Hello! I would like to use a query filtering these parameters in logstash's elasticsearch input\>

host.raw = host 1 OR host 2  
&  
code != "123"

How could I do the query? I have been trying several things for a while without success  
ES version is 1.7.1

input{  
elasticsearch {  
host=\>  
query =\> '{ "query": .... }'

The queries need to be in this style - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/query-dsl.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/query-dsl.html)
