Another alternative: you can create a [transform](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/transforms.html) and visualize the ouput of it in kibana.

Transform supports scripted metric aggregations, [see examples](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/transform-examples.html).

Transforms comes for the price of extra storage but reduces load at query time as you do not have to re-run aggregations which might be expensive.
