Hi Kibana Experts,

I got a very simple requirement I need to achieve following  
\> if(doc["logSourceGroup"].value =="Palo Alto Firewall Group" OR doc["logSourceGroup"].value =="ASA Firewall"){return "Firewall";}  
\> else if (doc["logSourceGroup"].value =="Windows Server" OR doc["logSourceGroup"].value =="Linux Server"; ){return "OS";}

with above in Kibana I am getting an error that says Cannot support OR . Can someone provide some guidance what is the correct syntax to use multiple values with OR in ifelse statement .

Regards  
VG

I tried following as per documents  
`if (doc["logSourceGroup"].value =="Windows Server" || doc["logSourceGroup"].value == "Linux Server";){return "OS";}`

With above Kibana throws an error

Instead of -\> " (double quote ) use --\> ' (single quote) . It should help you.

Thankyou Singh,

I tried removing double quote with single but no luck .  
Actually problem was with extra ; I removed it and now it is working . So here is the actual syntax .

```
if (doc["logSourceGroup"].value == 'Windows Server' || doc["logSourceGroup"].value == 'Linux Server' || doc["logSourceGroup"].value == 'PCI-Devices'){return "OS";} else if(doc["logSourceGroup"].value == 'Palo Alto Firewall Group' || doc["logSourceGroup"].value == 'ASA Firewall'){return "Firewall";}

```

Hope it will help someone .

Cheers  
VG
