in my elasticsearch index it has pagedata filed under message field which contains following data

message.PageData:  
{"survey\_details":{"survey\_status":0,"survey\_ref\_id":1,"skip\_status":0,"question\_count":21,"survey\_open\_date":"10-08-2018","survey\_close\_date":"16-11-

pagedata can be string or hash thats why i havent applied filter over page data

i there any way to search survey\_status":0, & "survey\_ref\_id":1, located in json string field

Depending on how it's stored in Elasticsearch it would be pretty hard to figure out a filter for that data. Best option would have been to use nested fields and ingest the whole json separately, having fields like`message.pagedata.surveydetails.survey_status` and so on.
