ES|QL MIN function
Elastic Cloud Serverless projects are autoscaled environments, fully managed by Elastic and available on Elastic Cloud. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Serverless interfaces and procedures might differ from classic Elastic Stack deployments. The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats. Availability This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments. This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

| exponential_histogram The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats. Availability Generally available since 9.4 This functionality is generally available and ready for production usage. Preview in 9.3 This functionality is in technical preview and is ready for evaluation. Use with caution in production; it is not recommended for mission-critical workloads. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. Specific Support terms apply. Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments.

The expression can use inline functions. For example, to calculate the minimum over an average of a multivalued column, use MV_AVG to first average the multiple values per row, and use the result with the MIN function
FROM employees
| STATS min_avg_salary_change = MIN(MV_AVG(salary_change))
| min_avg_salary_change:double |
|---|
| -8.46 |
MIN can also operate on exponential_histogram fields, returning the minimum of the values which were used to construct the histograms.

| WHERE instance == "instance-0"
| STATS minimum = ROUND(MIN(responseTime), 4)
| minimum:double |

| 2.0E-4 |
MIN can also operate on tdigest and casted histogram fields, returning the minimum of the values which were used to construct the digests.
TS histogram_timeseries_index
| WHERE instance == "instance-0"
| STATS minimum = ROUND(MIN(responseTime::tdigest), 4)
| minimum:double |
