I'm working with metricbeat and system.cpu.\*.pct - I would like to either

1. graph all of them in a single area chart, or
2. consider a scripted field to sum the non-idle ones and graph that figure.

I don't know how to do 1. and I've been unable to make scripted fields work. I've tried this:

- click Add Scripted Field, enter mycustomfield in Name

- Enter this in Script (just two values to test):  
.

- Go hunting in Discover and Visualize for my field, in vain

Can anyone help me? Thanks,  
Greg.
