I am using ELK – 7.12.1 version and currently I am looking for a way to filter-out the weekends(Saturdays and Sundays) from my dashboard view. On my Dashboard I have (Vertical Bar, Line, Data table, Pie & Gauge) chart visualizations. From all these I would want to filter out the weekends. Basically I want to exclude weekends from dashboard, So is it possible to do that? If so please let me know the ways to achieve the same. Thanks in advance. ---

One way to achieve this is to create a scripted field. For example, the scripted field will return 1 for weekdays and 0 for weekends. Then filter the dashboard for documents that have 1 and not 0. Good luck! ---

Ok Aclerk thanks for the pointer. the below is my scripted field. ```auto Name: filter-weekend Language: painless Type: number Format: Default Popularity: 0 Script: doc['timestamp'].value.getDayOfWeekEnum() **Preview Result:-** [ { "_id": "38009464", "filter-weekend": [ "FRIDAY" ] }, { "_id": "38026158", "filter-weekend": [ "FRIDAY" ] }, { "_id": "38030065", "filter-weekend": [ "FRIDAY" ] }, { "_id": "38035442", "filter-weekend": [ "SATURDAY" ] }, { "_id": "37688636", "filter-weekend": [ "SATURDAY" ] }, With this still i can see the weekends(Saturday and Sunday). ``` ---

> [@mohanss08](#): > > `getDayOfWeekEnum` I would use `int getDayOfWeek()` and not enum. Secondly, How did you get **Preview Result:-**? where is your filter? ---

> doc['timestamp'].value.getDayOfWeek() Preview result:- ```auto [ { "_id": "38009464", "filter-weekend": [ 5 ] }, { "_id": "38026158", "filter-weekend": [ 5 ] }, { "_id": "38030065", "filter-weekend": [ 5 ] }, { "_id": "38035442", "filter-weekend": [ 6 ] }, ``` With the above code it prints days in numbers but still i can see `6` Saturday. My preview result filter is `timestamp`. ---

What did you run to get these results? This is what you should run, as to my understanding (need syntax validation) ```auto GET /my-index/_search { "query": { "bool": { "filter": [ { "term": { "filter-weekend": "6" }}, { "term": { "filter-weekend": "7" }} ] } } } ``` or should be 1 & 7? please validate... ---

I think you should use it in the search bar ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/f/2fc5da08215acac1af3ba69735f42e43d5b0aaef.png) ---

Thank you so much Aclerk, i was trying to create a new visualization with newly created scripted field(filter-weekend), With your continues help and in my existing dashboard itself with the created scripted field able to create a filter in search bar and now weekends has been excluded. Thanks a lot once again. ---
