Hi,  
I'm trying to configure more than 1 scrum in Kibana UI, by using include/exclude pattern for x-axis  
I saw in forums that it consist regex. I've tried to use .+?(one or more expression) , but with no success  
Any idea how to do that?  
Tnx,

Not sure I understand what your attempting to do. What is a scrum? Can you give me an idea of the data you have and the visualization your are looking to get?

In terms of include/exclude you might be referring to the Lucene query syntax, more info [here](http://www.lucenetutorial.com/lucene-query-syntax.html).

Hi,  
scrum == project.  
I'm trying to filter my bar chart. e.g, display only 2 out of 8 projects measuring in my graph  
I looked over the linked you sent(and the inner link for the official Lucene doc of query) and I'm not sure it's what I need  
I'm trying to find a proper regex for my needs  
I want to use the UI features - include and exclude pattern - to set it
