Painless script for converting Long to Hexadecimal

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Have Kibana display a numeric field value in hexadecimal is locked, and the example is an image (and broken) which is not useful for cut-and-paste. If it wasn't locked I'd just reply there.

I needed to change the dns.id of packetbeats to hex so that I could easily visualize my wireshark pcap files.

Here is the painless script I used for that.

if (doc['dns.id'].size()==0) {
  return "";
}

long dnsId = doc['dns.id'].value;

String asHex = Long.toHexString(dnsId);

return "0x" + asHex
