Hi,

I am leveraging Elasticsearch logs to retrieve the critical Metrics and showing in BI tool. I am currently facing a challenge in Elasticsearch query:

The json document that I am retrieving have multiple segments in a list. I am able to write a query to match specific segment and filter the right document. However, in the resultset I want to get only specific arrays from the list.

So from the "List\_Array", I want to get the segmentId in GE or IEA4 to show in the resukt. Is this possible?  
"List\_Array":  
[  
{  
"element\_raw\_1": "1213",  
"element\_raw\_0": "11",  
"segmentId": "SE",  
"segmentIndex": 12,  
"element\_1": "1213",  
"element\_0": "11"  
},  
{  
"element\_raw\_1": "1213",  
"element\_raw\_0": "1",  
"segmentId": "GE",  
"segmentIndex": 13,  
"element\_1": "1213",  
"element\_0": "1"  
},  
{  
"element\_raw\_1": "000001217",  
"element\_raw\_0": "1",  
"segmentId": "IEA",  
"segmentIndex": 14,  
"element\_1": "000001217",  
"element\_0": "1"  
}  
]

check out the [inner\_hits feature](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.3/search-request-body.html#nested-inner-hits) of the nested datatype.
