Below is the query i have written in logstash config file

```auto
elasticsearch {
		  hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
		  index => "restricteddata"
		  query => "type:restricted AND acc_number:%{[acc_id]} AND corp_id:%{[corp_code]} || grp_number:%{[grp_id]}"
		  fields => { "restricted_status" => "restricted_ind" }
		  sort => "@timestamp:desc"
	   }

```

I'm getting this error while running the logstash config file

Failed to query elasticsearch for previous event {:index=\>"restricteddata", :error=\>"[400] {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"query\_shard\_exception","reason":"Failed to parse query [type:restricted AND acc\_number:%{[acc\_id]} AND corp\_id:IL1 || grp\_number:0000P7001]","index\_uuid":"YEKt-5gDTkeQdT852iaJJA","index":"restricteddata"}],"type":"search\_phase\_execution\_exception","reason":"all shards failed","phase":"query","grouped":true,"failed\_shards":[{"shard":0,"index":"restricteddata","node":"5Bn2UJ10TjGoTdoRA5TdhA","reason":{"type":"query\_shard\_exception","reason":"Failed to parse query [type:restricted AND acc\_number:%{[acc\_id]} AND corp\_id:IL1 || grp\_number:0000P7001]","index\_uuid":"YEKt-5gDTkeQdT852iaJJA","index":"restricteddata","caused\_by":{"type":"parse\_exception","reason":"Cannot parse 'type:restricted AND acc\_number:%{[acc\_id]} AND corp\_id:IL1 || grp\_number:0000P7001': Encountered \" \"]\" \"] \"\" at line 1, column 40.\r\nWas expecting:\r\n \"TO\" ...\r\n ","caused\_by":{"type":"parse\_exception","reason":"Encountered \" \"]\" \"] \"\" at line 1, column 40.\r\nWas expecting:\r\n \"TO\" ...\r\n "}}}}]},"status":400}"}

I moved your question to #logstash.

Here `%{[acc_id]}` does not seem to exist in your logstash event.  
So instead of being replaced by a value, the request sent to elasticsearch is:

```auto
type:restricted AND acc_number:%{[acc_id]} AND corp_id:IL1 || grp_number:0000P7001

```

Instead of something like:

```auto
type:restricted AND acc_number:12345678 AND corp_id:IL1 || grp_number:0000P7001

```
