Hi community.  
I have made a query to obtain the average number of bytes per browser type, but I require that only the data that has an average less than 5000 be displayed or retrieved.  
I have read a lot but nothing concrete about how to filter AFTER doing an aggregation with numerical data, (filtering after...not before).  
If anyone has the answer, I'd be deeply grateful.

Hey,

I think you are looking for the [Bucket Selector aggregation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-pipeline-bucket-selector-aggregation.html).

Please let me know if it is what you were looking for,

Tim
