This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.
A parent pipeline aggregation which calculates the cumulative sum of a specified metric in a parent histogram (or date_histogram)
aggregation. The specified metric must be numeric and the enclosing histogram must have min_doc_count set to 0 (default
for histogram aggregations).
Syntax
editA cumulative_sum aggregation looks like this in isolation:
{
"cumulative_sum": {
"buckets_path": "the_sum"
}
}

The following snippet calculates the cumulative sum of the total monthly sales:
{
"aggs" : {
"sales_per_month" : {

"field" : "date",
"interval" : "month"
},
"aggs": {
"sales": {
"sum": {
"field": "price"
}
},
"cumulative_sales": {
"cumulative_sum": {
"buckets_path": "sales"
}
}
}
}
}
}
