Hi @Maruthappan_Muthu

What version are you on?

There are a number of ways to do this but if you just want to see this in Kibana Visualizations and dashboards the easiest way is to add a runtime field to the the Index Pattern / Data View  
(you could add it to the actual mapping at some point if you want) Read on [runtime fields](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/runtime.html)

Go To Stack Management -\> Index / Pattern or Data View depending on the version

Add Field

Here is the sample code...replace with your field names etc...

```auto
def status = doc['snmp_status'].value;
if (status != null ) {
    if (status == 1 ) {
        emit ("open");
        return;
    }
    else {
        emit ("closed");
        return;
    }
}
emit("Unknown");

```

Discover ... and it will work in other Visulazations like Lens etc.
