Hello Everybody,

if i run a elastic query in kibana console then i am able to see the results but if i use the same query as a filter in Discover Section or in any kibana visualizations then i cannot see any results.

Do i have to make some changes in the Kibana settings or its not possible to do such filtering?

Eagerly waiting for any suggestions..

Thank you..

Best Regards,  
Nirajan

Most places where you do a filter in Kibana use KQL or Lucene syntax: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kuery-query.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kuery-query.html)

I'm not aware of any which take a raw Elasticsearch JSON blob.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your answer.  
But it seems there are not equivalent KQL query for all the Elasticsearch queries.

for example, i would like to know the KQL for following Elasticsearch query:  
GET /s164\_dfig\_47\_040105/\_search  
{  
"size" : 10000,  
"query": {  
"has\_parent" : {  
"parent\_type" : "Status",  
"query" : {  
"term" : {  
"MeanWindSpeed": {  
"value" : "7.00"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Please correct me if i am wrong.

Best regards,  
Nirajan
