Add sum events in separate column

[khanlarloo]

it is my search
host="splunk.local"|bucket _time span=1mon | stats count by event

my question is :
To sum the total number of events per month in a seprate field
but when i use this query
host="splunk.local"|bucket _time span=1mon | stats count by event | stats sum(count) as total

the event field disappear i want to have event and count and the total field in my search.
i try this
host="splunk.local"|bucket _time span=1mon | stats count by event| eventstats sum(count) as total|table event total
but it shows the result in all the column, not just on row
how can i solve my problem?

@khanlarloo, you have following options

Option 1: Use addcoltotals command to calculate column total

<YourBaseSearchWithIndexAndSourcetype> host="splunk.local"
| addcoltotals labelfield=event label=Total

PS: Since you are not showing _time in your stats I don't think you need |bucket _time span=1mon, and in case you do, timechart would be a better command
Option 2: Use addtotals command to calculate column total using row=f col=t

<YourBaseSearchWithIndexAndSourcetype> host="splunk.local"
| addcoltotals row=f col=t labelfield=event label=Total

Option 3: If you are on Splunk 6.5 or greater you can use Simple XML Chart configuration option totalsRow set to true

    <option name="totalsRow">true</option>

Following is a run anywhere dashboard based on Splunk _internal index which elaborates all three options:

<dashboard>
  <label>Total Of Field values</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <title>Option 1 : SimpleXML option totalsRow = true</title>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd

| sort - count 
| head 10
</query>
          <earliest>-24h@h</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
        <option name="count">20</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
