The structure of my logs looks like this:

{deviceID:"xx", charger:"xy", date: "yy", battery: 5}

Is it possible to have a ES query that.

1. Takes last 24h
2. Excludes devices where any of the log in the last 24h had charger value = 2
3. Returns logs

I don't know how to do the second step where you exclude all the logs from a single device if any of the logs had a specific value.

Thanks

I would try ...

```auto
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "filter": {
              "range": {
                "date": {
                  "gte": "now-1d",
                  "lte": "now"
                }
              }
      },
      "must_not": [
        {
          "match": {
            "charger": "2"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

```

Alternatively, you can combine `filter` for `charge field` if it is non-analyzed and you dont want to score it, helps with caching too, along with `range` filter.
