Hi members,

I have a problem concerning an visualization.

dockerelk\_elasticsearch-master\_2  
dockerelk\_kibana\_1  
dockerelk\_elasticsearch-master\_1  
elasticsearch-coordinating  
dockerelk\_metricbeat\_1  
dockerelk\_elasticsearch\_3  
dockerelk\_elasticsearch\_2  
dockerelk\_logstash\_1  
dockerelk\_elasticsearch\_1

0.033  
0.011  
0.036  
0.045  
0.002  
0.205  
0.207  
0.065  
0.199  
SUM 0.81

So that are my containers with the memory %. And in the visualization table it is quiet easy to sum all entries.

Now I want the SUM 0.81% in a several visualization gauge.  
So I have tried several things but I dont now how to say:  
Get from all Container.names the Max Memory.usage.pct and build the total sum and visualize it as gauge

Has someone a solution? Thanks for advice.

@thomasneirynck do we support nested queries?

Thanks,  
Bhavya

hi @Invictus,

That sum in the table is calculated by Kibana and not be Elasticsearch.

Can you express that total sum using a Sum-bucket pipeline aggregation? It'd look something like:

Yes, what worked. It was a big fail from my part.  
I made this aggregation via Sum Bucket before and I forgot to set the Size to 10, because of 10 Containers. So the value was to low 0.325% now I set the Size to 10 and i got the same value as in the data table.

Thanks for your reply, Thomas.
