Purpose

Obtain the 1-1 conversation of a specific user directly from the instance without performing a data export.

Solution

  • For private conversations between users, you can query messages from a specific user id like so via the comand line in the HipChat Server. Replace the <user_id> parameter with the user id of your choice:

    curl 'http://localhost:9200/private-*/document/_search?q=from.user_id:<user_id>&pretty'
  • Or private messages to a specific user id using this command instead:

    curl 'http://localhost:9200/private-*/document/_search?q=to.user_id:<user_id>&pretty'

(info) The output will be in json format
