Hi, I use this code, when I remove the line: "filter": { "range" : { "@timestamp": { "from" : "now-5m"}}}: it works but I get a lot of hits. When I add this line I get the message "execution not needed", why is that?

{  
"trigger" : {  
"schedule" : {  
"interval" : "1m" }  
},  
"input" : {  
"search" : {  
"request" : {  
"indices" : ["\<logstash-{now/d}\>"],  
"body" : {  
"query" : {  
"bool": {  
"must": { "match" : { "message": "BGP" }},  
"filter": { "range" : { "@timestamp": { "from" : "now-5m"}}}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"condition" : {  
"compare" : { "ctx.payload.hits.total" : { "gt" : 0 }}  
},  
"actions" : {  
"send\_email" : {  
"throttle\_period" : "15m",  
"email" : {  
"account" : "work",  
"to" : "xxxxx@xxx.xl",  
"subject" : "[KIBANA] {{ctx.payload.hits.total}} BGP flaps",  
"body" : "BGP flaps",  
"attach\_data" : true  
}  
}  
}  
}
