Hi Experts,

I was trying to create a report using DISCOVER menu.  
The index got 8 million records and one of the fields is DeviceID

If I choose the 'exists' as filter and field DeviceID; I get all the 8 million records.  
I want to limit this based on ranges, such as  
DeviceID \>10K and DeviceID \<500K

How's it possible? I wanted to export that in to a csv then.

When I try to export without such a range, it seems like it's taking so much time (running for over 20 hours now). I'm unsure why (just a integer field 8 million records) taking over 20 hours plus for the csv export.

Please help.

</div>

The current filter is

{  
"exists": {  
"field": "DeviceID"  
}  
}

I want to add add something like the below to this filter or a new filter in this DISCOVER option

{  
"exists":{  
"field": "DeviceID"  
"gte" : 10000,  
"lte" : 500000}  
}

Any ideas?  
Is range possible such as \> and \< on an inteer field?  
I'm a newbie to ES / Kibana.

1. You'll need to create a saved search with the filters. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/save-open-search.html#save-open-search](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/save-open-search.html#save-open-search)
  - Filters can be part of a saved search. See the docs on filters to translate your requirements to the Kibana features available:
    - Kibana Query language: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kuery-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kuery-query.html)
    - Lucene query Syntax: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/lucene-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/lucene-query.html) (Especially that this option also allows Elasticsearch Query DSL)

2. With [Kibana Reporting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/reporting-getting-started.html), you can export the results of a saved search from Discover as CSV. With a Basic license, the Share menu in Discover will have an Export \> CSV option.
