using kibana version 5.4  
Can we use the How to use the fieldFormatMap in the mapping JSON for a index?  
Sample Mapping json.

{  
"meshping": {  
"\_meta": {  
"class": "com.pluribus.maestro.data.MeshPingEntity",  
"version": {  
"major": "1.00",  
"minor": "1"  
}  
},  
"\_all": {  
"enabled": true  
},  
"properties": {  
"packetLoss": {  
"type": "float"  
}  
}  
}  
}

I have to add color on packetLoss field so I have to add the fieldFormatMap  
Sample fieldFormatMap  
{  
"fieldFormatMap": {  
"packetLoss": {  
"id": "color",  
"params": {  
"fieldType": "number",  
"colors": [  
{  
"range": "60:100",  
"regex": "",  
"text": "#e51c4c",  
"background": "#ffffff"  
},  
{  
"range": "0:9",  
"regex": "",  
"text": "#1cdb4a",  
"background": "#ffffff"  
},  
{  
"range": "10:59",  
"regex": "",  
"text": "#e07b2d",  
"background": "#ffffff"  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}  
}  
how should I add this fieldFormatMap in this mapping document please help me out stuck on this for more than 2 weeks now.

Welcome to our community! 😃

5.X is no longer supported as it is very old and [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol). Please upgrade.
