However, if a single computationally expensive query is executed multiple times, it can occupy all top N query slots, potentially preventing other expensive queries from appearing in the list. To address this issue, you can group similar queries, gaining insight into various high-impact query groups. + +Starting with OpenSearch version 2.17, the top N queries can be grouped by `similarity`, with additional grouping options planned for future version releases. + +## Grouping queries by similarity + +Grouping queries by `similarity` organizes them based on the query structure, removing everything except the core query operations. + +For example, the following query: + +```json +{ + "query": { + "bool": { + "must": [ + { "exists": { "field": "field1" } } + ], + "query_string": { + "query": "search query" + } + } + } +} +``` + +Has the following corresponding query structure: + +```c +bool + must + exists + query_string +``` + +When queries share the same query structure, they are grouped together, ensuring that all similar queries belong to the same group. + + +## Aggregate metrics per group + +In addition to retrieving latency, CPU, and memory metrics for individual top N queries, you can obtain aggregate statistics for the +top N query groups. For each query group, the response includes the following statistics: +- The total latency, CPU usage, or memory usage (depending on the configured metric type) +- The total query count + +Using these statistics, you can calculate the average latency, CPU usage, or memory usage for each query group. +The response also includes one example query from the query group. + +## Configuring query grouping + +Before you enable query grouping, you must enable top N query monitoring for a metric type of your choice. For more information, see [Configuring top N query monitoring]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observing-your-data/query-insights/top-n-queries/#configuring-top-n-query-monitoring). + +To configure grouping for top N queries, use the following steps. + +### Step 1: Enable top N query monitoring + +Ensure that top N query monitoring is enabled for at least one of the metrics: latency, CPU, or memory. For more information, see [Configuring top N query monitoring]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observing-your-data/query-insights/top-n-queries/#configuring-top-n-query-monitoring). + +For example, to enable top N query monitoring by latency with the default settings, send the following request: + +```json +PUT _cluster/settings +{ + "persistent" : { + "search.insights.top_queries.latency.enabled" : true + } +} +``` +{% include copy-curl.html %} + +### Step 2: Configure query grouping + +Set the desired grouping method by updating the following cluster setting: + +```json +PUT _cluster/settings +{ + "persistent" : { + "search.insights.top_queries.group_by" : "similarity" + } +} +``` +{% include copy-curl.html %} + +The default value for the `group_by` setting is `none`, which disables grouping. As of OpenSearch 2.17, the supported values for `group_by` are `similarity` and `none`. + +### Step 3 (Optional): Limit the number of monitored query groups + +Optionally, you can limit the number of monitored query groups. Queries already included in the top N query list (the most resource-intensive queries) will not be considered in determining the limit. Essentially, the maximum applies only to other query groups, and the top N queries are tracked separately. This helps manage the tracking of query groups based on workload and query window size. + +To limit tracking to 100 query groups, send the following request: + +```json +PUT _cluster/settings +{ + "persistent" : { + "search.insights.top_queries.max_groups_excluding_topn" : 100 + } +} +``` +{% include copy-curl.html %} + +The default value for `max_groups_excluding_topn` is `100`, and you can set it to any value between `0` and `10,000`, inclusive. + +## Monitoring query groups + +To view the top N query groups, send the following request: + +```json +GET /_insights/top_queries +``` +{% include copy-curl.html %} + +The response contains the top N query groups: + +
