Hello,

Is it possible to display trends in the count metric?  
So if the query returns 77 results now, but it shows 60 results for now-1h the display result will be 77 UP trend 17. So the number of documents increased in 17 at the last hour?

Thank you.

I think this might do what you are looking to do: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-pipeline-serialdiff-aggregation.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-pipeline-serialdiff-aggregation.html)

Hi Bill,  
Thank you for your response. Looks like it is what I was looking for.  
However, as I understand Kibana visualisations do not support this type of searching aggregations?
