Hi,

I am curious about is it possible to query 2 fields at the same time? If it is possible, how?

the first field i want to match is "response: 500"  
the second field is a timestamp range

I tried something like

"input" : {  
"http" : {  
"request" : {  
"host" : "localhost",  
"port" : 9200,  
"path" : "'/filebeat-2016.10.20/\_search?pretty'",  
"body" : "{  
"query" : {  
"and" : [  
{  
"range": {  
"@timestamp" : {  
"from": "2016-10-20T23:58:00.000Z",  
"to": "2016-10-20T23:59:00.000Z"  
}  
}  
},  
{  
"match" : { "response" : "500"}  
}  
]  
}  
}"  
}  
}  
},

but failed

thanks for any help

I f you dont want to escape all that JSON, but write it as regular JSON, you can use the [search input](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/watcher/2.4/input.html#input-search) instead of the HTTP one - might be less error prone.
