Hi all, I'm changing a field name in my index, so I'm trying to set up a field alias so both the old field name and new field name can be used in queries. This is for backward compatibility reasons, since a lot of existing dashboards/reports (many I do not own) refer to this field.
So I set up the field alias, and I find that the field alias works for a normal search (non-tstats), but does not work for tstats. Does that mean field aliases do not work for tstats at all?
I wouldn't be surprised. Remember that tstats work on indexed fields.
fields.conf don't allow for field aliases as far as I remember.
