Get more info for each aggregated bucket

Hi, I am trying to create an aggregation by using the terms field. This creates buckets based on the provided field but I want to get more data for each bucket.

To be more specific I have user data, where I have a user_id as well as a username, and other data that are unique to the user.

I am trying to aggregate data over a specific period so I get:

  1. the total number of users that did a particular action over that time-span
  2. a histogram of how many users did the action over that time-span per day
  3. the number of times each user did the action over that time-span per day

In (3.) I am creating a bucket for each user based on the user_id (by using the termsfield) but I would also like to get the additional user info, like the username, etc.

I cannot find any way to do that.

To check the number of users and get a list of users who did a specific action over the time-span I have the following query:

{
    "size": 0,
    "track_total_hits": true,
    "query": {
        "bool": {
            "must": [
                {
                    "match": {
                        "action_type_hash.keyword": "10637ef194438230be3d8e6158bc83712573b8db07809a5c956d3fb301ee233f"
                    }
                }
            ],
            "filter": [
                {
                    "range": {
                        "active": {
                            "gte": 1655892938,
                            "lt": 1656414938
                        }
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    "aggs": {
        "unique_users": {
            "cardinality": {
                "field": "user.id"
            }
        },
        "hist": {
            "histogram": {
                "field": "action_time",
                "min_doc_count": 0,
                "interval": 3600
            },
            "aggs": {,
                "users": {
                    "terms": {
                        "field": "user.id",
                        "size": 50
                  }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

But this returns the buckets with the user_id only and the count.

This is a specific question for DSL but labelled as SQL, I copied your question to OpenSearch section [DSL] Get more info for each aggregated bucket
