Hi ,

I am trying to pull the data from elastisearch through python script. I am using wildcard to select the index, but seems somehow it's not working properly.

Here is my script:

es = Elasticsearch([{'host': 'nofcnl004', 'port': 9200}])  
res = es.search(index='event\*', doc\_type='lsbevent',body={"query": {"match": {"jobid": jobid}}})  
for doc in res['hits']['hits']:  
print("%s %s %s" %(doc['\_source']['jobid'],doc['\_source']['event\_time'],doc['\_source']['status']))

I see the o/p is -

2943736 Thu Mar 15 13:57:31 a  
2943736 Thu Mar 15 13:57:31 b  
2943736 Thu Mar 15 12:43:03 c  
2943736 Thu Mar 15 13:57:31 d  
2943736 Thu Mar 15 13:56:11 e  
2943736 Thu Mar 15 13:56:11 f  
2943736 Thu Mar 15 13:56:11 g  
2943736 Thu Mar 15 13:57:31 h  
2943736 Fri Mar 16 13:23:13 i  
2943736 Fri Mar 16 13:23:32 j

but if I use the index event-2018.03.30 it shows the output

2943736 Fri Mar 30 04:35:56 a  
2943736 Fri Mar 30 04:36:33 b  
2943736 Fri Mar 30 04:36:31 c  
2943736 Fri Mar 30 04:36:31 d  
2943736 Fri Mar 30 04:36:32 e  
2943736 Fri Mar 30 04:39:19 f  
2943736 Fri Mar 30 04:39:20 g

My question is why it's not showing the Mar 30 data when I use wildcard on index (event\*). Is these any restriction to display particular number of documents by deaults in python if yes how to remove this on python script

Please let me know how to query last 24 hours data from the above script.

\Thanks
