> Hello, I have message logs stored on 2 indexes with prefix graylog & critial\_alarms NB: critial\_alarms is for critical detections stream. graylog is “All messages” stream. [image] [image] the search is showing duplication of logs… how can we exclude index critial\_alarms\* from “All messages” search? (critial\_alarms\_1,critial\_alarms\_2,critial\_alarms\_3…) !\_index:critial\_alarms\_2is working fine while !index:critial\_alarms\* is not… Please advise,

try not to duplicate
