Kibana 4 : Url not formatted properly

I have a field in my index like

path: /abc/nvb/jklk.txt

I autoindex it as string and it is displayed as above. Now, i want to convert it to a url. So in the index settings in Kibana, i apply set this field as a Url and apply

Url Template

hostname:portNumber#{{value}}

Label template

{{value}}

now this field appears as a link in my discover view. But when i click on it, it navigates to 

hostName:portNumber#%2Fabc%2Fnvb%2Fjklk.txt

why did all of my /s get replaced by %2F ? Note that, i was expecting the link to navigate to

hostName:portNumber#/abc/nvb/jklk.txt

which is indeed a valid url

I have tried putting the value as

path: //abc//nvb//jklk.txt

and even

path: \/abc\/nvb\/jklk.txt

but the result is the same. The slashes always get encoded. Is there a way to solve this? Will I have to modify my mapping?

Solution

  • it should be

    Url Template

    hostname:portNumber#{{rawValue}}
