Hi,

I made a filter that transactionId.keyword is not "SUCCESS" (also I did that transactionId.keyword is not SUCCESS), but I still see in my table logs that the that the transactionId.keyword is "SUCCESS".

Maybe some clue will be that this filter is painted red

Hi Tomer,

you don't need to specify any enclosing quotes in this dialog.  
It should work as soon as you remove the surrounding quotes around "SUCCESS".

Hope that will solve the issue.

Cheers,  
Tim
