[role="xpack"] [testenv="basic"] [[dataframe-examples]] == {transform-cap} examples ++++ Examples ++++ beta[] These examples demonstrate how to use {transforms} to derive useful insights from your data. All the examples use one of the {kibana-ref}/add-sample-data.html[{kib} sample datasets]. For a more detailed, step-by-step example, see <>. * <> * <> * <> * <> include::ecommerce-example.asciidoc[] [[example-best-customers]] === Finding your best customers In this example, we use the eCommerce orders sample dataset to find the customers who spent the most in our hypothetical webshop. Let's transform the data such that the destination index contains the number of orders, the total price of the orders, the amount of unique products and the average price per order, and the total amount of ordered products for each customer. [source,console] ---------------------------------- POST _data_frame/transforms/_preview { "source": { "index": "kibana_sample_data_ecommerce" }, "dest" : { <1> "index" : "sample_ecommerce_orders_by_customer" }, "pivot": { "group_by": { <2> "user": { "terms": { "field": "user" }}, "customer_id": { "terms": { "field": "customer_id" }} }, "aggregations": { "order_count": { "value_count": { "field": "order_id" }}, "total_order_amt": { "sum": { "field": "taxful_total_price" }}, "avg_amt_per_order": { "avg": { "field": "taxful_total_price" }}, "avg_unique_products_per_order": { "avg": { "field": "total_unique_products" }}, "total_unique_products": { "cardinality": { "field": "products.product_id" }} } } } ---------------------------------- // TEST[skip:setup kibana sample data] <1> This is the destination index for the {dataframe}. It is ignored by `_preview`. <2> Two `group_by` fields have been selected. This means the {dataframe} will contain a unique row per `user` and `customer_id` combination. Within this dataset both these fields are unique. By including both in the {dataframe} it gives more context to the final results. NOTE: In the example above, condensed JSON formatting has been used for easier readability of the pivot object. The preview {transforms} API enables you to see the layout of the {dataframe} in advance, populated with some sample values. For example: [source,js] ---------------------------------- { "preview" : [ { "total_order_amt" : 3946.9765625, "order_count" : 59.0, "total_unique_products" : 116.0, "avg_unique_products_per_order" : 2.0, "customer_id" : "10", "user" : "recip", "avg_amt_per_order" : 66.89790783898304 }, ... ] } ---------------------------------- // NOTCONSOLE This {dataframe} makes it easier to answer questions such as: * Which customers spend the most? * Which customers spend the most per order? * Which customers order most often? * Which customers ordered the least number of different products? It's possible to answer these questions using aggregations alone, however {dataframes} allow us to persist this data as a customer centric index. This enables us to analyze data at scale and gives more flexibility to explore and navigate data from a customer centric perspective. In some cases, it can even make creating visualizations much simpler. [[example-airline]] === Finding air carriers with the most delays In this example, we use the Flights sample dataset to find out which air carrier had the most delays. First, we filter the source data such that it excludes all the cancelled flights by using a query filter. Then we transform the data to contain the distinct number of flights, the sum of delayed minutes, and the sum of the flight minutes by air carrier. Finally, we use a {ref}/search-aggregations-pipeline-bucket-script-aggregation.html[`bucket_script`] to determine what percentage of the flight time was actually delay. [source,console] ---------------------------------- POST _data_frame/transforms/_preview { "source": { "index": "kibana_sample_data_flights", "query": { <1> "bool": { "filter": [ { "term": { "Cancelled": false } } ] } } }, "dest" : { <2> "index" : "sample_flight_delays_by_carrier" }, "pivot": { "group_by": { <3> "carrier": { "terms": { "field": "Carrier" }} }, "aggregations": { "flights_count": { "value_count": { "field": "FlightNum" }}, "delay_mins_total": { "sum": { "field": "FlightDelayMin" }}, "flight_mins_total": { "sum": { "field": "FlightTimeMin" }}, "delay_time_percentage": { <4> "bucket_script": { "buckets_path": { "delay_time": "delay_mins_total.value", "flight_time": "flight_mins_total.value" }, "script": "(params.delay_time / params.flight_time) * 100" } } } } } ---------------------------------- // TEST[skip:setup kibana sample data] <1> Filter the source data to select only flights that were not cancelled. <2> This is the destination index for the {dataframe}. It is ignored by `_preview`. <3> The data is grouped by the `Carrier` field which contains the airline name. <4> This `bucket_script` performs calculations on the results that are returned by the aggregation. In this particular example, it calculates what percentage of travel time was taken up by delays. The preview shows you that the new index would contain data like this for each carrier: [source,js] ---------------------------------- { "preview" : [ { "carrier" : "ES-Air", "flights_count" : 2802.0, "flight_mins_total" : 1436927.5130677223, "delay_time_percentage" : 9.335543983955839, "delay_mins_total" : 134145.0 }, ... ] } ---------------------------------- // NOTCONSOLE This {dataframe} makes it easier to answer questions such as: * Which air carrier has the most delays as a percentage of flight time? NOTE: This data is fictional and does not reflect actual delays or flight stats for any of the featured destination or origin airports. [[example-clientips]] === Finding suspicious client IPs by using scripted metrics With {transforms}, you can use {ref}/search-aggregations-metrics-scripted-metric-aggregation.html[scripted metric aggregations] on your data. These aggregations are flexible and make it possible to perform very complex processing. Let's use scripted metrics to identify suspicious client IPs in the web log sample dataset. We transform the data such that the new index contains the sum of bytes and the number of distinct URLs, agents, incoming requests by location, and geographic destinations for each client IP. We also use a scripted field to count the specific types of HTTP responses that each client IP receives. Ultimately, the example below transforms web log data into an entity centric index where the entity is `clientip`. [source,console] ---------------------------------- POST _data_frame/transforms/_preview { "source": { "index": "kibana_sample_data_logs", "query": { <1> "range" : { "timestamp" : { "gte" : "now-30d/d" } } } }, "dest" : { <2> "index" : "sample_weblogs_by_clientip" }, "pivot": { "group_by": { <3> "clientip": { "terms": { "field": "clientip" } } }, "aggregations": { "url_dc": { "cardinality": { "field": "url.keyword" }}, "bytes_sum": { "sum": { "field": "bytes" }}, "geo.src_dc": { "cardinality": { "field": "geo.src" }}, "agent_dc": { "cardinality": { "field": "agent.keyword" }}, "geo.dest_dc": { "cardinality": { "field": "geo.dest" }}, "responses.total": { "value_count": { "field": "timestamp" }}, "responses.counts": { <4> "scripted_metric": { "init_script": "state.responses = ['error':0L,'success':0L,'other':0L]", "map_script": """ def code = doc['response.keyword'].value; if (code.startsWith('5') || code.startsWith('4')) { state.responses.error += 1 ; } else if(code.startsWith('2')) { state.responses.success += 1; } else { state.responses.other += 1; } """, "combine_script": "state.responses", "reduce_script": """ def counts = ['error': 0L, 'success': 0L, 'other': 0L]; for (responses in states) { counts.error += responses['error']; counts.success += responses['success']; counts.other += responses['other']; } return counts; """ } }, "timestamp.min": { "min": { "field": "timestamp" }}, "timestamp.max": { "max": { "field": "timestamp" }}, "timestamp.duration_ms": { <5> "bucket_script": { "buckets_path": { "min_time": "timestamp.min.value", "max_time": "timestamp.max.value" }, "script": "(params.max_time - params.min_time)" } } } } } ---------------------------------- // TEST[skip:setup kibana sample data] <1> This range query limits the {transform} to documents that are within the last 30 days at the point in time the {transform} checkpoint is processed. For batch {dataframes} this occurs once. <2> This is the destination index for the {dataframe}. It is ignored by `_preview`. <3> The data is grouped by the `clientip` field. <4> This `scripted_metric` performs a distributed operation on the web log data to count specific types of HTTP responses (error, success, and other). <5> This `bucket_script` calculates the duration of the `clientip` access based on the results of the aggregation. The preview shows you that the new index would contain data like this for each client IP: [source,js] ---------------------------------- { "preview" : [ { "geo" : { "src_dc" : 12.0, "dest_dc" : 9.0 }, "clientip" : "0.72.176.46", "agent_dc" : 3.0, "responses" : { "total" : 14.0, "counts" : { "other" : 0, "success" : 14, "error" : 0 } }, "bytes_sum" : 74808.0, "timestamp" : { "duration_ms" : 4.919943239E9, "min" : "2019-06-17T07:51:57.333Z", "max" : "2019-08-13T06:31:00.572Z" }, "url_dc" : 11.0 }, ... } ---------------------------------- // NOTCONSOLE This {dataframe} makes it easier to answer questions such as: * Which client IPs are transferring the most amounts of data? * Which client IPs are interacting with a high number of different URLs? * Which client IPs have high error rates? * Which client IPs are interacting with a high number of destination countries?
