How to retrieve the documents(records) of a saved search in elastic search

Hi All,

I started exploring the ELK stack and was very happy to learn and implement the ELK features for my requirements. Currently I need a help in retrieving the documents (records) of a saved search.
I am pushing my jenkins pipeline jobs console logs to elasticsearch using jenkins-logstash plugin and it's pumping the data without any problem. I am filtering my jenkins console data using a field called "ISSUE_ID".I created a saved search with the output fields being
"time" "ISSUE_ID" "message" "BUILD_ID" "JOB_NAME". In kibana, I can see that my saved search is returning around 13 records for last 24 hrs. I used the content available in "Request" tab to retrieve the same no of documents(records) inside my ubuntu host using the below curl command. But it's dumping a huge amount of data.

How to retrieve the records with just the fields mentioned in saved search.

example output data what I am expecting is

The curl command is:
curl -X GET http://localhost:9200/logstash-*/_search -d request.json

The content of the request.json (the Request kibana sent to Elasticsearch from the saved search) is:

{
"highlight": {
"pre_tags": [
"@kibana-highlighted-field@"
],
"post_tags": [
"@/kibana-highlighted-field@"
],

Please edit your post.

I moved your question to #kibana as I think you want to export from the UI not from the CLI.

Note that there is a CSV export available in xpack (commercial plugin).
