Very slow aggregate query

Hi all I have 200 Gb data in Elasticsearch and when I excecute an aggregate query it takes 8 seconds. My client goes in timeout.
Actually my query is like that:

{
  "aggs": {
    "filtered": {
      "filter": {
        "bool": {
          "must": [
            {
              "term":                 {
                "accountUuid": "12163397"
              }              
            },
            {
              "range": {
                "currentDate": {
                  "from": 1203891371186,
                  "to": 1806483371186                  
                }                
              }              
            }            ]          
        }        
      },
      
          "aggs": {
            "usage_time_histogram" : {
              "date_histogram" : {
                "field" : "currentDate",
                "interval" : "month"                 
              },
              "aggs": {
                "totalUpload": {
                  "sum": {
                    "field": "usageUpload"                            
                  }                          
                },
                "totalDownload": {
                  "sum": {
                    "field": "usageDownload"                            
                  }                          
                }  ,
                "totalTraffic": {
                  "sum": {
                    "field": "totalTraffic"                            
                  }                          
                }                        
              }               
            }            
                
      }      
    }     
  },
  "size": 0  
}

and the index is mappes like that:

{
    "statistic": {
        "mappings": {
            "properties": {
                "_class": {

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Is it only a hardware matter? How to increase speed of my aggregate query? Sorry for my poor english, and thanks in advance

I'd probably run something like this (not tested and json format is probably wrong):

{
    "query": {
        "bool": {
          "must": [
            {
              "term": {
                "accountUuid.keyword": "12163397"
              }              
            },
            {
              "range": {
                "currentDate": {
                  "from": 1203891371186,
                  "to": 1806483371186                  
                }                
              }              
            }            ]          
      },
          "aggs": {
            "usage_time_histogram" : {
              "date_histogram" : {
                "field" : "currentDate",
                "interval" : "month"                 
              },
              "aggs": {
                "totalUpload": {
                  "sum": {
                    "field": "usageUpload"                            
                  }                          
                },
                "totalDownload": {
                  "sum": {
                    "field": "usageDownload"                            
                  }                          
                }  ,
                "totalTraffic": {
                  "sum": {
                    "field": "totalTraffic"                            
                  }                          
                }                        
              }               
      }      
    }     
  },
  "size": 0  
}

Does it take 8 seconds on every run or only on the first run?

It could. What kind of hardware do you have? How much heap did you set for Elasticsearch?

It's well formed :grinning: but it was just to give you the idea of the kind of aggregate I need to do.
If I share the aggregate in 3 different query one for each field aggregate, could be faster?

I don't think it will. What is the total time from the Elasticsearch response?

7 seconds. My mobile client goes in timeout

Could you share the full JSON response? You could share it on gist.github.com if too big for this forum.

Some comments:

Please upgrade. So many things changed since that version. 7.15 is the last one.

What's the HEAP size of your node?

I guess that the index you are trying to query is statistic, right?
It's one single shard with around 50gb of data. May be you should try to split it in 3 or 4 shards?

We try to increase shards but performance are worst

Could you answer the other questions?

HEAP
heap.current heap.percent heap.max
7.9gb 49 16gb

yes it is statistic and actually we have 8 shards

But

This says one shard. What is the exact status?

Also, could you answer to this question?

What kind of hardware do you have?

SORRY 1 SHARDS.
I do not know anything about hw. Sorry

May be you are using slow spinning disks?

May be check with the Profile API what is happening? See Profile API | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic
