I am writing a custom plugin. How do I get the interval that was used for histogram aggregations. When auto scaling is used how do I retrieve the interval. I need the interval for filtering. I am developing on 7.10.2. Thanks in advance! ---

You can pick an interval in Kibana UI and query the data in Elasticsearch. are you looking for how Kibana app is corresponding with elasticsearch? Thanks, Bhavya ---
