hey @rugenl you can try to define a processor combined with range query processor you might be interested in: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/drop-event.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/7.0/drop-event.html) you will then specify a condition as a range condition and specify timespan lower than a value example ```auto range: your.field: lte: "now-1d/d" ``` Check this for how date math is used: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/common-options.html#date-math](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/common-options.html#date-math) ---
