Stats Bucket Aggregation

edit

This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

A sibling pipeline aggregation which calculates a variety of stats across all bucket of a specified metric in a sibling aggregation. The specified metric must be numeric and the sibling aggregation must be a multi-bucket aggregation.

Syntax

edit

A stats_bucket aggregation looks like this in isolation:

{
    "stats_bucket": {
        "buckets_path": "the_sum"
    }
}

Table 6. stats_bucket Parameters

Parameter Name	Description	Required	Default Value
`buckets_path`	The path to the buckets we wish to calculate stats for (see `buckets_path` Syntax for more details)	Required
`gap_policy`	The policy to apply when gaps are found in the data (see Dealing with gaps in the data for more details)	Optional	`skip`
`format`	format to apply to the output value of this aggregation	Optional	`null`

The following snippet calculates the stats for monthly sales:

POST /sales/_search
{
    "size": 0,
    "aggs" : {
        "sales_per_month" : {
            "date_histogram" : {
                "field" : "date",
                "interval" : "month"
            },
            "aggs": {
                "sales": {
                    "sum": {
                        "field": "price"
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        "stats_monthly_sales": {
            "stats_bucket": {
                "buckets_path": "sales_per_month>sales" 
            }
        }
    }
}

bucket_paths instructs this stats_bucket aggregation that we want the calculate stats for the sales aggregation in the sales_per_month date histogram.

And the following may be the response:

   "timed_out": false,
   "_shards": ...,
   "hits": ...,
