# Date histogram aggregations
|
|
|
|
The `date_histogram` aggregation uses [date math]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/opensearch/supported-field-types/date/#date-math) to generate histograms for time-series data.
|
|
|
|
For example, you can find how many hits your website gets per month:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
GET opensearch_dashboards_sample_data_logs/_search
|
|
{
|
|
"size": 0,
|
|
"aggs": {
|
|
"logs_per_month": {
|
|
"date_histogram": {
|
|
"field": "@timestamp",
|
|
"interval": "month"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
{% include copy-curl.html %}
|
|
|
|
#### Example response
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
...
|
|
"aggregations" : {
|

|

|
|
{
|
|
"key_as_string" : "2020-10-01T00:00:00.000Z",
|
|
"key" : 1601510400000,

"doc_count" : 1635
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"key_as_string" : "2020-11-01T00:00:00.000Z",
|
|
"key" : 1604188800000,

|
|
"key" : 1606780800000,
|
|
"doc_count" : 5595
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}

```

The response has three months worth of logs. If you graph these values, you can see the peak and valleys of the request traffic to your website month over month.
