Complex query on IIS log

Hi all,

I would like extract from intranet weblog (IIS log) top pages grouped by departments to see which pages are most viewed by each department.
I can use the cs_username field to identify the department and with the following query I can count the total activity by depertment:

 

sourcetype="iis" index=intranet | fields cs_username |
   rex field=cs_username "(?i)mydomain\\\(?<username>[^\s]*)" |
   stats count as events by username |
   table username events |
   lookup address.csv Email as username | fillnull value=- |
   stats sum(events) as total_events by department

 

 

Now I would like to extract the most viewed pages (cs_uri_stem) grouped by department. How can I do that?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much ITWhisperer. It works!
May I ask you if is it possible to limit the number of total_events by department to, let's say, the first ten? I would like to display the top 10 cs_uri_stem by for each department.
