I am new to Kibana and ES. I am using Kibana 4.6 . I have read the Kibana 4.6 documentation and it says Discover page in Kibana supports full JSON DSL queries ([Discover | Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/discover.html)). But when I enter json query with aggregation it shows "Parse queries failed error". Can someone help me out? I am trying to visualize my search query but this error is blocking me. I am trying to run the following query. It runs fine in Sense. > { > "query": { > "regexp": { > "body.message": "._ended._" > } > }, > "aggs": { > "group\_device": { > "terms": { > "field": "serialNumber" > }, > "aggs": { > "group\_state": { > "terms": { > "script": { > "lang": "groovy", > "file": "extract\_state" > } > }, > "aggs": { > "group\_time": { > "avg": { > "script": { > "lang": "groovy", > "file": "extract\_time" > } > } > } > } > } > } > } > }, "size" : 0 > } ---

Can you capture a screenshot of the error and also check the Elasticsearch log to see what is the parse exception that is thrown? ---

It looks like you've only got part of your query in the Kibana query bar? This exception usually indicates you've got a malformed query but I can't see anything wrong with the full query you've shown and it appears to parse correctly in a JSON linter. ---

Thank you for the response. I have given entire query in the query bar, but only part is captured in screenshot. I am not sure what's wrong, it runs fine in sense. It would be really helpful, if you can give a sample aggregation query that runs in Kibana query bar, ---
