying to do? Thanks, Bhavya ---

Hi Chris, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. It looks like you might have created a scripted field which is not compiling correctly. Can you go to management - click on index pattern - filebeat and delete any scripted fields you may have created. This should ideally fix the error. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/2/b2e1286e3367ddda69c9cbfa2a27bcf3a71e9314.jpg) If you need to create scripted fields - here is the documentation on it. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html) Thanks, Bhavya ---

That was exactly it. Not sure how that script got created but I'll remember to look there if I run in similars errors again. Thank you so much !!! ---
