I want to make a table based on some conditions. For example I have three variables a, b, and c.

If I want to create a table which only includes records that have a\>1 or b\<10 or 4\<c\<5. What should I do? What is the grammar I could use in "Json Input" or anything else?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Vernal,

If I'm understanding you correctly, you might want to check out scripted fields:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html)

The exact syntax will depend on which language you use!

Regards,  
Aaron

Thanks Aaron! I want to create a plot for the variable satisfying the following condition: a\>1 or b \<10 or 4\<c\<5. I use "Painless" script to create three Scripted Fields for a, b and c. However, after I input the following script in the "script" box for the variable "C", I got compile error. Do you know what is wrong with it?

if(doc['c'].value\>4 or doc['c'].value\<5) return doc['c'].value
