Hello!

I have this SQL query:

```auto
SELECT time,targetuser, count(targetuser),ipaddress FROM `test_index` WHERE `event_id`=4444 AND `status`=`0x10` GROUP BY ipaddress,targetuser ORDER BY TIME DESC;

```

How convert this SQL query to Elasticsearch query? is it possible?

You probably need to do a `terms` agg on `ipaddress` and then another inner one on `targetuser` and a `bool` query with 2 `term` clauses (one on `event_id` with a value of `4444`, and another one on `status` with a value of `"0x10"`) that you would put inside the `must` array of the `bool` query.
