hey I am tried to run this command in a scripted filed

```auto
if (doc['tunnels_map.rx_stats.counters.packets_lost'].size() != 0 && doc['tunnels_map.rx_stats.counters.packets'].size() != 0)
 {doc['tunnels_map.rx_stats.counters.packets_lost'].value / doc['tunnels_map.rx_stats.counters.packets'].value }

```

when I got the result I got an integer result and I am looking for a float result...  
I am tried to split the fileds to a float variable and it doesn't work also..  
I am looking forward to your response 🙂

`doc['tunnels_map.rx_stats.counters.packets_lost'].value` and ` doc['tunnels_map.rx_stats.counters.packets'].value` are most likely integers - to calculate a ratio you need to cast them to floats:

```auto
(float)doc['tunnels_map.rx_stats.counters.packets_lost'].value / (float)doc['tunnels_map.rx_stats.counters.packets'].value

```
