=== Transforming data with script fields
If you use {dfeeds}, you can add scripts to transform your data before
it is analyzed. {dfeeds-cap} contain an optional `script_fields` property, where
you can specify scripts that evaluate custom expressions and return script
fields.
If your {dfeed} defines script fields, you can use those fields in your
{anomaly-job}. For example, you can use the script fields in the analysis
functions in one or more detectors.

The following index APIs create and add content to an index that is used in
subsequent examples:

}
----------------------------------
// TEST[skip:SETUP]
<1> In this example, string fields are mapped as `keyword` fields to support
aggregation. If you want both a full text (`text`) and a keyword (`keyword`)
version of the same field, use multi-fields. For more information, see
{ref}/multi-fields.html[fields].

.Example 1: Adding two numerical fields
[source,console]
----------------------------------
PUT _ml/anomaly_detectors/test1
{
"analysis_config":{
"bucket_span": "10m",
"detectors":[
{
"function":"mean",
"field_name": "total_error_count", <1>
"detector_description": "Custom script field transformation"
}
]
},

"time_field":"@timestamp",
"time_format":"epoch_ms"
}
}
PUT _ml/datafeeds/datafeed-test1
{

}
},
"script_fields": {
"total_error_count": { <2>
"script": {
"lang": "expression",
"source": "doc['error_count'].value + doc['aborted_count'].value"
}
}
}
}
----------------------------------
// TEST[skip:needs-licence]
<1> A script field named `total_error_count` is referenced in the detector
within the job.
<2> The script field is defined in the {dfeed}.
This `test1` {anomaly-job} contains a detector that uses a script field in a
mean analysis function. The `datafeed-test1` {dfeed} defines the script field.
It contains a script that adds two fields in the document to produce a "total"
error count.
The syntax for the `script_fields` property is identical to that used by {es}.
For more information, see
{ref}/search-request-body.html#request-body-search-script-fields[Script fields].
You can preview the contents of the {dfeed} by using the following API:
[source,console]
----------------------------------
GET _ml/datafeeds/datafeed-test1/_preview
----------------------------------
// TEST[skip:continued]
In this example, the API returns the following results, which contain a sum of
the `error_count` and `aborted_count` values:
[source,js]
----------------------------------
[
{
"@timestamp": 1490274000000,
"total_error_count": 40476
}
]
----------------------------------
NOTE: This example demonstrates how to use script fields, but it contains
insufficient data to generate meaningful results.
//For a full demonstration of
//how to create jobs with sample data, see <<ml-getting-started>>.
You can alternatively use {kib} to create an advanced {anomaly-job} that uses
script fields. To add the `script_fields` property to your {dfeed}, you must use
the **Edit JSON** tab. For example:

[[ml-configuring-transform-examples]]
==== Common script field examples
While the possibilities are limitless, there are a number of common scenarios
where you might use script fields in your {dfeeds}.
[NOTE]
===============================
Some of these examples use regular expressions. By default, regular
expressions are disabled because they circumvent the protection that Painless
provides against long running and memory hungry scripts. For more information,
see {ref}/modules-scripting-painless.html[Painless scripting language].
Machine learning analysis is case sensitive. For example, "John" is considered
to be different than "john". This is one reason you might consider using scripts
that convert your strings to upper or lowercase letters.

--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[skip:needs-licence]
<1> The script field has a rather generic name in this case, since it will
be used for various tests in the subsequent examples.
<2> The script field uses the plus (+) operator to concatenate strings.
The preview {dfeed} API returns the following results, which show that "JOE"
and "SMITH " have been concatenated and an underscore was added:

}
GET _ml/datafeeds/datafeed-test2/_preview
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[skip:continued]
<1> This script field uses the `toLowerCase` function to convert a string to all
lowercase letters. Likewise, you can use the `toUpperCase{}` function to convert
a string to uppercase letters.
The preview {dfeed} API returns the following results, which show that "JOE"
has been converted to "joe":
[source,js]

the `subString()` function to capitalize the first letter of a string and
converts the remaining characters to lowercase.
The preview {dfeed} API returns the following results, which show that "JOE"
has been converted to "Joe":
[source,js]
----------------------------------

}
GET _ml/datafeeds/datafeed-test2/_preview
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[skip:continued]
<1> This script field looks for a specific regular expression pattern and emits the
matched groups as a concatenated string. If no match is found, it emits an empty
string.
The preview {dfeed} API returns the following results, which show that
"foo-bar-19" has been converted to "foo_19":

If you have a single field that contains a well-formed DNS domain name, you can
use the `domainSplit()` function to split the string into its highest registered
domain and the sub-domain, which is everything to the left of the highest
registered domain. For example, the highest registered domain of
`www.ml.elastic.co` is `elastic.co` and the sub-domain is `www.ml`. The
`domainSplit()` function returns an array of two values: the first value is the
subdomain; the second value is the highest registered domain.
The preview {dfeed} API returns the following results, which show that
"www.ml.elastic.co" has been split into "elastic.co" and "www.ml":
