Filter aggregations

A filter aggregation is a query clause, exactly like a search query — match or term or range. You can use the filter aggregation to narrow down the entire set of documents to a specific set before creating buckets.

The following example shows the avg aggregation running within the context of a filter. The avg aggregation only aggregates the documents that match the range query:

  1. GET opensearch_dashboards_sample_data_ecommerce/_search
  2. {
  3.   "size": 0,
  4.   "aggs": {
  5.     "low_value": {
  6.       "filter": {
  7.         "range": {
  8.           "taxful_total_price": {
  9.             "lte": 50
  10.           }
  11.         }
  12.       },
  13.       "aggs": {
  14.         "avg_amount": {
  15.           "avg": {
  16.             "field": "taxful_total_price"
  17.           }
  18.         }
  19.       }
  20.     }
  21.   }
  22. }
