We want make Dashboards using some dashboard/visuvalization using the Regular expression values of some fields but results are not populating in Kibana. ``` Ex: pri_acc_name : /\b((?i)administrator(?-i))\b/ public_ip : /^10\./ ``` Kindly help me in creating dashboards/visualizations using regular expressions. ---

You don't want any spaces around the colon, so your first example should look like this: `pri_acc_name:/\b((?i)administrator(?-i))\b/` That might be all you need. I'd also check out Tim Roes excellent blog post on the [Kibana query syntax](https://www.timroes.de/2016/05/29/elasticsearch-kibana-queries-in-depth-tutorial/), in particular the section on [regexes](https://www.timroes.de/2016/05/29/elasticsearch-kibana-queries-in-depth-tutorial/#regular-expressions). ---
