Team!

I need to merge two fields into one in a Kibana visualization.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Have a good one 🙂

By merge do you mean concatenate ?

Depending on your version and how you are looking to merge the fields you can use scripted fields, runtime fields, or lens formulas to achieve this.

I am using ELK 7.12.1.

I need to sum up 2 different values which otherwise would get displayed separately.

In doing so i need to let other values be displayed in the pie.

Because if i use the [or] in filter other values get cut off the chart.

Thanks
