Hi there We just upgraded from the last 2.2 release to graylog-server-2.3.0-7.noarch and a search script we have no longer works It seems to be that “Accept: application/json” is no longer supported. If I drop the Accept header, it works - but I get CSV format instead of the JSON I want ie curl -m 20 -s -uxxxtoken -H ‘Accept: application/json’ -X GET http…/api/search/universal/absolute?query=blah… returns a “ApiError” error, but dropping the Accept header works. Looking at the API browser, I can see TWO /api/search/universal/absolute options - the latter supposedly supports JSON - but the examples they give are identical - ie no indication how JSON appears (if not by the Accept header) Any ideas how to get the JSON back? Thanks Jason ---

OK, this works (but returns CSV) ```auto curl -X GET 'http://gray.log.servert:12900/search/universal/absolute?query=application_name:squid&from=2017-08-10%2015%3A38%3A53&to=2017-08-10%2016%3A38%3A53&limit=10&fields=message,source,application_name' ``` but this doesn’t ```auto curl -H 'Accept: application/json' -X GET 'http://gray.log.servert:12900/search/universal/absolute?query=application_name:squid&from=2017-08-10%2015%3A38%3A53&to=2017-08-10%2016%3A38%3A53&limit=10&fields=message,source,application_name' ``` It generates the error ```auto {"type":"ApiError","message":""} ``` curl -v shows it’s a “HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error” . So I looked at the graylog server log and it shows this ```auto 2017-08-10T16:43:19.077Z ERROR [AnyExceptionClassMapper] Unhandled exception in REST resource java.lang.NullPointerException: null at org.graylog2.indexer.searches.Searches.lambda$search$3(Searches.java:272) ~[graylog.jar:?] at java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline$3$1.accept(ReferencePipeline.java:193) ~[?:1.8.0_141] at java.util.ArrayList$ArrayListSpliterator.forEachRemaining(ArrayList.java:1374) ~[?:1.8.0_141] at java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.copyInto(AbstractPipeline.java:481) ~[?:1.8.0_141] at java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.wrapAndCopyInto(AbstractPipeline.java:471) ~[?:1.8.0_141] at java.util.stream.ReduceOps$ReduceOp.evaluateSequential(ReduceOps.java:708) ~[?:1.8.0_141] at java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.evaluate(AbstractPipeline.java:234) ~[?:1.8.0_141] at java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline.collect(ReferencePipeline.java:499) ~[?:1.8.0_141] at org.graylog2.indexer.searches.Searches.search(Searches.java:273) ~[graylog.jar:?] at org.graylog2.rest.resources.search.AbsoluteSearchResource.searchAbsolute(AbsoluteSearchResource.java:111) ~[graylog.jar:?] at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor444.invoke(Unknown Source) ~[?:?] at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) ~[?:1.8.0_141] at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) ~[?:1.8.0_141] at org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.internal.ResourceMethodInvocationHandlerFactory$1.invoke(ResourceMethodInvocationHandlerFactory.java:81) ~[graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.internal.AbstractJavaResourceMethodDispatcher$1.run(AbstractJavaResourceMethodDispatcher.java:144) ~[graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.internal.AbstractJavaResourceMethodDispatcher.invoke(AbstractJavaResourceMethodDispatcher.java:161) ~[graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.internal.JavaResourceMethodDispatcherProvider$TypeOutInvoker.doDispatch(JavaResourceMethodDispatcherProvider.java:205) ~[graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.internal.AbstractJavaResourceMethodDispatcher.dispatch(AbstractJavaResourceMethodDispatcher.java:99) ~[graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.ResourceMethodInvoker.invoke(ResourceMethodInvoker.java:389) ~[graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.ResourceMethodInvoker.apply(ResourceMethodInvoker.java:347) ~[graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.server.model.ResourceMethodInvoker.apply(ResourceMethodInvoker.java:102) ~[graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.server.ServerRuntime$2.run(ServerRuntime.java:326) [graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.internal.Errors$1.call(Errors.java:271) [graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.internal.Errors$1.call(Errors.java:267) [graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.internal.Errors.process(Errors.java:315) [graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.internal.Errors.process(Errors.java:297) [graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.internal.Errors.process(Errors.java:267) [graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.process.internal.RequestScope.runInScope(RequestScope.java:317) [graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.server.ServerRuntime.process(ServerRuntime.java:305) [graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.server.ApplicationHandler.handle(ApplicationHandler.java:1154) [graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.jersey.grizzly2.httpserver.GrizzlyHttpContainer.service(GrizzlyHttpContainer.java:384) [graylog.jar:?] at org.glassfish.grizzly.http.server.HttpHandler$1.run(HttpHandler.java:224) [graylog.jar:?] at com.codahale.metrics.InstrumentedExecutorService$InstrumentedRunnable.run(InstrumentedExecutorService.java:176) [graylog.jar:?] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149) [?:1.8.0_141] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624) [?:1.8.0_141] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) [?:1.8.0_141] ``` ---
