Hi,

Is it possible to create a cumulative line graph using the document count that is returned for a search. This is already aggregated by date so I was wondering if you can just sum up the count somehow and then create a cumulated line graph. I see there is a new cumulative aggregate feature that was has been added to elasticsearch but this seem to cumulate a field such as sales. I just want to graph the document count as they were added.

Regards

I think stuff like this will be available soon, the pipeline aggs in ES 2.0 will allow it so KB just needs to implement it.
