Index time field extraction from another field

Hi,

I have two fields. Let's say they are field1 and field2. I extract field2 from field1. I also remove some part of field1 to give it appropriate value. Now, if I don't correct value of field1, I get field2. But, if I don't correct field1, I don't get field2 at all.

[transforms.conf]

[autocorrect_field1]
SOURCE_KEY = field1
REGEX = (<regex1>)(<regex2>)(<regex3>)
DEST_KEY = field1
WRITE_META = true
FORMAT = field1::$1$3

[extract_field2]
SOURCE_KEY = field1
REGEX = (<regex1>)(<regex2.1>)(<regex2.2>)(<regex3>)
DEST_KEY = field2
FORMAT = field2::$2
WRITE_META = true

I have also set 101 priority for field2 in props.conf. What is the issue?

Thanks!

Your props.conf needs to specify them in the correct order like this:

TRANSFORMS-correct = autocorrect_field1, extract_field2

Instead of what you are currently doing:

TRANSFORMS-wrong= extract_field2, autocorrect_field1
