Hello,

So your interval is daily and you are seeing results for that. I am not sure how to tweak this? I will buzz you back.

Thanks,

There is no such function to filter date histogram buckets.

One option is to create a [runtime field](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/runtime-retrieving-fields.html) to calculate the date of `@timestamp` and then use terms aggregation with size 1 on that runtime field.
