I am trying to retrive total count of todays requests.  
To do this, the beginning of time span sould 'today 00:00:00' and the end of time span sould 'now'.  
How can I specify these 2 values in lucene syntanx query box of discovery page ?  
I've tried several times like '@timestamp:[NOW/DAY TO NOW]'.. and so on. It didn't work.

Please Help !!

It should be probably something like: `@timestamp:[now/d TO now]` I believe.

But note that it's definitely better to use something like `@timestamp:[now/d TO now+1d/d]` as `now` won't really move so the cache usage will be better.
