In one log request we have multiple attributes, in that one of the attribute value is empty. How I can get the result for the particular attribute which has empty value using **DQL query**.  
I tried the query like "\n "productPrice" : "",\n" and "productPrice" : """  
but getting results for all the values.

Log is like this - "productPrice" : ""

Note: we don't have any field for this attribute

I assume DQL is Opensearch Dashboards Query Language. There is no DQL query in Elasticsearch or Kibana. There is **KQL** which stands for Kibana Query Language.

Anyway, if `the field is not exist or has no value` you can search like the following.

```auto
 NOT productPrice : *

```

If you only want to filter or filter-out the empty/null value, you can check `null-value` documentation.
