Hi all
we got a lot of logs that look like that:
"Health check took 00:00:00.0057867 and resulted with status: Healthy"
"Health check took 00:00:00.0035042 and resulted with status: Healthy"
Is there a way to tell kibana to filter _out_ all messages that contain the string "Health check took"?
(I dont want to see them)
I can't really control the logs themselves or the way they are index
thx!

It depends on how they are indexed. If there is a "message" field indexed as text for example, you should be able to simply do `message: "Health check took"` in the KQL bar.

Thx. I edited my question.
I need to filter them out, i.e. remove them from the results
