Hello guys.

I'm looking forward using kibana and wonder how can I express in kibana aggregation following SQL pseudocode

```sql
SELECT DISTINCT id, version
FROM storage
WHERE level = 'Error'

```

I have one field named `id` and another named `version`. I'd like to display somehow all `id-versions` pairs for events with `Error` level.

How can it be done?

Hi

we don't have distinct fields I think. But what your are trying to achieve seems pretty straightforward. You need to do a terms aggregation on id and version  
and can then do a 'count'-metric (if you care about that value) the "where level = ...' just needs to be a filter on the filter bar. Hope this helps. Let us know if this works for you.

Sorry, I just didn't see any way to group overm ore than one row. After you said it's possible I finally found that another `split row` should be added to make it work. Thank you.
