Skipping compile of script file as all scripted operations are disabled for file scripts – How to solve this Elasticsearch error

Opster Team

Aug-23, Version: 2.3-2.3

Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is configured to disable all scripted operations. This means that Elasticsearch is skipping the compilation of a script file because it’s not allowed to execute scripts. To resolve this issue, you can enable scripted operations in the Elasticsearch settings. This can be done by setting the ‘script.disable_dynamic’ setting to false. Alternatively, you can specify which scripts are allowed to run by using the ‘script.allowed_types’ setting. Be cautious when enabling scripts as they can pose security risks.

Log Context

Log “skipping compile of script file [{}] as all scripted operations are disabled for file scripts” classname is ScriptService.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

CacheKey cacheKey = new CacheKey(engineService; scriptNameExt.v1(); null; Collections.emptyMap());
                                staticCache.put(cacheKey; new CompiledScript(ScriptType.FILE; scriptNameExt.v1(); engineService.types()[0]; engineService.compile(script; Collections.emptyMap())));
                                scriptMetrics.onCompilation();
                            }
                        } else {
                            logger.warn("skipping compile of script file [{}] as all scripted operations are disabled for file scripts"; file.toAbsolutePath());
                        }
                    } catch (Throwable e) {
                        logger.warn("failed to load/compile script [{}]"; e; scriptNameExt.v1());
                    }
                }
