Hi Team,

I am aggregating a numeric field which contains the response time data. When i try to find the avg value it is giving me a very long number(\>10 digitis after the decimal point). Could you please help in rounding that value to have two decimal places.

I have tried script with Math.round() function but it is not working. Could you please help me with the query.

I have tried:  
"aggs": {  
"avg\_rtime": {  
"avg": {  
"script": "Math.round(doc['rt.time'].value\*100)/100.0"  
}  
}  
}

o/p:  
{  
"key" : "Data",  
"doc\_count" : 52090,  
"avg\_rtime" : {  
"value" : 193.25108466116336  
}

For most places you can specify a formatting for your field in the index pattern: [Manage index pattern data fields | Kibana Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-index-patterns.html#field-formatters-numeric)

Can you explain with what kind of visualization you are working? Where do you want to show the average value?

Hi Joe,

I am using this query to send an email alert using watcher in kibana. I am sending the average values in the email text. So i want to round them to show only two decimal places or one or to a nearest integer.

If there is any chance in rounding the values in the email text body also useful for me.
