Run custom aggregations over your request logs. Define what to measure and how to slice it; the API returns structured data you can use however you want — feed it into a chart, run analysis on it, pipe it into a dashboard, or process it programmatically. Each query in the customCharts array specifies a metric and optionally a breakdown dimension or time bucketing:

Shape	Fields required
Single aggregate	`metric` (and `metricField` unless `metric` is `count`)
Grouped breakdown	Add `groupByField` or `groupByMetadataKey`
Over time	Add `timeSeries: true`
Multiple metrics at once	Replace `metric`/`metricField` with a `series` array

Metrics

metric controls the aggregation function:

Value	Description
`count`	Number of matching requests (no `metricField` needed)
`sum`	Total of a numeric field
`avg`	Average of a numeric field
`min`	Minimum value
`max`	Maximum value
`percentile`	Arbitrary percentile — requires `percentile` (0–100)

Supported metric fields (`metricField`)

input_tokens, output_tokens, cost, latency_ms, prompt_version_number, turn_count, tool_call_count, cached_tokens, thinking_tokens

Latency values are returned in seconds (converted from milliseconds internally).

Group-by fields (`groupByField`)

engine, provider_type, prompt_id, prompt_version_number, status, error_type, tags, metadata_keys, output_keys, input_variable_keys, tool_names Use groupByMetadataKey instead to break down by values of a specific metadata key (e.g. "environment" or "user_id").

Filters

All filter fields from Search Request Logs are supported (filter_group, q, sort_by, sort_order). Filters are applied before aggregation.

Response shape

Each entry in the response customCharts array contains:

id — echoes the id you sent
series — array of series descriptors: { key, label, unit } — describes what each numeric key in the data rows represents
data — array of rows, each with a label and one numeric key per series. Time-bucketed rows also include bucketKey (ISO date string).
derivedInsights — (multi-metric only) pre-computed ratio summaries

chartType and title are also echoed back but are optional hints — use them if you’re rendering a chart, ignore them if you’re just processing the numbers.

Behavior Notes

sort_by / sort_order are accepted for compatibility but do not affect aggregated output.
Overall aggregates (no timeSeries, no groupByField) return a single row with label: "Overall".
Multi-metric grouped time-series is not supported — use multiple single-metric queries instead.
series keys must be unique within a query; id values must be unique within the request.
