I would to have a graph so I can see the trend for a period and have a overlay with the running total for the day
Colleague suggested this
index= ......
| timechart sum(values) span=5m by hosts limit=0
| addtotals
But, it doesn't give the running total for day it give the total for the measurement period
index ...
| timechart sum(values) span=5m limit=0 by hosts
| addtotals
| bin _time as day span=1d
| streamstats sum(Total) as running reset_on_change=true by day
| fields - day Total
Honestly, your requirements is a bit vague. How would that work? You want to have a timechart of 5-minute sums by host and additionally for each host a separate series repeating throughout the whole day the value of overall sum per host? That will not look well on the graph.
