Thank you so much for your reply.

this is what log file says . When I am trying to search. In Dev Tools my query works charm but when I try in Visualization my Query doesn't work

```auto
GET logstashupdate*/_search
{

  "query": {
    "match_all": {}
  },"size": 2000, 
  
  "script_fields": {
    "actionname_sleep":{
      "script": {
        "lang": "painless",
        "source":"def durationvalue= (doc['duration'].value);def actionsleep=doc['actionname.keyword'].value;if(actionsleep== 'Sleep'){ if(durationvalue>60) {return durationvalue}}else{return 0;}"
      }
    }
  }
}

```
