Is there a way to indicate the current timestamp or current date in an ES query? I would like to filter some visualizations I have running by a range of the previous 24 hours.

Yes, range queries and filters support "date math[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1708](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1708) ".

That said I would not use 'now' as a parameter but the end of the current day or tomorrow. You will have a better cache usage. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 19 avr. 2013 à 01:10, Igor Motov [imotov@gmail.com](mailto:imotov@gmail.com) a écrit : Yes, range queries and filters support "date math".
