Dissecting data
editDissecting data
editDissect matches a single text field against a defined pattern. A dissect pattern is defined by the parts of the string you want to discard. Paying special attention to each part of a string helps to build successful dissect patterns.
If you don’t need the power of regular expressions, use dissect patterns instead of grok. Dissect uses a much simpler syntax than grok and is typically faster overall. The syntax for dissect is transparent: tell dissect what you want and it will return those results to you.
Dissect patterns
editDissect patterns are comprised of variables and separators. Anything
defined by a percent sign and curly braces %{}
is considered a variable,
such as %{clientip}
. You can assign variables to any part of data in a field,
and then return only the parts that you want. Separators are any values between
variables, which could be spaces, dashes, or other delimiters.
For example, let’s say you have log data with a message
field that looks like
this:
"message" : "247.37.0.0 - - [30/Apr/2020:14:31:22 -0500] \"GET /images/hm_nbg.jpg HTTP/1.0\" 304 0"
You assign variables to each part of the data to construct a successful dissect pattern. Remember, tell dissect exactly what you want you want to match on.
The first part of the data looks like an IP address, so you
can assign a variable like %{clientip}
. The next two characters are dashes
with a space on either side. You can assign a variable for each dash, or a
single variable to represent the dashes and spaces. Next are a set of brackets
containing a timestamp. The brackets are a separator, so you include those in
the dissect pattern. Thus far, the data and matching dissect pattern look like
this:
The first chunks of data from the |
|
Dissect pattern to match on the selected data chunks |
Using that same logic, you can create variables for the remaining chunks of
data. Double quotation marks are separators, so include those in your dissect
pattern. The pattern replaces GET
with a %{verb}
variable, but keeps HTTP
as part of the pattern.
\"GET /images/hm_nbg.jpg HTTP/1.0\" 304 0 "%{verb} %{request} HTTP/%{httpversion}" %{response} %{size}
Combining the two patterns results in a dissect pattern that looks like this:
%{clientip} %{ident} %{auth} [%{@timestamp}] \"%{verb} %{request} HTTP/%{httpversion}\" %{status} %{size}
Now that you have a dissect pattern, how do you test and use it?
Test dissect patterns with Painless
editYou can incorporate dissect patterns into Painless scripts to extract data. To test your script, use either the field contexts of the Painless execute API or create a runtime field that includes the script. Runtime fields offer greater flexibility and accept multiple documents, but the Painless execute API is a great option if you don’t have write access on a cluster where you’re testing a script.
For example, test your dissect pattern with the Painless execute API by
including your Painless script and a single document that matches your data.
Start by indexing the message
field as a wildcard
data type:
resp = client.indices.create( index="my-index", mappings={ "properties": { "message": { "type": "wildcard" } } }, ) print(resp)
response = client.indices.create( index: 'my-index', body: { mappings: { properties: { message: { type: 'wildcard' } } } } ) puts response
const response = await client.indices.create({ index: "my-index", mappings: { properties: { message: { type: "wildcard", }, }, }, }); console.log(response);
PUT my-index { "mappings": { "properties": { "message": { "type": "wildcard" } } } }
If you want to retrieve the HTTP response code, add your dissect pattern to a
Painless script that extracts the response
value. To extract values from a
field, use this function:
`.extract(doc["<field_name>"].value)?.<field_value>`
In this example, message
is the <field_name>
and response
is the
<field_value>
:
resp = client.scripts_painless_execute( script={ "source": "\n String response=dissect('%{clientip} %{ident} %{auth} [%{@timestamp}] \"%{verb} %{request} HTTP/%{httpversion}\" %{response} %{size}').extract(doc[\"message\"].value)?.response;\n if (response != null) emit(Integer.parseInt(response)); \n " }, context="long_field", context_setup={ "index": "my-index", "document": { "message": "247.37.0.0 - - [30/Apr/2020:14:31:22 -0500] \"GET /images/hm_nbg.jpg HTTP/1.0\" 304 0" } }, ) print(resp)
const response = await client.scriptsPainlessExecute({ script: { source: '\n String response=dissect(\'%{clientip} %{ident} %{auth} [%{@timestamp}] "%{verb} %{request} HTTP/%{httpversion}" %{response} %{size}\').extract(doc["message"].value)?.response;\n if (response != null) emit(Integer.parseInt(response)); \n ', }, context: "long_field", context_setup: { index: "my-index", document: { message: '247.37.0.0 - - [30/Apr/2020:14:31:22 -0500] "GET /images/hm_nbg.jpg HTTP/1.0" 304 0', }, }, }); console.log(response);
POST /_scripts/painless/_execute { "script": { "source": """ String response=dissect('%{clientip} %{ident} %{auth} [%{@timestamp}] "%{verb} %{request} HTTP/%{httpversion}" %{response} %{size}').extract(doc["message"].value)?.response; if (response != null) emit(Integer.parseInt(response)); """ }, "context": "long_field", "context_setup": { "index": "my-index", "document": { "message": """247.37.0.0 - - [30/Apr/2020:14:31:22 -0500] "GET /images/hm_nbg.jpg HTTP/1.0" 304 0""" } } }
Runtime fields require the |
|
Because the response code is an integer, use the |
|
Include a sample document that matches your data. |
The result includes the HTTP response code:
{ "result" : [ 304 ] }
Use dissect patterns and scripts in runtime fields
editIf you have a functional dissect pattern, you can add it to a runtime field to manipulate data. Because runtime fields don’t require you to index fields, you have incredible flexibility to modify your script and how it functions. If you already tested your dissect pattern using the Painless execute API, you can use that exact Painless script in your runtime field.
