I am new to Elastic .  
I have setup like Filebeat-\>ES\<-Kibana  
Data is unformatted with single lines and multiple lines of logs and inserted into ES from Filebeat.  
Based on multi line expression new line is inserted into ES successfully.  
I need feature like some bookmark with predefined Api names from my logs...for eg api1 api2 .  
Once I select _api1_ and give the search term in lucene kibana should show all the resutls for the API1.  
Basically I am too lazy to search with "\<\< search word\>\>" AND "\<\< apiname \>\>"  
in lucene.

Any pointers or tutorial will be really appreciated.

I explored kibana a bit , I think custom label is what i am looking for. But when I save it is not visible like other filters for eg msg,hostname etc.  
I am using elastic 7.6

Hello @Darshan_Kamat

There's a couple of different ways of doing this. You could use a saved search [Save a search | Kibana Guide [7.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/save-open-search.html) . You could try entering the search and simply bookmarking it. You could also create a set of filters than you enable and disable.

Thanks,  
Matt
