Hi All,

When I use the Kibana to display some number (like Total Memory) in GB, the number is total incorrect. So after compare, we found the number is overflow. Do you have any suggestion to display? We don't hope to use the Byte in display.

Display:

I wonder if your scripted field is being processed as 0 on documents that don't have that field for your aggregation. If you add a search to your visualization that looks like `{"exists": {"field": "system.memory.total"}}` do your results match closer to your expectations?

as you could tell from the below screenshot. the field does exist. so usually speaking, how to display the byte data? Not change to GB or MB?
