Hi,

I have two indexes, one called `warnings` and another, `warning_settings`.

`warning_settings` consists of documents with that simply contain a warning `id` and `disabled: true/false`.

I'd like to query all the `warnings` that don't have a corresponding `warning_settings` document with `disabled: true`, and then do your usual aggregations over that data to generate some nice visualizations in Kibana.

Is this possible with ES? I've got it working as a two step process, but doing this from Kibana seems to require a single query.

Here are the two queries I'm making right now:

```auto
GET warning_settings/_search
query: {
    match: {
       disabled: true,
    },
}

```

```auto
GET warnings/_search
query: {
    ...
    must_not: {
      terms: {
        id: [... ids returned from first query],
      },
    },
  },
},

```

Any help is greatly appreciated!

That's not possible from Elasticsearch or Kibana.  
You could do it with a Watch (via Alerting), but otherwise you'd need to do it in an external client.
