In es we can do this  
GET \_search  
{  
"\_source":["message"],  
"query": {  
"range" : {  
"my.time": {  
"gte" : "20190113-09:15:57",  
"lte" : "20190114-10:15:57"  
}  
}  
}  
}

Is it possible in Logs UI?

It looks like you should be able to do that with a Kuery range expression that looks something like `range(bytes, gt=1000, lt=8000)`

Update: Strike that... looks like that's an old expression. How about `@timestamp <= 20190114-10:15:57 and @timestamp >= 20190113-09:15:57`. If that doesn't work you might have to convert the timestamps to Unix timestamps.

@timestamp\>=2019-01-17 is OK.but @timestamp \>= 2019-01-17 10:15:03.842 is bad.  
I don't know how to type time in Logs UI (and if the @timestamp is a string \>= is also bad.)

Using strings formatted in [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) for timestamps should work, e.g. `@timestamp >= "2019-01-17T10:15:03.842Z"` for a date in UTC.
