I have an issue that is not unlike this request... [Apply a simple math operation to doc\_count](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/apply-a-simple-math-operation-to-count-result/23817) We have events rolling in, we look at them and check for certain features. We mark them with a sort of classification scheme. Say "Apples" and "Bananas". I can "aggs" on that scheme and get a doc\_count for Apples and Bananas. Is there a way to get the Apple to Banana ratio? I see this is open: [doc\_count metric agg](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/17631) I had the thought of logstash -\> mutate -\> add\_field something like `{ "__count_me": 1 }` so I could do math over that. Is there another way out? Has anyone skinned this cat in a clever way? 😃 Thanks! -ave ---
