Hi All,

I am trying to determine number of hits that an index experiences in a 24 hours period.

I see the number as `87,366,378` for a 24 hour period between Jan 6th and 7th as follows:

How can I get this number `87,366,378` in Dev Tools using a search/ count query?

Also I believe that this number is not the same as document count.

Please guide.

Hi @zaeemmasood .

If you need only count use [api count](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-count.html) and [range query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-range-query.html)
