The default scripting language in Kibana is [Lucene Expressions](http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_9_0/expressions/index.html?org/apache/lucene/expressions/js/package-summary.html), not Groovy, for security reasons. If you do decide to use Groovy, we recommend using static scripts... more on getting that working in this thread: [Calling groovy script from Kibana](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/calling-groovy-script-from-kibana/2542)
