Hello there,  
in a field of Kibana i have different values.  
Is it possible to generate two kategories for example like good and bad.  
In order to define which values are good and which not.  
So after that i can generate a time series with two line which are aggregating all values of goog and all of bad.

Afterwards i want to administrate this categories when new values appers.  
Or what will better that new values will be automaticly god, till i will Change them to bad.

Is there a way in Kibana i can solve this case?

greetings

Yes. What you are looking for is scripted fields.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html)

Create a new field that does your "good"/"bad" categorization, and then you can use that field when creating charts.
