I’m using ELK – 7.12.1 and the following days are our local holidays.

```
01-Jan-2021
14-Jan-2021
26-Jan-2021
11-Mar-2021
02-Apr-2021
13-Apr-2021

```

In Kibana dashboard is it possible to exclude these holidays(specific dates) by applying some filters? If yes please let me know the method, it would be helpful. Thanks.

you can start composing a huge filter in the filter bar, something like this:  
(@timestamp \< "2021-01-01T00:00:00" OR @timestamp \> "2021-01-01T23:59:59") AND (@timestamp \< "2021-01-14T00:00:00" OR @timestamp \> "2021-01-14T23:59:59") .... and so on.

Or, the prettier version: create a scripted field (something called holiday maybe) that checks if the timestamp is in any of those days and returns true if it is. And then just filter on the dashboard/visualization for holiday = False and that should be it.

There isn't one already created, but you can follow on from this:

```auto
def month = doc['@timestamp'].value.getMonthValue();
def day = doc['timestamp'].value.getDayOfMonth();
if (month == 1){
    if ((day == 1) || (day == 14) || (day == 16)) {
        return true
    }
    else {
        return false
    }
}

```

you can extend it with further days following this example.
