Hi,

but i know id "c540a785-6e0f-4e3f-aad9-8c92ef9d2511" which exist in text and there are 50 lack logs in kibana. So please help me how to search **data.msg** only having "c540a785-6e0f-4e3f-aad9-8c92ef9d2511" id.

I think you want to parse the `data.msg` field into separate fields at ingest. How are you ingesting your logs into Elasticsearch?
With Logstash, you could use the [Grok filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-grok.html) to parse your string into different keywords. So your resulting document in Elasticsearch might look like
```json
{
"settlementid": "c540a785-6e0f-4e3f-aad9-8c92ef9d2511",
"locationid": "6d86595c-7c44-4f8f-9b65-6826a27dc2fd",
"accountId": "5055822b-c8f4-42fd-ba8c-c40be6dedce1",
"amount": 0.00,
"settlementdate": "2019/04/01 11:03:45"
}
```
Then you can easily create a filter in Kibana on the `settlementid` field.
