Not quite sure what the limits are in query dsl for kibana -- i'm trying to do a simple geo filter like:

{  
"query": {  
"filtered": {  
"query": {  
"match\_all": {}  
},  
"filter": {  
"geo\_distance" : {  
"distance" : "5km", "location" : {  
"lat" : 34.146436,  
"lon" : -118.153136  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

with no luck. thanks.

It is a know issue that geo\_distance filter does not currently work in Kibana ☹