To start, add the message
field as a wildcard
type like in the previous
section, but also add @timestamp
as a date
in case you want to operate on
that field for other use cases:
resp = client.indices.create( index="my-index", mappings={ "properties": { "@timestamp": { "format": "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_second", "type": "date" }, "message": { "type": "wildcard" } } }, ) print(resp)
response = client.indices.create( index: 'my-index', body: { mappings: { properties: { "@timestamp": { format: 'strict_date_optional_time||epoch_second', type: 'date' }, message: { type: 'wildcard' } } } } ) puts response
const response = await client.indices.create({ index: "my-index", mappings: { properties: { "@timestamp": { format: "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_second", type: "date", }, message: { type: "wildcard", }, }, }, }); console.log(response);
PUT /my-index/ { "mappings": { "properties": { "@timestamp": { "format": "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_second", "type": "date" }, "message": { "type": "wildcard" } } } }
If you want to extract the HTTP response code using your dissect pattern, you
can create a runtime field like http.response
:
resp = client.indices.put_mapping( index="my-index", runtime={ "http.response": { "type": "long", "script": "\n String response=dissect('%{clientip} %{ident} %{auth} [%{@timestamp}] \"%{verb} %{request} HTTP/%{httpversion}\" %{response} %{size}').extract(doc[\"message\"].value)?.response;\n if (response != null) emit(Integer.parseInt(response));\n " } }, ) print(resp)
const response = await client.indices.putMapping({ index: "my-index", runtime: { "http.response": { type: "long", script: '\n String response=dissect(\'%{clientip} %{ident} %{auth} [%{@timestamp}] "%{verb} %{request} HTTP/%{httpversion}" %{response} %{size}\').extract(doc["message"].value)?.response;\n if (response != null) emit(Integer.parseInt(response));\n ', }, }, }); console.log(response);

After mapping the fields you want to retrieve, index a few records from
your log data into Elasticsearch. The following request uses the bulk API
to index raw log data into my-index
:

You can define a simple query to run a search for a specific HTTP response and
return all related fields. Use the fields
parameter of the search API to
retrieve the http.response
runtime field.
resp = client.search( index="my-index", query={ "match": { "http.response": "304" } }, fields=[ "http.response" ], ) print(resp)
response = client.search( index: 'my-index', body: { query: { match: { 'http.response' => '304' } }, fields: [ 'http.response' ] } ) puts response
const response = await client.search({ index: "my-index", query: { match: { "http.response": "304", }, }, fields: ["http.response"], }); console.log(response);
GET my-index/_search { "query": { "match": { "http.response": "304" } }, "fields" : ["http.response"] }
Alternatively, you can define the same runtime field but in the context of a
search request. The runtime definition and the script are exactly the same as
the one defined previously in the index mapping. Just copy that definition into
the search request under the runtime_mappings
section and include a query
that matches on the runtime field. This query returns the same results as the
search query previously defined for the http.response
runtime field in your
index mappings, but only in the context of this specific search:
resp = client.search( index="my-index", runtime_mappings={ "http.response": { "type": "long", "script": "\n String response=dissect('%{clientip} %{ident} %{auth} [%{@timestamp}] \"%{verb} %{request} HTTP/%{httpversion}\" %{response} %{size}').extract(doc[\"message\"].value)?.response;\n if (response != null) emit(Integer.parseInt(response));\n " } }, query={ "match": { "http.response": "304" } }, fields=[ "http.response" ], ) print(resp)
const response = await client.search({ index: "my-index", runtime_mappings: { "http.response": { type: "long", script: '\n String response=dissect(\'%{clientip} %{ident} %{auth} [%{@timestamp}] "%{verb} %{request} HTTP/%{httpversion}" %{response} %{size}\').extract(doc["message"].value)?.response;\n if (response != null) emit(Integer.parseInt(response));\n ', }, }, query: { match: { "http.response": "304", }, }, fields: ["http.response"], }); console.log(response);
GET my-index/_search { "runtime_mappings": { "http.response": { "type": "long", "script": """ String response=dissect('%{clientip} %{ident} %{auth} [%{@timestamp}] "%{verb} %{request} HTTP/%{httpversion}" %{response} %{size}').extract(doc["message"].value)?.response; if (response != null) emit(Integer.parseInt(response)); """ } }, "query": { "match": { "http.response": "304" } }, "fields" : ["http.response"] }
