An overall bucket has a span equal to the largest job's `bucket_span`. You can summarize the bucket results for all jobs by using `_all` or by

buckets within the overall bucket span. The max `anomaly_score` per
job is calculated. Then the `top_n` of those scores are averaged to
result into the `overall_score`. This means that you can fine-tune
the `overall_score` so that it is more or less sensitive to the number
of jobs that detect an anomaly at the same time.
For example, set `top_n` to 1 and the `overall_score` will be the An overall bucket has a span equal to the largest `bucket_span` value for the

only be high when all jobs present anomalies in that overall bucket. The `overall_score` is calculated by combining the scores of all
the buckets within the overall bucket span. First, the maximum `anomaly_score` per
job in the overall bucket is calculated. Then the `top_n` of those scores are
averaged to result in the `overall_score`. This means that you can fine-tune
the `overall_score` so that it is more or less sensitive to the number
of jobs that detect an anomaly at the same time. For example, if you set `top_n`
to `1`, the `overall_score` is the maximum bucket
score in the overall bucket. Alternatively, if you set `top_n` to the number of
jobs, the `overall_score` is high only when all jobs detect anomalies in that
overall bucket.

for all jobs.
==== Request Body ==== Request Body
`top_n`::
(integer) The number of top job bucket scores to be used in the
`overall_score` calculation. The default value is `1`.
`overall_score`::
(double) Returns overall buckets with overall scores higher than this value.
`exclude_interim`::
(boolean) If true, the output excludes interim overall buckets.
Overall buckets are interim if any of the job buckets within
the overall bucket interval is interim.
By default, interim results are included.
`start`::
(string) Returns overall buckets with timestamps after this time.
`end`::
(string) Returns overall buckets with timestamps earlier than this time.
`allow_no_jobs`:: `allow_no_jobs`::
