Hi

i have a set of 19 events in my cluster and i want to get events which matches the wildcard "\*wtryy1p/backup" but it does not work out. Only if i give "\*wtryy1p" it filters or if i give "backup\_", it works but not all matching events are fetched. So how can i filter events with forward slash. The filed i am using for this search looks like

> "Name" : {  
> "type" : "text",  
> "fields" : {  
> "keyword" : {  
> "type" : "keyword",  
> "ignore\_above" : 256  
> }  
> }  
> }  
> One example of what i am looking for is : "NOTIFICATION-FileSystem\_FS-ldwtryy001p//wtryy1p/backup\_LowAvailableSpace"
