</div>

this is how i do it:

```
var DateFormatElastic = 'yyyy-MM-dd';
var QueryFrom = $('#txtStartDate').val();
var QueryTo = $('#txtEndDate').val();

"query": { "bool": {
    "must" : [
        { "match" : { "verb" : "expunge"} },
        { "range" : { "@timestamp" : { "from": QueryFrom, "to": QueryTo, "format": DateFormatElastic, "time_zone": "America/Sao_Paulo" } } },
    ],
}}
```
