Hello,

In Kibana I want to filter out messages when the field "EntryMessage" contains "Contact with Id {{numeric\_id}} has an incorrect login name or password."  
I tried this filter, but it does not work:

```auto
{
  "regexp": {
    "EntryMessage": {
      "value": "Contact with Id [0-9]+ has an incorrect login name or password."
    }
  }
}

```

</div>

This works:

```auto
{
  "query_string": {
    "query": "EntryMessage:Contact with Id .+ has an incorrect login name or password."
  }
}

```
