hi @NOUR

That filter capability was introduced in 5.5 [https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-5-5-0-released](https://www.elastic.co/blog/kibana-5-5-0-released), and not available in 5.4.

You can still add filters, but you need to type these manually in the lucene query bar. That's that input-box that runs on top of Kibana. You can see an example here:[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/kibana-queries-filters.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/kibana-queries-filters.html)
