Hi

I have an index that has documents with different status. "A", "B", "C", "D"

If i have a metric to count the total of documents, and i add a filter as "status.keyword in "A", "B", it gives me 10 documents, which is correct.

However, if i dont add that filter, but i add as metric "Sum bucket" and i use the aggregation "filters", with the filter status.keyword: "A" or status.keyword:"B", then, it gives me 15 documents, which is incorrect

I was expecting this to return the same value, but it is not. Any idea on why is that happening? Maybe i dont understand how "filters" aggregation works

Thanks

This sounds weird. Does it give the same wrong answer if you use Count instead of Sum Bucket?  
Also, what version of Kibana are you using. I tried on 6.7.0.
