You can add multiple values in the query field for example you can do:  
`q='message:com.clarify.api.exception.DataNotFoundException AND source:value_to_filter_on'`  
You can see more examples here on "Grouping": [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-syntax](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-syntax)
