[[avg-bucket-agg-syntax]]
==== Syntax

An `avg_bucket` aggregation looks like this in isolation:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"avg_bucket": {
"buckets_path": "the_sum"
}
}

[[avg-bucket-params]]
.`avg_bucket` Parameters
[options="header"]
|===
|Parameter Name |Description |Required |Default Value
|`buckets_path` |The path to the buckets we wish to find the average for (see <<buckets-path-syntax>> for more
details) |Required |
|`gap_policy` |The policy to apply when gaps are found in the data (see <<gap-policy>> for more
details) |Optional |`skip`
|`format` |format to apply to the output value of this aggregation |Optional | `null`
|===

The following snippet calculates the average of the total monthly `sales`:

[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
POST /_search
==== Parameters

`buckets_path`::
(Required, string)
Path to the buckets to average. For syntax, see <<buckets-path-syntax>>.

`gap_policy`::
(Optional, string)
Policy to apply when gaps are found in the data. For valid values, see
<<buckets-path-syntax>>. Defaults to `skip`.

`format`::
(Optional, string)
{javadoc}/java.base/java/text/DecimalFormat.html[DecimalFormat pattern] for the
output value. If specified, the formatted value is returned in the aggregation's
`value_as_string` property.

[[avg-bucket-agg-response]]
==== Response body

`value`::
(float)
Mean average value for the metric specified in `buckets_path`.

`value_as_string`::
(string)
Formatted output value for the aggregation. This property is only provided if
a `format` is specified in the request.

[[avg-bucket-agg-ex]]
==== Example

The following `avg_monthly_sales` aggregation uses `avg_bucket` to calculate
average sales per month:
