Is it possible to "Create scripted Field" called VAL in Indices with à range date condition:  
Example:  
If $timestamp\< 2016-01-05; then $VAL="3000"  
elseIf $timestamp\< 2016-02-05; then $VAL="5000"

thanks!

Out of the box, no. Kibana and Elasticsearch only expose the Lucene Query Syntax by default, which is really just a way to do math against your documents' field values.

However, if you're willing to opt in to security concerns of it, you could do this with [Groovy Scripts](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-scripting.html). The team is also working on a new query syntax in Elasticsearch that should enable this as well, but I don't know when that's targeted for release.
