Add column total to timechart graph as annotation

[thesmith]

Hi, I have a timechart that, say, graphs successful calls over a month but it would be good to add the total for the month somewhere. addcoltotal will do this but I don't know how to add it textually to the graph and not screw up the end of the graph. I don't really mind where the total goes, as long as it's there (annotation, legend, title).

sourcetype="source" callTime>10 | timechart count | addcoltotals

I'd additionally rather not have a cumulative column as that skews the scale of the graph.

Assuming this ends up in a dashboard, have you considered using a second panel?

Alternatively, put a sideviewutils HTML module in the timechart's panel to print out the total.
