Hello,

I am unable to get what should be a simple filter in place to work. I have been researching the wildcard element in elasticsearch and grasp the concept when running a query. What I am unable to get working is a basic filter to exclude certain dns queries in our logs. See the basic logic below:

NOT query \*.google.com

Keep in mind, query in this sense is a field name as part of a dns request.

Can someone please help?

Hi there, please take a look at [this thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibanas-filter-partial-matching/98494/8) in which another user asked a similar question. The solution is to use the "Edit Query DSL" option to handcraft a [wildcard query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-wildcard-query.html).

Hope this helps,  
CJ

Thank you for the reply, however this is not working. Please see query and screenshot:

{  
"query": {  
"match": {  
"query.keyword": {  
"query": "\*[98a911aa.cnr.io](http://98a911aa.cnr.io)",  
"type": "phrase",  
"analyze\_wildcard": true  
}  
}  
}  
}

Error I am receiving: Visualize: [parsing\_exception] [match\_phrase] query does not support [analyze\_wildcard], with { line=1 & col=709 }

I followed that document to a T, created a query then went to edit DSL. Any suggestions?
