Hi,
Is it possible to get number of queries/searched executed on a type in an certain index?
What I am going to do is to calculate query rate per type in an index, is it possible to do that?

Hi,
this is not done by default and I think there is no API that would give you this kind of statistics. But I saw people using (or abusing, depends on the point of view) the slow log do log all search and index requests to your cluster. This [blog](http://blog.florian-hopf.de/2016/03/logging-requests-to-elasticsearch.html) gives an idea of how to do this. You would have to filter and analyze the logs yourself to get the query rates though.
