**Describe the issue** :

Wondering if there’s a way that we could directly invoke rest api request with some dql as payload and get the logs?  
or another way to ask that question is how could I fetch the corresponding request body query with the dql: **level.keyword:INFO**

```auto
"query": {
  "bool": {
    "must": [],
    "filter": [
      {
        "bool": {
          "should": [
            {
              "match": {
                "level.keyword": "INFO"
              }
            }
          ],
          "minimum_should_match": 1
        }
      },
      {
        "range": {
          "@timestamp": {
            "gte": "2024-02-12T23:00:00.000Z",
            "lte": "2024-02-12T23:30:00.000Z",
            "format": "strict_date_optional_time"
          }
        }
      }
    ],
    "should": [],
    "must_not": []
  }
},

```
