Splunk Search

Delta based on multiple inboxes

We've gotten a search to work that shows the delta between the number of messages in an inbox for a period of time:

 

<basesearch>
| bin _time span=5m
| stats max(Items) AS Max by _time
| delta Max as Delta
| fields _time Delta
| where Delta>=10

 

But I want to do this based on multiple inboxes, and delta is merging the inboxes together, so the values of each inbox are interfering with each other.

 

<basesearch multiple mailboxes>
| bin _time span=5m
| stats max(Items) AS Max  by _time User
| delta Max as Delta
| fields _time Delta User

 

returns:

_timeUserMaxDelta
09:15user1103 
09:15user2251148
09:15user317-234

and I want the users to be treated as individual accounts, not merged with each other. 

I assume I need to use streamstats for this, but so far I've been unable to work out how.

Try this query

<basesearch multiple mailboxes>
| bin _time span=5m
| stats max(Items) AS Max  by _time User
| streamstats window=2 range(Max) as Delta by User
| fields _time Delta User
