Hello Gurus and Newcomers of THE LANGUAGE! Seeking your wisdom and help with Search::Elasticsearch module... I was actually very surprised to see no questions about this given limited Perl docs on the matter.

I am trying to match the log dates AND filter or search by time as well. The following works as expected giving me first 3 lines from the log for a given date:

my $es = Search::Elasticsearch->new(
        nodes       => 'logs.server.local:9200',
        cxn_pool => 'Sniff', ##  "web servers and Elasticsearch server
+s are on the same network"
    );

my $results = $es->search(
body => {
   query => {    
    filtered => {
      query  => { term => { component=> 'ens_iis' } },
        filter => {            
          and => [
           { term => { date=> '2014-04-22' } },
          ],
        },
      }
    }
  },
  from => 0,    
  size => 3,    
  timeout => 60,    
);

However for the life of me i cannot get the time filter to work! I tried various different ways and either get incorrect results or none at all. Here's the most logical (in my eyes) attempt of such search that does NOT work:

my $results = $es->search(
body => {
   query => {    
    filtered => {
      query  => { term => { component=> 'ens_iis' } },
        filter => {            
          and => [
           { term => { date=> '2014-04-22' } },
           { range => {
                      time => {
                              gte => '02:00:00',
                              lt => '07:55:00'
                              }
                      }
            },
          ],
        },
      }
    }
  },
  from => 0,    
  size => 3,    
  timeout => 60,    
);

This returns the same rows as without the filter with timestamps starting 00:03:56. I tried various ways to escape the timestamps but without expected results.

Im not sure what i am missing here and will be grateful for any guidance and advice!

Thank you!
