=== Script Transform
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A <<transform, Transform>> that executes a script on the current payload in the
|
||
|
|
watch execution context and replaces it with a newly generated one. The following
|
||
|
|
snippet shows how a simple script transform can be defined on the watch level:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TIP: The `script` transform is often useful when used in combination with the
|
||
|
|
<<transform-search, `search`>> transform, where the script can extract only
|
||
|
|
the significant data from a search result, and by that, keep the payload
|
||
|
|
minimal. This can be achieved with the <<transform-chain, `chain`>>
|
||
|
|
transform.

|

|
{
|
||
|
|
"transform" : {
|
||
|
|
"script" : "return [ 'time' : ctx.trigger.scheduled_time ]" <1>
|

|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
<1> A simple `painless` script that creates a new payload with a single `time`
|
||
|
|
field holding the scheduled time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: The executed script may either return a valid model that is the equivalent
|
||
|
|
of a Java(TM) Map or a JSON object (you will need to consult the
|
||
|
|
documentation of the specific scripting language to find out what this
|
||
|
|
construct is). Any other value that is returned will be assigned and
|
||
|
|
accessible to/via the `_value` variable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `script` attribute may hold a string value in which case it will be treated
|
||
|
|
as an inline script and the default elasticsearch script languages will be assumed
|
||
|
|
(as described in {ref}/modules-scripting.html#modules-scripting[here]). You can
|
||
|
|
use the other scripting languages supported by Elasticsearch. For this, you need
|
||
|
|
to set the `script` field to an object describing the script and its language.
|
||
|
|
The following table lists the possible settings that can be configured:

When using the object notation of the script, one (and only one) of `inline`,
|

|
`file` or `id` fields must be defined
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

NOTE: In addition to the provided `params`, the scripts also have access to the

<<watch-execution-context, Standard Watch Execution Context Parameters>>.
