Aggregating by hour

I was sort of expecting the following to give me an aggregation which
groups the results only by hour:

curl http://localhost:9000/stream/_search -d '{
"aggs" : {
"visitor_count" : { "date_histogram" : { "field" : "created_at", "interval" : "hour"} }
}
}'

As it stands, it does group by hour, but it's also grouped by day. (I end
up with 24 results for each day I have data).

I understand this is correct however, I would like to understand how it
possible to group this only by the hour so I have 24 results only?

I think you want something like a histogram with a value script to decide
the bucket. But it looks like histogram doesn't support that, so would a
range agg work? Otherwise, it might be easiest to store the hour in
addition to the timestamp.

You can use The histogram aggregate and use a script with something like document[@timestamp].hour

Sort of trying to stay away from scripting after we ran out of juice
recently. Seems to take a reasonably large amount of memory for each run?

We're using the for about 100million records.

In the end, I added an hour and day field to Mongo when processing the raw
data. That way we can use a really simple terms aggregation with a filter.

Will have a look at the 'document[@timestamp].hour' idea though and see
what it's like

Cheers!
