hello,  
How to query easily ? Is any tool to help to implement the query ?

I've success to query on a range time but I would like to add a condition on a message pattern...

How to do that ? I've tried something like this :

> ```
> {
> "query": {
> "bool" : {
> "filter": {
> "term" : {
> "message" : "*my string*"
> }
> },
> "must" : {
> "range" : {
> "@timestamp" : {
> "gte" : "now-10m",
> "lt" : "now"
> }
> }
> }
> }
> 
> ```
> 
> }  
> }

First, prefix wildcards are a performance killer. I would refrain from using it. In the above example there is no wildcard needed.. you could just search for `my AND string` using a `match` query. Keep in mind that this works differently than SQL.

Also, you probably want to move the `range` part in the `filter` part of a boolean query and move the `match` query into the `must` part in order to apply scoring.
