Hello everyone,

With executing searches, I know that if I want to query a pamareter lower than a certain value i have to execute the following script:  
{"query": {  
"bool": {  
"must": [  
{  
"range": {  
"length": {  
"lte": "22"  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}

However, i want to do the same thing through the elastic plugin in logstash.  
elasticsearch{  
query =\>= "...."  
}

But I didn't find how to do that. (and the website doesn't give any help [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-elasticsearch.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-elasticsearch.html))

Thank you for your attention and your help.

Using the query string query syntax ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-syntax](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-syntax)), I can do it like this

elasticsearch{  
query =\>= "length:{\* TO 22]"  
}
