Can you try wrapping the query in triple quotes, [similar to this example](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-put-multiple-lines-in-kibana-sql-search/241708).

```auto
GET _search 
{
  "query": {
    "query_string": {
      "query": """message:\"com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException\" 
                       AND level: DEBUG
                       AND threadname: xyz                       
                       AND @timestamp:(>=now-1h AND <now)"""
    }
  },
  "aggs": {
    "application": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "kubernetes.labels.app.keyword"
        }
      }
    }
  }

```
