Hi,
When I am trying to execute below query
curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/logstash\*/\_search](http://localhost:9200/logstash*/_search)' -d '{ "query" : { "filter" : ["range" : { "timestamp" : {"gt" : "2017-02-01 00:00:00","lt" : "2017-05-01 00:00:00"}}]}}'
I am getting below error
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"parsing\_exception","reason":"[filter] query malformed, no start\_object after query name","line":1,"col":26}] ,"status":400}
if I am executing the date range filter from sense plugin , i am getting the desired result.
Help would b appreciated.
Regards,
Kunal

Use kibana dev console then just click on the icon near the query to copy the request as a curl command and use it.

thank you @dadoonet.....That also worked....
I am having one more question regarding kibana dashboard.Can we create custom dashboards with custom filters Kibana irrespective of the default dashboard kibana provides ?
If yes , would you please let me now how to do it?

That's another question which will be better to ask on #kibana forum.
> If yes , would you please let me now how to do it?
Yes you can. But the question is too vague. You have tons of videos/tutorials/docs available online.
I'd start here: [Kibana Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/index.html)
