Hi all

Now I'm trying to get the size of the facet term and trying to display the  
result on Kibana

As I do:

curl -XGET "[http://localhost:9200/logstash-2013.10.31/\_search?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/logstash-2013.10.31/_search?pretty=true)"  
-d '  
{  
"facets" : {  
"tags" : { "terms" : {"field" : "uid", _"size" : 3_} }  
}  
}  
'

The facets part returns:

"facets" : {  
"tags" : {  
"\_type" : "terms",  
"missing" : 34,  
"total" : 20,  
"other" : 4,  
"terms" : [ {  
"term" : "uid\_a",  
"count" : 9  
}, {  
"term" : "uid\_b",  
"count" : 4  
}, {  
"term" : "uid\_c",  
"count" : 3  
} ]  
}  
}

Actually there are 5 different uid but I set the size to 3 so it return the  
top 3 user with the most count.  
And what I want is the total uid that appear on my query.  
Is there any query that I can get the exact size, which is 5 in this case,  
of the specific field??  
What I'm trying to do is to count the active uid # of a time interval (say  
1day, 7days, 15days etc.) and create a graph on Kibana.  
Does anyone have the experience?  
Thanks a lot!
