How to convert number to string using painless script and visualize it in kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi All,

I have a long field ('Powerstate') in index with values ranging between 0-1. I need to do scripted field which converts these number to string values. 0=OFF, 1=ON.

I am trying with the below script,

if (doc['PowerState'].value == 0) { 
    return "OFF"
} else {
    return "ON"
}

Below is the scripted field added in the index,

I am trying to visualize the data with powerstate and device count as like below,

Since the powerstate value is either 0 or 1 and I want to show it as OFF or ON and I tried changing the original field to scripted field in the buckets and below is the exception showing,

Hey @r.ganeshbabu, thank you for the clear description of the problem that you're experiencing. What version of Kibana/Elasticsearch are you using? I'm trying trouble re-creating the issue that you're seeing.
