I am trying to filter Kibana for a field that contains the string "pH". The field is called extra.monitor_value_name. Examples of potential values are Temperature_ABC01, DO_ABC01, or pH_ABC01.
Kibana's Elasticsearch Query DSL does not seem to have a "contains string" so I need to custom make a query.
I am new to Query DSL, can you help me create the query?
Also, is it proper to call it Query DSL? I'm not even sure of proper wording.
Okay! Circling back with an answer to my own question.
My initial problem stemmed from not knowing about field_name vs field_name.keyword. Read here for info on keyword here: What's the difference between the 'field' and 'field.keyword' fields in Kibana?
Solution 1
Here's the query I ended up using. I used a regexp query. I found this article useful in figuring out syntax for the regexp:
{
"query": {
"regexp": {
"extra.monitor_value_name.keyword": "pH.*"
}
}
}
Solution 2
Another way I could have filtered, without Query DSL was typing in a search field: extra.monitor_value_name.keyword:pH*.
One interesting thing to note was the .keyword doesn't seem to be necessary with this method. I am not sure why.
"pH.*"?
{ "query": { "bool":{ "must_not": [{ "regexp": { "extra.monitor_value_name.keyword": "pH.*" }}]}}}. Make sure you get the square brackets where shown.try this in filter using Elasticsearch Query DSL:
{
"query": {
"wildcard": {
"extra.monitor_value_name": {
"value": "pH.*"
}
}
}
}
