I was trying to match some lines using EQL, but no match was found in-spite of having lines which matches the criteria in Elasticsearch. Kindly provide some leads about the same.

Thanks in advance

**EQL QUERY:**

GET /index/\_eql/search  
{  
"event\_category\_field": "logLevel",  
"timestamp\_field": "dateTime",  
"query": """  
sequence with maxspan = 11s  
[INFO where logLine : "_xyz not found_"]  
[INFO where logLine : "_Install abc success_"]  
""",  
"size": 100  
}

**Lines for which eql query is being executed:**

2021-01-07 10:39:10.115021 INFO xyz not found  
2021-01-07 10:39:10.118425 INFO Install abc success
