Is there a way to know the (average) number of `search` requests per day hitting the Elasticsearch cluster?

If my ES cluster contains day-wise indices and I want find the no of search requests that hit ES cluster in last 16 days, then

`GET <my_index_prefix>-2022-08-2*,<my_index_prefix>-2022-08-3*,<my_index_prefix>-2022-09-*/_stats/search?filter_path=_all.total.search.fetch_total,_all.total.search.query_total`.

It's output:

```auto
{
  "_all" : {
    "total" : {
      "search" : {
        "query_total" : 5567,
        "fetch_total" : 976
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Perform summation of `query_total` with `fetch_total` which would give `5567 + 976 = 6543`.

Since this was for 16 days, per day would be approx `6543/16 = 408` search requests per day.

Is this the correct approach?
