I am trying to get a kibana filter to match a hostname using regex

Hostnames i am trying match eg.

[dpsp8091.domain.com](http://dpsp8091.domain.com)  
[dpsp8092.domain.com](http://dpsp8092.domain.com)

These examples are a few i have tried and failed with:  
Host: dpsp[8091 to 8092].domain.com  
Host: "dpsp[8091 to 8092].domain.com"  
Host: /dpsp\<8091-8092\>\*/  
Host: /dpsp[8091-8092].domain.com/

Any recommendations?

The syntax should be `Host:/dpsp(8091|8092)]\.domain\.com/` (if your field is actually called "Host"). Make sure to set your query bar to lucene instead of KQL.
