Hi  
How can I solve this error?

I think my condition is incorrect:  
"source": "if(ctx.payload.\_source.elasticsearch.cluster.stats.status == [yellow] || ctx.payload.\_source.elasticsearch.cluster.stats.nodes.count \<= 4) {return true}",

Hi @Farid_N,

Should `yellow` be provided as a string? Can you try your script as either

```auto
"source": "if(ctx.payload._source.elasticsearch.cluster.stats.status == 'yellow' || ctx.payload._source.elasticsearch.cluster.stats.nodes.count <= 4) {return true}",

```

or

```auto
"source": "if(ctx.payload._source.elasticsearch.cluster.stats.status == ['yellow'] || ctx.payload._source.elasticsearch.cluster.stats.nodes.count <= 4) {return true}",

```

?
