Can you tell me how to filter messages in indexes correctly?  
I am filtering messages by a specific field.  
And I want to see messages only with this value in the field: id-nmap100-tapic-prod  
But I also get messages with this value: id-nmap100-tapic-prod-yd (but I don't need)

Hey! How are you trying to filter your data? Using in the search bar in the top of Discover? Something like that? [[Filters] Add support for creating regex filters · Issue #121750 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/121750)

It is not possible to create filters with regexes but you can use the Edit as query DSL option and create a filter like this [[Filters] Add support for creating regex filters · Issue #121750 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/121750#issuecomment-1049987665)
