I have been looking into using Kibana for reports. I need to be able to aggregate our data and then subtract from those aggregations and get. I see that scripted fields will only work for each individual document and as such won't be helpful. Is there anyway that I can achieve this using Kibana? what would you recommend for creating reports from Elasticsearch? I was thinking just using python + matplotlib + latex to create pdf reports. ---

You might be able to use [Timelion](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/timelion.html) to accomplish this (depending on what you need to do). Kibana has a [reporting feature](https://www.elastic.co/products/stack/reporting) built-in, which can generate CSV and PDF reports based on visualizations and dashboards ---
