Hi, I am creating linchart in Kibana for some URLs. There are few URLs like: /myApplication/v2.0/card-history/9999-00/ /myApplication//v2.0/card-history/checkcardexist/9999-00?query 9999-00 is the card number. When I have to add filter to the graph, I face difficulty. I can say message:" /myApplication/v2.0/card-history/" it gives results for second query as well because both queries are same till ' **card-history**' . How can I differentiate both queries without hard coding the number? Is there any way I can put some rege-ex or pattern or wild card in query? br, Sunil ---

Elasticsearch works on [analyzers and tokenizers](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis.html). If you're wanting to tokenize paths for searching I would suggest taking a look at the [path\_hierarchy](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-pathhierarchy-tokenizer.html) tokenizer ---
