Sai,

I’d suggest you look at using a ControllerStatusReportingTask [1], which 
monitors the processor and provides statistics from that component. If you need 
to use this data within NiFi, you can also use 
SiteToSiteProvenanceReportingTask [2], which can export provenance events as 
data that can be consumed by (the same or a different) instance of NiFi. Both 
of these may be overkill for your use case (the provenance reporting task will 
offload all of the provenance events from the application), and if so, you may 
be able to use counters [3] to do this quickly and easily (but be aware that 
the values are just held in memory, so if you’re writing to ES hourly, you 
should be ok, but they won’t persist across restart). Your initial thought to 
use ExecuteScript would also work.

I believe Joe Percivall had done some work on SEP and window/aggregate 
calculations before. That may also help with what you are doing.

Here's the link to the processor: 
https://github.com/JPercivall/nifi/blob/newRollingState/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-standard-bundle/nifi-standard-processors/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/processors/standard/RollingWindowAggregator.java
Here's the ticket: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1682?jql=project%20%3D%20NIFI%20AND%20text%20~%20%22rolling%20window%22

Keep in mind that this work is old and will need to be updated. I do have a 
pending PR for UpdateAttribute with State though: 
https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/319
