Hi,  
we are trying to create a new watcher for getting total value in perticular field for that which value is select in aggregations.  
"aggs": {  
"abc": {  
"filter": {  
"term": {  
"field": "abc"  
in abc place we need display total field value.

In this guide in Elastic documentation there is an example on a watcher alert is set up including aggregations

> **[Watching event data | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.4\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.4/watching-meetup-data.html)**

The aggregation data (`ctx.payload.aggregations.group_by_city.buckets`) is used in the action email, but not in the alert condition but it should be accessible as well.

Hope it helps.
