Hello,

I'm attempting to extract the number of status 500 errors from an  
ElasticSearch server over a range of time and I believe that the data is  
incorrect or too high and believe that the query may be incorrect. (I'm  
using a search query from logstash and dumping it straight into a ruby  
script.

#elastic.rb

require 'elasticsearch'

client = Elasticsearch::Client.new hosts: [{host: '10.10.10.10', port:  
9200}]

value = client.search index: '2015.04.28',  
body: {  
"facets"=\> {  
"0"=\> {  
"date\_histogram"=\> {  
"field"=\> "@timestamp",  
"interval"=\> "15m"  
},  
"global"=\> true,  
"facet\_filter"=\> {  
"fquery"=\> {  
"query"=\> {  
"filtered"=\> {  
"query"=\> {  
"query\_string"=\> {  
"query"=\> "type:iis6 AND status:500"  
}  
},  
"filter"=\> {  
"bool"=\> {  
"must"=\> [  
{  
"range"=\> {  
"@timestamp"=\> {  
"from"=\> "#{last\_time}",  
"to"=\> "#{current\_time}"  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
},  
"size"=\> 0  
}

values = value["hits"]["total"] # where current\_time is current time in  
epoch and last\_time is current\_time-7200(2 hours)

I'm getting a very high value (over 340,000) when I should be getting a  
value of say 272 errors over a 2 hour period.

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
