Parameters

ParameterDetails
indexRootThe root name of the index to hit, the format is expected to be fmt.Sprintf("%s-%s", index_root, d.Format("2006.01.02"))
keyStringCreates groups (like tagsets) and can also filter those groups. It is the format of "field:regex,field:regex...". The :regex can be ommited.
filterStringAn Elastic regexp query that can be applied to any field. It is in the same format as the keystring argument.
fieldThe field in ElasticSearch to perform the operation on. Must be a numeric field.
rStatCan be one of avg, min, max, sum, sum_of_squares, variance, std_deviation
bucketDurationThe same format is an opentsdb duration, and is the size of buckets returned (i.e. counts for every 10 minutes)
startDurationset the time window from now - see the OpenTSDB q() function for more details.
endDurationset the time window from now - see the OpenTSDB q() function for more details.

Remarks

Deprecation

The LogStash query functions are deprecated, and only for use with v1.x of ElasticSearch. If you are running v2 or above of ElasticSearch, then you should refer to the Elastic Query functions.

Caveats

  • There is currently no escaping in the keystring, so if you regex needs to have a comma or double quote you are out of luck.
  • The regexs in keystring are applied twice. First as a regexp filter to elastic, and then as a go regexp to the keys of the result. This is because the value could be an array and you will get groups that should be filtered. This means regex language is the intersection of the golang regex spec and the elastic regex spec. Elastic uses lucene style regex. This means regexes are always anchored (see the documentation).
  • If the type of the field value in Elastic (aka the mapping) is a number then the regexes won’t act as a regex. The only thing you can do is an exact match on the number, ie “eventlogid:1234”. It is recommended that anything that is a identifier should be stored as a string since they are not numbers even if they are made up entirely of numerals.
  • Alerts using this information likely want to set ignoreUnknown, since only “groups” that appear in the time frame are in the results
