The geo_line aggregation aggregates all geo_point values within a bucket into a LineString ordered
by the chosen sort field. This sort can be a date field, for example. The bucket returned is a valid
GeoJSON Feature representing the line geometry.

-
point - (Required)
This option specifies the name of the geo_point field
Example usage configuring my_location as the point field:
"point": {
"field": "my_location"
}
-
sort - (Required)
This option specifies the name of the numeric field to use as the sort key for ordering the points
Example usage configuring @timestamp as the sort key:
"point": {
"field": "@timestamp"
}
-
include_sort -
(Optional, boolean, default:
false)
This option includes, when true, an additional array of the sort values in the feature properties.
-
sort_order -
(Optional, string, default:
"ASC")
This option accepts one of two values: "ASC", "DESC".
The line is sorted in ascending order by the sort key when set to "ASC", and in descending with "DESC".
-
size -
(Optional, integer, default:
10000)
The maximum length of the line represented in the aggregation. Valid sizes are between one and 10000.
