Hi ,  
I'm trying to create an alias filtered based on existing field but it seems not working

Does anyone have any idea about this issue?

POST /\_aliases  
{  
"actions" : [  
{  
"add" : {  
"index" : "myIndex",  
"alias" : "alias\_test",  
"filter" : {  
"terms" : { "log.file.path" :["/progiciel/test/jboss/standalone/log/\*"]}  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}

Thanks

Hi @Amani188

Could you give more details about the problem you are facing? Is there an error or do you have no results? If you can provide some example for simularia that would be great.
