Hi The script shown in the "JSON Input" field below computes bandwidth utilization in percent of the interface's nominal bandwidth: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/1/912346f84a934fa7561b6c2c83cc11430ab1fd55.png) I'd like to display only those interfaces where the computed result of that script is \>80. How can this be done? Thanks for your help David PS: I am aware that my question is related to the unanswered question [Show only the average values that are more than 80%](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/show-only-the-average-values-that-are-more-than-80/214425). ---

Hi @dknecht, Thanks for taking the time to post here in the forum. If I understood your problem well and what you want to achieve, you may want to create this script as a separate scripted field. You can perform the same metric aggregation so you get the chart and then you can run a quick search on it from the search bar such as `newly_scripted_field > 80`. Here is some info on scripted fields: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html) Let me know if that would work. ---

Hi Elvis Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, I don't get it running. Based on the Kibana documentation (see below) I get the impression that it might not work at all: "Scripted field values are computed at query time so they aren’t indexed and cannot be searched using Kibana’s default query language." (see: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html)) Is there anything I am misunderstanding? This is how far I got trying to implement your suggestion (using Kibana 4.5.1): /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml: ... script.inline: true script.indexed: true Define the scripted field: ![kibana1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/0/d0c1566703524158e28d6236fef90f386fe5b75b.png) Test the scripted field: ![kibana_2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/0/706bb563836ba828ef5a78c79e17ea0544eed433.png) Thanks and kind regards David ---

Wow, that's a pretty old version of Kibana. I think it's 4.x? I'm not sure if this has changed since then, but on current versions of the stack I can query or filter on a number type scripted field. ---

As @LeeDr points out, I am using 7.5.0 with KQL and it works fine querying the scripted field as I did. Your old version of Kibana doesn't have this capability I believe. ---
