如何在Kibana 3仪表板中定义和查看scripted_field？

Question

I have Kibana 3 connected to ElasticSearch. I can successfully query and view data, and create custom dashboards. However, I can't get any scripted field to display in my dashboard.

1. Where should the scripted field be defined in the dashboard? I tried putting this in a few places in my dashboard:

script_fields" : { "test" : { "script" : "testing" } }

2. How should I refer to a scripted field in the dashboard? ie, to display a normal returned field, I use rows.panels.fields = @fields.myfieldname. I've tried @fields.test and @script_fields.test and a few others with no result.

3. Do I need to go to Kibana 4 to realize this functionality?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Dave

Answer 1

You cannot define the scripted fields in a Kibana 3 dashboard. You could predefine your script in your Elasticsearch settings and then query for the scripted field name as a normal fiel, in your case "test".

Kibana 4 will let you define scripted fields on the fly.
