Getting Totals from a Terms Aggregation

Hi,

I've started using aggregations heavily to make nifty little pie charts
like the one below. To generate the pie chart below, I ran a terms
aggregation on a particular field which has entries such as Sterne, Fish,
etc. However, the terms aggregation only returns a doc_count for each
individual term, but I'd also like to know the total doc_count so that I
can create another pie slice for "other." Is there any way to do this in a
single aggregation call?

Thanks,

You get it from the search request that wraps the terms aggregation, under
total hits in the root of the response

Hm, I don't think that works as a general solution. If you're using
sub-aggregations or a filter aggregation, the total for the entire search
will be too high.

Aggregations operate on the results of a search query, so you can
definitely use that total also when you have sub-aggregations. As for
filter aggregations, you can have a subtract which acts as a sink for all
unused docs and subtract it's count from the total count
