Cumulative Sum Aggregation
editCumulative Sum Aggregation
editA 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"
}
}
Table 23. cumulative_sum Parameters
| Parameter Name | Description | Required | Default Value |

The following snippet calculates the cumulative sum of the total monthly sales:
POST /sales/_search
{
"size": 0,
"aggs" : {
"sales_per_month" : {
"date_histogram" : {
"field" : "date",
"interval" : "month"
},
"aggs": {
"sales": {
"sum": {
"field": "price"
}
},
"cumulative_sales": {
"cumulative_sum": {
"buckets_path": "sales"
}
}
}
}
}
}
