I will like to group an aggregated result into subgroups. E.g I want to group a document into host, inside the host bucket, I want to group into further buckets of service names, and then further subgroup into response code.

I was able to do a first level nested aggregation but I cant go another level.

Here is my aggregation query so far:

{  
"aggs": {  
"group\_by\_route": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "route",  
"size": 0,  
"order" : { "\_count" : "desc" }  
},  
"aggs": {  
"group\_by\_response\_code": {  
"terms": {  
"field": "consumerResponseCode",  
"size": 0,  
"order" : { "\_count" : "desc" }  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}
