Hi all, we have many documents where a FIELD has a value entry of "Strings and Numbers" OR "_Empty String_". In the kibana discovery, how can I see entries, where FIELD got a value and don't show the "_Empty String_" documents? Thanks in Advance ---

I think you can do this with a query, assuming the value is really just an empty string. Putting `-FIELD:""` in the query bar should do it, where "FIELD" is the name of the field you want to match on. If you are using KQL, `not FIELD: ""` is what you'd want to use instead. ---
