Hello,

I have an ES cluster setup. We are using logstash to structure our log-lines and for ingesting into Elasticsearch.

We've got indexes with multiple fields out of which two are:-

> "syslog\_message" - {"type": text},  
> "log\_file\_name" - {"type": text}

I want to search for log files (distinct "log\_file\_name") that have either "abc" OR "xyz" present in the "syslog\_message" field.

How can I do that? I tried using different aggregations but got confused.

Also, is it possible to search using Kibana?

Thanks,  
Yogendra
