I am executing aggregation query in **kibana discovery** but it giving me error `[parsing_exception] no [query] registered for [aggs],` which is **working fine in dev tools**.

**Here is the query which i am using.**

```
   {
  "aggs": {
"users": {
  "terms": {
    "field": "principal.keyword"
  },
  "aggs": {
    "last_visted_date": {
      "max": {
        "field": "timestamp"
      }
    },
    "activity_login": {
      "filter": {
        "term": {
          "action.keyword": "LOGIN"
        }
      },
      "aggs": {
        "last_login_date": {
          "max": {
            "field": "timestamp"
          }
        }
      }
    },
    "active_users": {
      "bucket_selector": {
        "buckets_path": {
          "lastvisted": "last_visted_date",
          "lastlogindate": "activity_login>last_login_date"
        },
        "script": "if(params.lastvisted==params.lastlogindate){return true;}else{return false;}"
      }
    }
  }
}
  }
}

```

**Here is the error i am getting**

```
[parsing_exception] no [query] registered for [aggs]
```

What exactly are you trying to achieve? The Discover app (if that's what you are referring to), is a tool to display individual documents, it's not meant to show aggregated data. If you want to visualize a custom Elasticsearch query, I recommend using the ["vega" visualization](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/vega-graph.html).

Thanks a lot, so you are saying that the visualization for aggregated result can be achieved with **vega visalization** right ?.

Yes, exactly. I’m the documentation and out in the web you can find examples on how to wire it up.
