When I try to use the following query for Filter in Visualize, I am getting the following error.

`Request to Elasticsearch failed: {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"query_shard_exception","reason":"Failed to parse query [{ \"bool\": { \t\"must\" :`

Here is my query for Filters aggregation  
{  
"bool": {  
"must" : {  
"match\_all":{}  
}  
"filter" : {  
"must\_not" : {  
"exists" : {  
"field" : "object1.name"  
}  
},  
"must" : {  
"exist" : {  
"field" : "object2.name"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Following works for me when I directly submit to /search. How is the query different from one in Kibana

{  
"query" : {  
"bool": {  
"must\_not" : {  
"exists" : {  
"field" : "object1.name"  
}  
},  
"must" : {  
"exists" : {  
"field" : "object2.name"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

This worked

{  
"bool": {  
"must\_not" : {  
"exists" : {  
"field" : "responderWithLevel.loginName"  
}  
},  
"must" : {  
"exists" : {  
"field" : "responder.loginName"  
}  
}  
}  
}
