Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch encounters an incorrect value for the day of the week in a date histogram aggregation. The value should be a string (like “Monday”) or a number (1-7), but a different type of value or an out-of-range number was found. To resolve this, ensure that the day of the week value is correctly formatted. If it’s a string, it should be the full name of the day, and if it’s a number, it should be within the range of 1-7, where 1 is Monday and 7 is Sunday.
