# Max Aggregation > More info about max aggregation is in the [official elasticsearch docs][1] A single-value metrics aggregation that keeps track and returns the maximum value among the numeric values extracted from the aggregated documents. ## Simple example ```JSON { "aggregations" : { "max_price" : { "max" : { "field" : "price" } } } } ``` And now the query via DSL: ```php $maxAggregation = new MaxAggregation('max_price', 'price'); $search = new Search(); $search->addAggregation($maxAggregation); $queryArray = $search->toArray(); ``` [1]: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-metrics-max-aggregation.html
