+=== Allowed scripts in scripted metrics aggregations
+
+By default, all scripts are permitted in
+<<search-aggregations-metrics-scripted-metric-aggregation,scripted metrics aggregations>>.
+To restrict the set of allowed scripts, set
+<<search-settings-only-allowed-scripts,`search.aggs.only_allowed_metric_scripts`>>
+to `true` and provide the allowed scripts using
+<<search-settings-allowed-inline-scripts,`search.aggs.allowed_inline_metric_scripts`>>
+and/or
+<<search-settings-allowed-stored-scripts,`search.aggs.allowed_stored_metric_scripts`>>.
+
+To disallow certain script types, omit the corresponding script list
+(`search.aggs.allowed_inline_metric_scripts` or
+`search.aggs.allowed_stored_metric_scripts`) or set it to an empty array.
+When both script lists are not empty, the given stored scripts and the given inline scripts
+will be allowed.
+
+The following example permits only 4 specific stored scripts to be used, and no inline scripts:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+search.aggs.only_allowed_metric_scripts: true
+search.aggs.allowed_inline_metric_scripts: []
+search.aggs.allowed_stored_metric_scripts:
+   - script_id_1
+   - script_id_2
+   - script_id_3
+   - script_id_4
+----
+
+Conversely, the next example allows specific inline scripts but no stored scripts:
+
+[source,yaml]
+----
+search.aggs.only_allowed_metric_scripts: true
+search.aggs.allowed_inline_metric_scripts:
+   - 'state.transactions = []'
+   - 'state.transactions.add(doc.some_field.value)'
+   - 'long sum = 0; for (t in state.transactions) { sum += t } return sum'
+   - 'long sum = 0; for (a in states) { sum += a } return sum'
