According to [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/conditionals-in-canvas/168796/2)  
The syntax is

```auto
  fn=${getCell status | switch 
    {case if={compare eq to="up"} then=Healthy}
    {case if={compare eq to="down"} then=Unhealthy}
    default="Unknown"

```

Try changing your syntax accordingly.  
Thanks
