I was looking for a way to calculate a ratio on Kibana. After many researches i found this way : Using the "JSON Input" feature in a visualisation.
I have all my informations in an index, with 2 types of documents (boots and reboots). I am looking for the script which count the number of documents with the type boots, same for the reboots type then divide the second by the first. It sounds really easy, but i do not find any way to get it after my researches, and i am not used to groovy enough yet to do it by myself.
I found many ways to manipulate documents values (doc['mydocname'].values etc), but nothing about the type.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : I tried this
{
"aggs" : {
"boots_count" : { "value_count" : { "_type" : "boots" } }
}
} Which is supposed to count the number of fields (here the field _type) in the index. But when i put it into "JSON Input" in a visualisation, that results in an error :
Error: Request to Elasticsearch failed: {"error":"SearchPhaseExecutionException[Failed to execute phase [query], all shards failed; shardFailures {[BbXJ0O6tRxa_OcyBfYCGJQ][informationbe][0]: SearchParseException[[informationbe][0]: from[-1],size[0]: Parse Failure [Failed to parse source [{\"size\":0,\"aggs\":{\"2\":{\"terms\":{\"field\":\"@sitePoste\",\"size\":5,\"order\":{\"1\":\"desc\"}},\"aggs\":{\"1\":{\"avg\":{\"script\":\"0\",\"lang\":\"expression\",\"ratio\":{\"boots_count\":{\"value_count\":{\"_type\":\"boots\"}}}}}}}}
I am wrong. But where ?
EDIT2 : In other hand, i am trying scripted fields, with something like this using lucene expression :
doc['_type:boots'].count / doc['_type:reboots'].count
but it doesnt work more, i am pretty confident about the "doc['_type:boots']" part, i guess the problem is on the "XXX.count" part.
After many attempts, i understand better and better how it works. Default scripted fields scope is on the document, not on the whole index, so i cant do a count action of whole values of the index from documents in it. I am looking for a workaround, i'll post it it if find something interesting.
I finally solved my problem :
I added a scripted field, if the type of the document is boots, the scripted field = 1, else 0. Then i created a search with only boots and reboots documents (filter _type:boots _type:reboots) and calculated the average of the scripted field in a metric.
Everything works well !
