I am trying to create demo using the significant terms aggregation and brainstorming what I can do with this aggregation.

So as a reference, I would like to know how people are using this aggregation. I would appreciate if one can share their use case with significant terms aggregation.

Any comments are appreciated!

Check out the examples in this blog: [Significant Terms Aggregation | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/significant-terms-aggregation)

Since that was written we also have a sampler agg which works well in conjunction with it - see [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azP15yvbOBA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azP15yvbOBA)

@Mark_Harwood

Thanks for the link to the video. It was surprising to see how significant terms aggregation becomes powerful when used with the scattered plot! I wish there was one on **kibana** though.
