Splunk Search

Capture the total number of requests before rendering the chart.

I'm charting some events BY Host which gives me the correct counts for each host. I would like to also display a "% Total Requests" on each line, but can't figure out how to capture the total number of requests before renderng the chart. In other words, I need to be able to do:

Requests / Total Requests for each line in the table.

This is the current search, without the Total Requests:

/nepoc_access.log.1" | lookup dnslookup ip AS client_ip | rename host AS Host | chart count(Host) AS Requests, sum(eval(file_size/1000000000)) AS GBytes by Host | sort 100 -Requests

And the Results are:

Host    Requests    GBytes

1 host1 1382 0.023790
2 host2 1072 0.011972
3 host3 660 0.006896
