I am trying to control how many of the top results are shown.
I have the following search
stats max(c1693801001) as MaxCPU by measObjLdn | sort - MaxCPU
which gives me the following in the stats view:
measObjLdn MaxCPU
Object1 13
Object2 11
Object3 8
Object4 7
Object5 4
Object6 4
Object7 3
Object8 3
How do i just show the top 3 that would look like
measObjLdn MaxCPU
Object1 13
Object2 11
Object3 8
I have tried top but no joy, it just keeps showing them all
....| top limit=5 showcount=f showperc=f MaxCPU by measObjLdn | sort - MaxCPU

Just change to:
stats max(c1693801001) as MaxCPU by measObjLdn | sort 3 - MaxCPU

That is because you have a by clause so it is showing you the top 5 MaxCPU for each measObjLdn. You should be using head 3 after sorting to find out the top 3 values regardless of the combination.

++ simpler solution.
When i read the docs, it says "Specify the number of results to sort. " so I assumed only the first 3 events would be used but it should says "Specify the number of sorted results to return" instead.
