Hi Im trying to emulate the anomaly explorer in a vega visualization, at first I think that a top hit agreggation will get me similar results, like this query:

```auto
POST /.ml-anomalies-*/_search
{
  "size": 0, 
  "aggs": {
    "top_score": {
      "top_hits": {
        "sort": [
          {
            "record_score": {
              "order": "desc"
            }
          }
        ],
        "_source": {
          "includes": [
            "actual",
            "typical",
            "partition_field_value",
            "record_score",
            "timestamp",
            "by_field"
          ]
        },
        "size": 10
      }
    }
  }
}

```

but after seeing this anomaly explorer for a job, I realize that is more than just a top hit aggregation

what will be the query to obtain similar results and display them in vega?

Hey @ElasticLiver,

First, may I ask what elastic stack version you're using? Since `7.8` we provide the [anomaly swim lane embeddable](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/64056) and since `7.9`, you can [attach to the dashboard](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/68784) directly from the Anomaly Explorer page.

If you still prefer to write a query manually, it depends on the anomaly results you are interested in. Is it the Overall swim lane, View by an influencer, or View by job id?
