Search input

A search input can be used to pull in data from an Elasticsearch index.

You can use the full power of the Elasticsearch query syntax to query, filter and aggregate your data.

Example:

{
	"type": "search",
	"name": "Audit log events",
	"target": "auditlog",
	"request": {
		"indices": [
			"audit*"
		],
		"body": {
			"size": 5,
			"query": {
				"bool": {
					"must": [{
							"match": {
								"audit_category": {
									"query": "FAILED_LOGIN"
								}
							}
						},
						{
							"range": {
								"@timestamp": {
									"gte": "now-5m"
								}
							}
						}
					]
				}
			},
			"aggs": {
				"failed_logins": {
					"terms": {
						"field": "audit_request_effective_user.keyword"
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
