I need to export the whole content in "message" field in a log message to grep some data.

Is there a way to do that?

Kibana version: 5.5.1 (No X-Pack).

```
  "_source": {
    "message": "op=THIS, status=OK, zip=X, state=X, city=X, Id=X, timeStamp=2019-11-29T05:58:44.751+0000",
    "@version": "1",
    "@timestamp": "2019-11-29T05:58:44.751Z",
    "host": "XX",
    "type": "XX",
    "tags": [
      "X",
      "Y",
      "Z"
    ]

```

I have 500 messages for a time period. I need `message field` exported from all those messages.

You can not export data without x-pack. Starting in 6.3 release, x-pack is contained in the default elastic distribution and exporting data is provided in the free tier with no paid license required.

To export `message`, open Discover application. [Add "message" field to the table from the Fields list](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.5/document-data.html#adding-columns). Save the search configuration. Finally, use `share` menu to export a CSV of the table.
