Hi,

I am new to Elasticsearch and i've been playing around with the aggregation within the visualise section. I am trying to aggregate off key indicators (i have around 50 - 60) and its going to be something i want to repeat... Right now i have the metrics sorted to aggregate on certain fields and i have a bucket aggregation set to filters with a new filter for each key indicator... but adding them manually is a long process, is there a way to import them to the search?

Hey,

maybe you could reuse the [search template](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/search-template.html) feature for this kind of use-case?

Can you just add the arguments into a POST?

"aggs": {  
"2": {  
"filters": {  
"filters": {  
"84.2.3.1": {  
"query": {  
"query\_string": {  
"query": "84.2.3.1",  
"analyze\_wildcard": true  
}  
}  
},
