Hi

I need to add another field in Kibana. How can we add Interest plus penalty? In SQL it would be very simple to add a parameter by just puting + sign.

I know we can add a new scripted fields inside kibana by doing this:

Go to Settings \> Indices  
Select the index pattern you want to add a scripted field to.  
Go to the pattern’s Scripted Fields tab.  
Click Add Scripted Field.  
Enter a name for the scripted field.  
Enter the expression that you want to use to compute a value on the fly from your index data.  
Click Save Scripted Field.

If you don't want to index documents with the value then scripted fields are how you do this 🙂
