Hello guys, I want to write a scripted filed to get nested filed value.  
I want to get the pressure value for each doc(record). Is it possible to do in Kibana?  
My index is like this.

Thanks in advance!!

I could do it with the following scripted field.

```auto
for(item in params._source.datas)
{
    if(item.name=='pressure'){
      return item.value;
   }
}
return 0;

```
