Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to interpret a field as a time value during an action parsing process. This could be due to incorrect formatting or data type mismatch. To resolve this issue, you can: 1) Check the format of the time value and ensure it matches the expected format. 2) Verify the data type of the field, it should be a date or a string that can be parsed into a date. 3) If you’re using a mapping, ensure the field is correctly mapped as a date type.
This guide will help you check for common problems that cause the log ” could not parse action [{}/{}]. failed to parse field [{}] as time value ” to appear. To understand the issues related to this log, read the explanation below about the following Elasticsearch concepts: plugin.
Log Context
Log “could not parse action [{}/{}]. failed to parse field [{}] as time value” class name is ActionWrapper.java. We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
throttlePeriod = timeValueMillis(parser.longValue());
} else if (ThrottlerField.THROTTLE_PERIOD_HUMAN.match(currentFieldName; parser.getDeprecationHandler())) {
try {
throttlePeriod = WatcherDateTimeUtils.parseTimeValue(parser; ThrottlerField.THROTTLE_PERIOD_HUMAN.toString());
} catch (ElasticsearchParseException pe) {
throw new ElasticsearchParseException("could not parse action [{}/{}]. failed to parse field [{}] as time value";
pe; watchId; actionId; currentFieldName);
}
} else if (WatchField.MAX_ITERATIONS.match(currentFieldName; parser.getDeprecationHandler())) {
maxIterations = parser.intValue();
} else {
