I am using Logstash Elasticsearch filter to query matching data from `another index`. I am using below query

indexA : logstash-name  
fields: user

indexB: logstash-user  
fields: first\_name  
fields: type

```
  elasticsearch{
 		hosts => ["XX.XXX.XXX:9200"]
 		index => "logstash-user"
 		query => "type:user AND first_name.keyword:%{[user]}"
 		fields => { "first_name" => "first_name" }
    }

```

My query is not working as expected. It displaying data which is not matched at all shown in the below diagram. I am seeking inputs regarding the query I am using to fetch the data

**user**** first\_name**
