Support Query DSL in queries and filters

[thejohnfreeman]

I believe some queries cannot be done with the query string query alone, e.g. queries on nested fields. It shouldn't be too hard to just support an arbitrary Query DSL object. I'll take a look into doing it next week, unless an alternative exists. A Google search for "kibana query dsl" turns up nothing.

We have plans to implement this in an upcoming version. We've waited on it for now while development of a new javascript client progresses. Once we have that in place this will be one of the first new features.

[thejohnfreeman]

Which JS client are you waiting for? Is there anything I can do to help move this forward?

[rashidkpc]

Its being developed internally, should be out in the coming weeks.

What is the progress on the current issue? And one more question: how can we query on various endpoints? (not only on _search one)

[ecbrodie]

Also curious about the status of this issue.

Any update on this?

👍

[rabson85]

+1 for this, would be great to have the possibility to edit the inspected elements, and at least do a clean json object query in the search field in Kibana as well.

We're still working on it, turned out to be a bit more complex than we thought todo right. Coming soonish.

[saiprasadmishra]

Thanks @rashidkpc this will be a killer feature for me and if I can get a preview edition of kibana for this it will be great for my demo purpose...This is one of the great ways to push ES in a bigger org where I am in right now....makes it really compelling case to not build any visualization for an ES index where we have modeled everything as nested for reliable search result

Hi,
Right now Kibana supports only basic lucene queries. I know we have 2 bugs open for custom queries (770 and 814). Do we have an update on that one? Can we use custom queries using Facets in Kibana. And also, currently Kibana turns all the queries to Facets internally, can we use aggregation queries in our custom queries.

Thanks,
Sandeep

With Kibana 4 you can put JSON right into the query bar.

It's not perfect but in a pinch it will allow you to use the DSL to create queries.

[jvienne]

@rashidkpc: any news of this feature? Thanks!

@spenceralger : this sounds great, but how to do it? How to put JSON into the query bar?

(I'm trying with the query of this example: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/children-agg.html)

[ssoto]

+1 to that feature.

I have some _mapping fields that I get by a transform. Could be nice use in my queries.

Thank you!

"Kibana 3 does not support JSON queries. You will need kibana 4 for this "

[surbhi26]

Is there any update of writing JSON queries in Kibana 4 ?

[yesoreyeram]

Any update on this feature? Also why this issue is in closed state? @spalger how to put JSON in query bar?

[spalger]

@yesoreyeram it's really just that easy

[yesoreyeram]

+1 OMG! Super cool!!! Thanks @spalger

[navraj28]

@spalger Can I get Kibana to work with queries like the one attached?
test.txt

[satheeshravirintern]

@navraj28 I know its an old comment but I am using query similar to yours. Were you able to execute your query in Kibana?

[darrencruse]

Any reason this got closed? Did it get implemented?

(I'm needing to create a Kibana Visualization that shows a weighted average computed using a "bucket_script" aggregation - I was hoping this issue might have provided me a way to simply use my elasticsearch query directly without it being generated for me by Kibana based on my UI selections)

[rokcarl]

I need to do custom Elasticsearch queries as well, for example, there's a bug for rolled-up indices that has a workaround in the form of a custom query. Currently, there's no way for me to do the chart that I need.

Is this even on the roadmap?
