After seeing a few answers, I still didnt get a full grip on this issue.

I want to mix the bool and range query.  
For an example I want to dinf all logs that terminationCauseis success in the last 5 minutes.

Something like this:  
{  
"query":{  
"query": {  
"bool":{  
"must" : [  
{"term" : {"terminationCause": "SUCCESS"}}  
]  
}  
}  
},  
{  
"query": {  
"range" : {  
"msgSubmissionTime" : {  
"gte" : "now-2m",  
"lt" : "now"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

How can I do this?

(Sorry about the identation from some reason it didnt work)

I believe you are looking for something like this. Add both conditions to the must array in the query:

```
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [{
          "term": {
            "terminationCause": "SUCCESS"
          }
        },
        {
          "range": {
            "msgSubmissionTime": {
              "gte": "now-2m",
              "lt": "now"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
