How to edit my search to find the percentage of total bytes used for each URI path in the top 10?

Hi everyone,

I need your help. My current search is like this:

index="ihs_test"  uri_path="*.jhtml" OR uri_path="*.html"  | transaction clientip  | search bytes!="-" | stats sum(bytes) as total_usebytes |appendcols [search index="ihs_test"  uri_path="*.jhtml" OR uri_path="*.html"  | transaction clientip   | search bytes!="-" | stats sum(bytes) as total_usebytes_by_uri_path  by uri_path] | eval percentage=total_usebytes_by_uri_path/total_usebytes

I need to know the percentage of total bytes used for every page in the top 10. How do I do this?

Try this

index="ihs_test"  uri_path="*.jhtml" OR uri_path="*.html"  
| transaction clientip  
| search bytes!="-" 
| stats sum(bytes) as as total_usebytes_by_uri_path  by uri_path
| eventstats sum(total_usebytes_by_uri_path) as total_usebytes
| eval percentage=total_usebytes_by_uri_path/total_usebytes
| sort 10 -percentage 

Without the subsearch, this should run dramatically faster. Why do you need the transaction command at all?
