Hi Elastic Team/Members, I have almost 60 Logstash consumers (with unique consumers ID) in my PROD environment which are consuming from Kafka and sending to cloud, Big data lake and Splunk. I have created a Kibana dashboard in which I wanted to see only consumers ID which are sending it only to Splunk (in numbers for quick reference and leadership updates) , not to cloud or Big data lake. Currently it showing all consumers ID with details. I would like to see only consumer id which are sending to Splunk. I will list out some Consumer ID connect-kaka-connect-splunk-log source A connect-kaka-connect-splunk-log source B connect-kaka-connect-splunk-log source C connect-kaka-connect-splunk-log source D connect-kaka-connect-splunk-log source E connect-kaka-connect-splunk-log source F connect-kaka-connect-splunk-log source G connect-kaka-connect-splunk-log source H connect-kaka-connect-splunk-log source J spark-352635-bdef- A spark-352635-bdef- B spark-352635-bdef- C spark-352635-bdef- D spark-352635-bdef- E spark-352635-bdef- G slt-archive-consumer group 1 slt-archive-consumer group 2 slt-archive-consumer group 3 slt-archive-consumer group 4 slt-archive-consumer group 5 slt-archive-consumer group 6 slt-archive-consumer group 7 slt-archive-consumer group 8 slt-archive-consumer group 9 Now I want to see only consumer ID that are starting with "connect-kaka-connect-splunk-log source" and would like to exclude "spark-352635-bdef' and "slt-archive-consumer group ". Kindly help me how can I filter or exclude etc. thanks Regards, Vivek ---

Welcome to our community! 😃 Generally you would setup Spaces to handle this for you -[Spaces | Kibana Guide [8.5] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.5/xpack-spaces.html) ---

Hi Mark, Here I am not looking for space creation. I do have space for my prod environment and have almost 12 different dashboards for monitoring etc. As I mentioned earlier I am looking to exclude some consumers. Currently all of them are populating and I wanted to see only splunk consumer ids. So here I would like to know how to exclude rest of them so I see numbers only for splunk. Will the filter or query be like - NOT consumer.groupid : splunk or something else Kindly help ---

Take a look at [Kibana Query Language | Kibana Guide [8.5] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kuery-query.html). `consumer.groupid: slt-archive-*` will only show things that match that. or [Kibana Query Language | Kibana Guide [8.5] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kuery-query.html#_negating_a_query) - `NOT consumer.groupid: slt-archive-*` ---
