Hi, should be quite a simple question. I'm using kibana with elasticsearch service in AWS. Does anybody knows what is the best way to customise the look of a boolean field values in kibana? The client wants to see those as 'yes'/'no'. Unfortunately I couldn't find how to do it in advanced settings, where field formatting settings are located.

You can configure this in the index pattern - go to Stack management \> Index pattern \> your index pattern \> select your field. Then choose the "Static lookup" formatter and you can set new values for true and false.
