REST Management API - Cannot get it to work with DLS

[Terry Quigley]

Hi

Do you have any examples of how a _dls_ query should be written via the Roles API . I can't find any documentation with examples. This post states it should be supported https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/search-guard/KLGE1vxdAxQ 

If I save down the following example the query is ignored:

{"indices":{"*":{"*":["SEARCH"],"_dls_":"'{\"bool\":{\"filter\":[{\"type\":{\"value\":\"countries\"}}]}}'"}}}

This is how it is stored when I query via sg_admin.

_dls_: "'{\"bool\":{\"filter\":[{\"type\":{\"value\":\"countries\"}}]}}'"

I can also use sg_admin to reload the role so that the start / end quotes and the escaping backslashes are removed. This works: 

_dls_: '{"bool" : {"filter": {"type" : { "value" : "countries"}}}}'

but I can't save it down like that via the REST API.

How should I proceed ?

Thanks

After wrestling with this for a day I solved it within minutes of posting this question :

The answer was not to use single quotes anywhere when saving the _dls_ field down via the REST API.

It would be good if this were documented somewhere though.

Thanks
