Hi Team

I am creating a query using elastic search input plugin. when I ran it on developer tool on kibana before running on LS I am getting the following error:

```
    POST /sbl_nmon2019.12.02/_search?size=0
{"query":
{"range":{"@timestamp":{"gte": "now-30m"}},
"agg":{"max_cpu" : {"field":"cpu_consumed"}},
"match":{"Server" : "siebeldbnode01"} }
}

```

error :  
{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "parsing\_exception",  
"reason": "[range] malformed query, expected [END\_OBJECT] but found [FIELD\_NAME]",  
"line": 3,  
"col": 1  
}  
],  
"type": "parsing\_exception",  
"reason": "[range] malformed query, expected [END\_OBJECT] but found [FIELD\_NAME]",  
"line": 3,  
"col": 1  
},  
"status": 400  
}

Please support what I am doing incorrectly.
