API Stability Long-Term

The fieldAliasSchemaOnView() GraphQL query is used to retrieve the active schema and its field aliases of a view.

To get all of the schemas for any field aliases, use the fieldAliasSchemas(). To add field aliases, use the addFieldAliasMapping() mutation.

Syntax

graphql
fieldAliasSchemaOnView(
      repoOrViewName: string!
   ): FieldAliasSchema!

For the input of this query, give the name of the repository or view you want to query within quote marks. For the results, you can request a schema's ID and name, a list of fields and other items (see the Returned Datatype section).

Example

Here's an example of how you might use this query field:

Raw
graphql
query {
  fieldAliasSchemaOnView(repoOrViewName: "humio") {
    id, name, fields {
      description
    }
  }
}
Mac OS or Linux (curl)
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "query {
  fieldAliasSchemaOnView(repoOrViewName: \"humio\") {
    id, name, fields {
      description
    }
  }
}"
}
EOF
Mac OS or Linux (curl) One-line

{"query" : "query {
  fieldAliasSchemaOnView(repoOrViewName: \"humio\") {
    id, name, fields {
      description
    }

}

Returned Datatype

The returned datatype is used to request a schema's unique identifier and name. You can also request a list of fields and their descriptions for the schema, and mapping of instances. The table below lists and describes these and others, as well as provides links to sub-parameters for more details.
