yml files are sensitive about tabs and spaces.  
so could you format your code using ``` ? something like :

```auto
or:
  - equals:
      http.response.code: 304
  - equals:
      http.response.code: 404

```

thanks for your reply,  
if i don't want to receive all kibana or filebeat messages, how should i do that ?  
the filebeat and kibana just the tools, i think, i do not need their log.
