Hi all,

In a Tile Map visualization, I want to exclude a specific ip from the graph.  
I try to create a JSON Input filter:

{  
"size": 0,  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"query\_string": {  
"query": "",  
"analyze\_wildcard": true  
}  
},  
"filter": {  
"bool": {  
"must\_not": [  
{  
"term": {  
"geoip.ip": "x.x.x.x"  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

But I have an error:  
Request to Elasticsearch failed: {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"search\_parse\_exception","reason":"Unexpected token VALUE\_BOOLEAN in [2].","line":1,"col":364}],"type":"search\_phase\_execution\_exception","reason":"all shards failed","phase":"query","grouped":true,"failed\_shards":[{"shard":0,"index":"logstash-201601011200","node":"GCR-klVjTISVdBELonhgUQ","reason":{"type":"search\_parse\_exception","reason":"Unexpected token VALUE\_BOOLEAN in [2].","line":1,"col":364}}]}}

I don't know how to solve this problem.

Many thanks for your help.

A boolean query requires either true or false, so that is not valid.

What version of things are you on?
