Hello All,

I have a field tag in which I have two kinds of values as below,  
tags: targetgeo:china,targetgeo:iran,geolocation:australia,geolocation:china

I wanted to group and visualize using geo field values i.e china-2,iran-1,australia-1

But currently I am getting targetgeo:china-1,targetgeo:iran-1,geolocation:australia-1,geolocation:china-1  
Is there anyway I can parse the field after :and can visualize?

Also I can see some blogs where I can achive this using script field. Can somebody guide me with this as I am new to scripting and KQL.

I recommend doing the parsing and splitting at ingest, but if you just want to try, the documentation for scripted fields is here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html)  
Most of the reference is linked in there.
