Hi,
I need a DSL query to filter some value from the requests.
From the below requests i need to exclude requests which contains _.html,.gif,.css,.jpg_ at the ending. i need only the requests which are without those extensions.
**kindly help me to get that search query**
> Field name : request.keyword
>
> request.keyword: Descending
> /Kibana/{{pdfurlpreview}}
> /Kibana/webja/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap

If you're using the Filter bar with KQL, this should work `not (request.keyword : *.html or request.keyword : *.gif or request.keyword : *.css or request.keyword : *.jpg)`. If you want the actual json of the filter for some other place, just save a search with this filter and then copy the filter from the Saved Search object in Management.
